Things to do in Bearsted & surrounding areas
The Fish on the Green is right at the heart of Bearsted, a village that’s grown from a handful of old hamlets into the warm, welcoming place it is today. Everything here still centres around the village green and the historic Holy Cross Church, and you’ll spot plenty of traditional buildings that hint at Bearsted’s long past.
Cricket has been played on the green since 1749, which tells you a lot about the kind of village this is laid‑back, community‑minded and proud of its roots. Even though Bearsted has expanded over the years, it’s held onto that easy, village‑green charm that makes it such a lovely place to spend time.
With all that history and character just outside the door, The Fish on the Green is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great food in a village that feels instantly inviting.
