My first visit here since Shepherd Neame bought the pub, it was just before 12:00 so the pub was fairly quiet but diners were starting to arrive. We were pleased to be served full measures every time.

Busy, mainly with diners.This used to be my Office from the mid 70s to the late 90s, when it was ruined by "City Boy".Now a Sheps pub: pleasant but nowt special.
