Stop 4. Now I decided to skip a pint here on the hope that I'd get a Goachers and a Larkins in the next. Nice pub with friendly staff.

Ah, the Peacock:a bit different from when Osbert ran it.He sold the only Harveys in our part of the Weald, and we came from miles around. Still, its a good pub:we came to meet our great nephew and entourage on a wet Monday lunchtime.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Shepherd Neame - Kent's Best4.10ExcellentPerhaps my favourite of Shep's regular range:mid brown,bit of malt, bit of hops, bit of character.
Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter3.70Not TriedRumour has it that beers from Shep's pilot microbrewery are often available.None today, unfortunately.
