Came for lunch on a sunny saturday afternoon. This is a lovely pub with a pretty garden which is bounded by a stream.

Shepherd Neame - Mild3.00GoodAlthough Ian tells me this is always keg I'm going to rate it anyway. It smelt slightly sour with a watery subtle burnt malt and hop taste and some very mild caramel on the finish
Shepherd Neame - Whitstable Bay Organic Ale4.50AcceptableBit dusty tasting but okay. Only ever seen this in bottles before and it tasted fairly similar

Pleasant pub by the river with a beautiful beer garden next to the water with willows providing shade. Serves a good range of Shepherd Neame beers. Seems friendly enough. Worth a repeat visit

Came in at the very end of the afternoon session when only a handfull of locals were left. The landlord was friendly as always.

Shepherd Neame - Canterbury Jack4.10AcceptableA clear chestnut brown beer with a slight head. Very hoppy but with a bitter resinous taste that I don't overly like. If there were any malt it was over powered by the resinous hops
