Last hour of opening visit until close. The few in were knocking it back. As a nightcap ordered a keg Orbit (collaboration with Utopian) 7.4% Baltic Porter but it fobbed and was impossible to fill a glass so second opt was for UnBarred King Conka 10% Imperial Stout.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Best Fuggles Hops | 4.10 | | A tasty drop - in my opinion the best of Five Points's output |
| Kent - Hallertau Blanc | 4.50 | | Alas time only for a half to make way for a strong nightcap to finish with |
| Iron Pier - Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Only With Love - Olicana | 3.90 | Not Tried |

I was very impressed with this place. Good food, good beer, prices lower than I'm used to in London.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alvinne - Wild West Kriek-Framboise | 6.00 | | Great to see an Alvinne beer on draught in England at a not-ridiculous price. And it's an absolute beauty. Tart raspberry and cherry. |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Root Thirteen | 3.60 | | Very pale and a bit lightweight. |
| Tonbridge - Coppernob | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Salopian - Divine Comedy | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| 360° - West Coast IPA | 5.60 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1BX.
An airy café-bar on the High Street opened in August 2017. Until conversion to pub use, the building was home to Lawson's Furniture Shop. Founded in 1763, at the time of its closure it was the oldest-established furniture showroom in England. The current building dates from 1878. Now it is a pub specialising in beer and cider across all formats. 6 handpumps and a rear wall with 16 keg taps.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 16 different beers and tried 8 of them.
