Earlier this year, the staff took a selfie with popstar Ed Sheeran after the singer stopped by for the evening.

He visited on a Wednesday night, when The Hengist offers a "steak night special", and stopped to take photos with members of staff during his time there.

Now the Grade II listed building, which sold a decade ago for £310,000 at auction after the previous owner Paul Smith passed away, is on the market for £625,000.

The Hengist is just a short walk from the banks of the River Medway and is located in a conservation area.
