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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tonbridge - Countryman | 4.00 | | Perfect pint, full bodied. |
| Iron Pier - American Pale | 3.70 | | 4.3 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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tonbridge - Countryman | 4.00 | | A full-bodied, rich ale. Beautiful. |
| Iron Pier - Joined at the Hop | 3.80 | | This 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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swan on the Green - Steady Progress, Green Hop 2014 | 3.60 | | Top condition, nutty malty flavour. |
| Swan on the Green - Listers Thistle | 3.60 | | Very 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.
