Well done Pete.  The reference to numerous holiday makers was the large Foxhunter Holiday Park which is adjacent.


Over to you ...

Head south from the pub and you would cross a railway line, then farmland with dykes and end up on the bank of the River Stour.

Now called a Lodge.


Until recent years it was more of a hamlet with just a few houses, this pub and a church.  Now more built up with housing.

Further clue:
Smoke rising from the scene of the fire

Explosion in Kent Village.   Homes were evacuated and an exclusion zone put in place after a fire broke out at a farm workshop which contained gas canisters.

Was it an Astra nomical explosion?


Not that one although that's not too far away.  I'm sure anyone in the area of the pub heard the Astra explosion.   However, there was another smaller explosion closer to this pub.   Didn't get the same publicity as the Astra one but the village was evacuated. The pub is on a road that connects two villages and probably does a good trade with numerous holiday makers who stay close by.

Richborough?


Not Richborough Stewie but you are quite close.  A much smaller explosion.  The pub is on a road that connects two villages and probably does a good trade with numerous holiday makers who stay close by.
