The Grasshopper Inn dates back to the thirteenth century. According to old newspaper cuttings, it was the centre of the village's social life.

There were two cottages huddled together behind a dusty cart track.

One of the small cottages was used as a beerhouse called 'The Plough'. There were two rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor. The front room was furnished with a deal table in the middle and deal forms along two sides.

The other side accommodated two wooden barrels or trestles.
One contained Westerham Strong Farmers Ale of nostalgic memory and the other Westerham Mild Ale. When customers came, they banged on the table, and the landlady emerged from the back room.

She filled their pint or quart tankards from the wood, then retired to the back

It is not known exactly when The Plough changed to The Grasshopper Inn, but apparently there was a small establishment called The Grasshopper Inn at Titsey on the Titsey Estate. This belonged to the Squire who at that time was of the Leverson-Gower family.

This inn was for some reason demolished and the Squire ordered the Plough Inn to be changed to The Grasshopper Inn.

During the 1950s The Grasshopper Inn was restored and extended using old materials, including a wrought iron from the Houses of Parliament and the vestry doors from the Coventry Cathedral which can be found among the panelled walls and beamed ceilings of the Tudor Suite.
