Welcome to the Gatekeeper, Etchinghill, a traditional country inn resting at the southern end of the wonderful Elham valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty.  Dating back to 1595 this lovely pub provides a cosy and relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy a refreshing drink and delicious food from a wide-ranging menu with specials which change weekly.  We cater for vegetarians & vegans and can provide gluten and dairy free options.

We are dog-friendly, so why not enjoy a walk in the local countryside before or after your visit.  Popular too with cyclists and motorists with parking for up to twenty cars.
