Lunchtime. Busy inside and out. Sad to report that an application seems to have been made to cease this as a community asset. It may be doomed.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tonbridge - Countryman4.00ExcellentPerfect pint, full bodied.
Iron Pier - American Pale3.70Acceptable4.3 version, but thin. Far inferior to the Tonbridge in my opinion.

Lunchtime. Over 9 years since my last visit. Nicely busy mainly with diners. My wife and I had lunch and it was excellent. Unfortunately the microbrewery ceased about a year ago, according to staff.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tonbridge - Countryman4.00ExcellentA full-bodied, rich ale. Beautiful.
Iron Pier - Joined at the Hop3.80GoodThis one subtitled Fuggles & Sultana. Pleasant enough although I didn’t detect the sultanas.

Sunday Lunchtime visit - very busy with eaters. Good food but a little disorganised - no one obviously managing the rather inexperienced staff.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Swan on the Green - Steady Progress, Green Hop 20143.60ExcellentTop condition, nutty malty flavour.
Swan on the Green - Listers Thistle3.60GoodVery dry and bitter with a good body for a low strength ale. Not quite bright or it would have rated "excellent".

The pub is found in West Peckham, Kent, ME18 5JW.

Red brick pub on the village green with a church to one side and a view of oast houses and orchards across the cricket green. Longish building with the bar in the centre with 6 handpumps. Behind the pub was the small brewery that produced the beers served in the pub and closed in 2023. To the right is a bar area with tables and to the left a restaurant area. Hops hang from the ceiling to complete this beautiful village pub scene.

We have visited this pub 36 times, seen 39 different beers and tried 34 of them.
