Originally built as a farmhouse in the 1600s, the premises brewed its own beer for the workers. It is said that a green branch was hung out of an upstairs window indicating when the ale was ready for drinking.

On an 1897 map the premises is named the "Green Man and Railway Tavern."

2017 saw the pub renovated by owners Harvester.

The brand new menu on offer at Green Man pub in Longfield after a full scale revamp.

A pub in Longfield has reopened its doors just in time for the New Year celebrations following a major refurbishment.

It is part of the Vintage Inns collection and brings an eye-catching new look to the local on Longfield Road.

While still maintaining its rural charm and rustic character, the picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring its new menu.

Visitors to the Green Man can enjoy the pub throughout the year, with the cosy roaring fires in the winter.

They can also sample the selection of gins, ales and wines on offer behind the bar and try out some of the freshly prepared British dishes from the new menu.

Christopher Brady, general manager of the Green Man, said: "We wanted the new look to provide guests with a cosy pub where they can enjoy dinner, have a few drinks after a long country walk with their four-legged friends or simply to relax and read the Sunday paper.

The rural charm and rustic character of the local still remains.

"The Green Man is in a fantastic location, on the outskirts of Longfield and we have an amazing support network around us, so we hope that all of our guests, both regulars and first-timers love the transformation."

The pub celebrated the reopening with a brand-new menu certain to tickle the taste buds of guests.

New dishes include a Lamb Duo that is a pan-fired lamp rump and a cheddar topped shepherd’s pie, with seasonal vegetables and a red wine jus.
