Mid evening visit. Plenty of diners with plenty of attentive staff - drinkers not so well attended to. Didn’t feel that comfortable.

Evening - bit of a reunion of drinkers from the now closed Unicorn at Bekesbourne. The pub has had a refurb - well segregated dining area with two areas at the front for proper drinking. Large log fires in each busy but not over-crowded - very enjoyable.

Early afternoon, few in. The pub is in the middle of a redecoration and the kitchen is currently closed - may be new owners and from listening to the barman there are changes afoot.

The pub is found in Bridge, Kent, CT4 5LA.

In High Street, a fair sized pub with 2 main areas. The side room is laid up for food and the main bar area is narrow with a couple of comfy chairs in it but then turns into a seated area. Taken over by new lessees with a re-naming at the end of 2020 and relaunch very much as a food venue.

We have visited this pub 39 times, seen 51 different beers and tried 32 of them.
