Accommodation, Food, Drink

in
Littlebourne and neighbouring villages
2008

All the pubs serve a good range of well kept bitters.
Some pubs are open all day, some serve food all day, but book to eat or they may be full.
May 2008 - Most of the pubs would normally now stop serving food at 4pm on a Sunday, but if you would like to eat between the Cajun Dance and the Sandwich Gig, book in advance and some will be prepared to stay open for food.

All these villages are within walking distance of Littlebourne (Wingham, Stodmarsh - hiking distance), as is the campsite (bring a map to follow quiet/off-road footpaths, though there are new signs as well).
