Three years after the launch of The Milk House in Sissinghurst, we're excited to share that we are just weeks away from throwing open the doors of a new village pub called The Barrow House in Egerton. Egerton is a beautiful, bustling village known for its clubs, sports, festivals and its community spirit – and we can't wait to meet everyone.

With plans to pour our first pints in late September, a top-to-toe renovation is currently underway. We'll be open from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, for everything from coffee in the morning, classic pub lunches and teatime treats to evenings out with friends and family, special occasions, celebratory events or a simply cheeky pint in the bar.

To help everyone make the most of the last warm weather, we're putting tables and chairs on an outside terrace and we'll be creating a garden for little ones to enjoy next summer. When winter arrives there'll be crackling fires and comfy seating to make all our guests feel right at home.

Throughout the year, our kitchen will be busy preparing a range of menus using locally sourced fresh ingredients, with traditional pub classics as well as a more adventurous selection of starters, main courses and puddings with some smoking flavours and chargrilled treats.

There'll be a light grazing menu for those in the bar, delicious roasts on Sunday and healthy options for children too. To wash it all down, there'll be local beers, cask ales and great wines by the glass, including several from nearby vineyards.

Upstairs there'll be three beautiful bedrooms for those who want to spend a little more time in the village. These will be fresh and comfortable, with big beds, luxurious en suite bathrooms, contemporary fabrics and lots of natural light. 

The building dates back as far as 1576 and we loved finding out about the history of the pub and the village. We're naming The Barrow House after Egerton's oldest structure – the round barrow in a field to the east of the village.

This unique landmark is a recognised Ancient Monument, thought to date back to the Bronze Age, and it inspired us to pull together mood boards featuring copper and bronze textures, earthy tones, jewel hues and circular motifs based on the shape of Bronze Age shields.

We've still got a long way to go and lots to do, but we're pouring a lot of passion into the project and working hard to make The Barrow House a great place to visit. We hope you'll love it and hope to see you soon.
