Late afternoon a couple of small groups including us enjoying the good quality beers on offer. Latest covid compliance with mandatory table service as per previous pubs visited today. Social distancing achieved with ease thanks to the size of the place.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 |  | Another easy 5* decision |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | Faultless |
| Tonbridge - Coppernob | 3.80 | | Full bodied earthy and yeasty fare. |

Early evening a fair few customers dotted about though easily absorbed in this now opened out spacious pub, thankfully hasn't spoilt the atmosphere a great deal. This was the first pub I tried Real Ale (TT Landlord) nearly 28 years ago and have been a convert since!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | Subtle malts and hop bitterness served in superb condition and temperature |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 |  | Rather lifeless and lacking condtion, unlike 28 years ago.. |
| Bexley - Old Mill Autumn Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Chiddingstone Causeway, Kent, TN11 8JJ.
Large well kept pub with several drinking and dining areas and plenty of seating. A good stopping off point if visiting any of the local stately homes and gardens like Penshurst Place, Hever Castle, Chiddingstone Castle or Chartwell. Varied menu of quality food served all day so popular with diners. Large garden makes a good summer location. Adjacent to Penshurst railway station.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 6 different beers and tried 3 of them.
