A great micro pub with a twist. A great selection of well kept Ales, ciders changing all the time. A permanent lager is Cruzcampo what I was on very nice. The food is Tapas which I didn't try as I had already eaten. Spacious and great atmosphere the staff and locals give you a warm welcome. Dog friendly and on Sundays do a roast. Sarah the owner also has a Air B N B directly above the premises capable of sleeping upto 6 - 8 people. , There was 4 of us it was comfortable and spacious, low beams and sloping floors which were quirky. I would describe The Ancient Borough as the hub of Tenterden and a great Micro pub in Kent . Give it a try you wont be disappointed. I visited today with wife her youngest son and fiancée who is half Spanish. We had the Tapas and a couple of drinks. My stepson had Cruzcampo a nice pint of lager, I had 2 pints of the session pale not to strong , the food was excellent, we had the special cod cheeks ,prawn skewers. Pottatoe bravas, mushrooms in garlic, Black pudding & chorizo in red wine sauce. The food was excellent and the plates were cleared before we realised no photo had been taken. The food got the thumbs up from a half Spanish lass. Service was excellent and we were lucky to get a seat as it was very busy. Not to mention Camra pub of the year 2023 for Ashford, Folkestone & Romney Marsh. Well worth a visit.

This is an excellent little pub. The beers are well kept with a good selection that changes regularly and can be sampled as a tray of thirds. The same for ciders although I haven't tried those yet. The staff are very welcoming. As for the tapas...wow! We're gradually working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed once. Excellent real ales and authentic tapas, what more could you want.

Very lovely authentic Spanish tapas and delish beverages. Very accommodating to our large hounds. So good, highly recommended. It is a tad pricey but worth it 👌

Although we have been going to Tenterden at least once a week for the past 6 years, we only walked in for lunch today. Tapas was very good and so were the specials. A lovely combination of a pub with local brews and delicious food. We will be back again.

I was meeting someone in Tenterden, a lovely village in Kent, and she suggested The Ancient Boro! As a local, I followed her lead and was not disappointed! Lovely staff, good selection of local ales and cider - I opted for the rhubarb cider from a local brewery in Biddenden - delicious! The food is tapas with a hood selection of meat, fish and vegetable options! The food was excellent and well needed to soak up all the cider I drank!

Great beer and atmosphere. Both the owner and staff behind the bar were freindly and efficient. We didn't eat there, but tried all six beers and loved them all. Nice little gem of a place.

The food here was absolutely amazing and at an extraordinary price, i got a delicious 28 day aged 8oz rump for around £14 and it was one of the best steaks id had in a while, must give it a try.

What a warm welcome! A lovely friendly pub with the addition of delicious, piping hot tapas. We wanted to pop out for some 'grown up' time, with a quick bite to eat and that's exactly what we got. Brilliant! I highly recommend this place. Food was delicious.
