Early evening visit. Quiet here but a friendly caring barmaid and I was impressed with the scrupulously clean toilets, a credit to any pub.

| Tonbridge - American Pale | 5.00 | | Rather flat, OK poured on gravity but needed more carbonation |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Merchant's Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Cliftonville, Kent, CT9 2PX.
In Northdown Road at its junction with Prices Avenue and yards from The Tap Room Micropub, in former bank premises. Bigger than a micropub but lots of trappings of a pub. The 4 handpumps on the front bar counter are purely decorative. Real ales are either served from 2 handpumps to the right hand side or from wall mounted taps which serve them on gravity dispense from casks on stillage in the room behind. A collection of old keg fonts adorn shelves and window sills.
We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 14 of them.
