The pub is found in Rainham, Kent, ME8 8AN.
Micropub which first opened to the public on 12th March 2016 after a long battle by the owner to find suitable premises in the town. It is located in a converted part of the downsized Post Office (now physically separated). Cask ales and ciders are served from a temperature controlled cellar room on gravity dispense. Seating is on wall mounted benches at high tables and several wood surrounded booths with low tables. Garden at rear with picnic style tables.
We have visited this pub 14 times, seen 52 different beers and tried 44 of them.
