Mid evening busy yet the size of the place swallows up the crowds so finding a free table wasn't an issue. I'd seen glowing YouTube reviews on JDW's beef madras upon sampling I wholly concur with, made a change from my usual pizza craving! Only non NB's listed..
Oakham - 12 Monkeys | 4.80 | | Vibrant and complex tropical fruit and lemony citrus flavours, a soft mouthfeel and balanced bitterness complemented my curry perfectly. |

Evening visit keeping close eye on last train times.
Wantsum - More’s Head | 3.70 | | Disappointing. Fobbed massively on pouring, first day on so seemed too fresh and hardly any depth of taste |

Very busy so after a couple of minutes scouting around we pounced on a just vacated beer logged messy table and enjoyed ale and pizzas..

02 Apr 2022 (Magnus Greel)
Late lunchtime and busy as expected for the time and location. No tables free so I propped myself at the far end of the bar. My patience was rewarded as a table became free so I grabbed it and ordered my pizza to complement my beers.
Tonbridge - Blonde Ambition | 4.20 | | Grainy with a bitter malt finish |
Tonbridge - Golden Rule (was 3.5%) | 3.20 | | Strong wheaty kick with a biscuit twang |

25 Jul 2021 (Dosser)
After arriving back from Tenerife so late we had to stay at a hotel at Gatwick and stopped off here for lunch on the way home by train. The beer selection was very poor and I ended up having a punk ipa with my burger.
Tonbridge - Blonde Ambition | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Doing a good lunchtime food trade. All the pump clips were facing the customer so it was impossible to tell which beers were actually available. I overheard one member of staff apologising to a customer because the Doom Bar was off.
Whitstable - Safe Anchorage Mild | 3.80 | | Very different to the Goacher's Mild that I had just drunk in a nearby pub. This had a slightly sour taste and was not what I would normally expect from a Mild. |
Westerham - Audit Ale | 6.20 | Not Tried | |
Whitstable - Winkle Picker | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
Tonbridge - Coppernob | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
