Mid afternoon visit. My wife spotted pickled egg and crisps on the “small bites” menu, this was anything but a packet of crips with an egg poppped in it, more like “a free range hens egg pickled in wine vinegar on a bed of hand-cut crisps seasoned with sea salt and a pea-shoot garnish”. Well worth four quid!
Very pleasant in here.

Lunchtime to exchange pressies with daughter and family. We had some superior snacks and were given Christmas crackers. Busy with diners but a very pleasant festive atmosphere and exceptionally pleasant, efficient staff.

Early evening - not been here for a good few years. The place has had a significant makeover and is much larger with an extension to the rear and the side from what I recall. The bar is now “midships” with the old front of house an eating area (as is most of the pub). Outside decking areas to the front and side. The inside and outside of the pub was resplendent in Christmas lights and decorations. Very friendly, pleasant young staff.

Fairly quiet on a warm June evening, the opening day of the World Cup.We came to celebrate everyone being in the same place.
Loddon - Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter | 4.10 | | I'd often ignored this beer,but I found it a workmanlike bitter with a decent hop bill. |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Tiger Top | 4.00 | | Getting towards the end of the cask:a splitting of flavour. |

The restorative effects of Jane Austen and good beer and food. Busy on a December Saturday lunchtime, intriguingly including a large party of babies.
Pig & Porter - Ashburnham Pale Ale | 3.80 | | A commanding spicy pale ale. |
Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Life | 3.90 | | A complex golden ale:candied blackcurrants. Not as cloying as my description might suggest. Good. |

For veterinary reasons we were starving the cat, so decided to get as far away as possible.Busy with drinkers and diners on a blustery November Saturday lunchtime.Enjoyed catching up with the Chairman. A cracking pub.Biddenden Bushells cider on handpump.
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Tiger Top | 4.00 | | An honest to goodness best bitter:amber, gratifying malt and underlying assertive hops.Touch of farmyard. |

Mid afternoon on a Saturday, and the customers were out in force, thankfully it was a nice sunny day and many people were sitting outside, leaving plenty of room for us non-smokers to enjoy the interior of this pub. Most of the customers were dining and the food looked very good, but we just had the beer.
