Converted from two cottages more than 150 years ago and modernised in the 1920s and 1990s, this Shepherd Neame house continues to work hard towards re-establishing its popularity but struggles in an area where every other brewer allows guest beers. There is a single bar with four TVs for live sport (different sports can be shown on different screens) and a pool table and darts board. Hidden away to the rear is a raised patio garden, ideal for summer evenings. Food is not served but if arranged takeaways can be taken in. Music is on an occasional basis.
