Sunday lunchtime. Comfortably busy in the bar and restaurant. A good Sunday lunch at a reasonable price with friendly service. We liked it.

Home brew pub with disappointing beer. The bar girl recommended the Gloombar as her beer of choice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farriers Arms - Harvest Plenty | 4.20 | | Lacking any real flavour. Tasted like a homebrew beer. |

18:00 visit. En-route home and a quick look in. Seems they've been busy since Friday with this annual beer, music and food festival and a fair crowd still in. Two very large marquees, and several food outlets. Some 35+ national and local ales were on plus local ciders. Ales listed from the pub bar.

My first visit to this pub in years-last time, it was an Ind Coope house I think. A few folkies were convening for a tune up on a warm Tuesday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farriers Arms - 1606 | 3.70 | | A really decent brown bitter,something that Kentish brewers do very well. The hops are definitely there,but so is a good kotchel of malt.Good stuff. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Farriers Arms - Blacksmiths Best | 4.10 | Not Tried | I think the ABV was 4.1. this was listed as a stout. |

Cycled from Canterbury across the north downs. Interesting pub with a beautiful beer garden, the chickens were incredibly friendly. Shame there was only 2 Farriers beers on after coming all this way.
