The Leicester Arms, in Penshurst, near Tonbridge, owned by Brakspear, has been named in The Good Food Guide’s inaugural 100 Best Pubs.

The listing comes hot on the heels of the pub’s recent inclusion in The Guardian’s 30 Best UK pubs for an autumn escape with great food.
The pub was transformed with a major refurbishment in 2024 by the Little & Large Pub Company, which runs the venue.
“This is wonderful and well-deserved recognition for the team at The Leicester Arms,” said Brakspear chief executive, Tom Davies.
“Under Little & Large, the pub has gone from strength to strength, thanks to their focus on achieving the highest standards in the kitchen and front of house. We’re delighted to be working with such a talented pub operator.”
