First pub of Ian and my tour of Tonbridge. Empty except for lots of staff. We sat by the window looking down the street.

I had not been here for many years, and I was saddened to see that this once great boozer was mostly laid out for dining with just a small area for drinking. Now appears to be down to just one hand pump.

Full of drinkers mostly at 8 pm when we had a table booked but by 11 pm we were almost the only ones left. Must be a fuelling stop on the way to somewhere else.

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1BW.

Characterful old building at the top end of Tonbridge High Street. Not sure whether it wants to be a pub or a restaurant.

We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 3 different beers and tried 2 of them.
