There was an Inn at Kilve in 1689 originally called the Chough & Anchor. By 1832 it was named the Hood Arms. The pub was flourishing and stables added for the coaching trade on the toll road. Kilve was the centre of smuggling, with Brandy and illicit goods stored the Chantry situated behind the Hood Arms in Sea Lane.
