This was a Camra favourite and regular GBG entry back in the 1970s yet I had never been here so it was a must visit on my first ever visit to Rainham Kent. A proper pub with a regular clientele, I really enjoyed here and had a good chat with the long standing landlord.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Oast Dodger | 4.50 | | The first one from a new cask, good to see Sheps doing a green hop beer again. |
| Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | Normally available but I understand that a recent delivery had a problem and all had to be poured down the drain and refunded by the brewery. A fresh batch was getting ready in the cellar. |
