Lunchtime cycle meet. Warm enough (just) to sit in the garden. Pleasant enough. A few eaters in.

Lunchtime, cycle club meeting. We rather took over the left side bar - which I’m pleased to see has remained largely unaltered over the decades I have visited this pub, even though the right hand side has changed beyond recognition.

Lunchtime - cycling past - hadn’t been here for years. The indoor kids room/bowling alley is now a restaurant.
Beer badges displayed on small fake barrels on the wall - all fetched from the tap room behind the bar. I’m guessing that only the Master Brew was cask.

Arrived about 4pm. I've not been here since the previous long standing landlord left. The pub had changed but not much. It was slightly more corporate in look but it still retained much of its original charm.

Like the display of wooden casks. Will visit again, although will need lots of money.
Shepherd Neame - Dragonfire | 4.50 | | Possibly the best Shepherd Neame beer I've tasted. |

Came for lunch. It was nice and sunny in the garden, and quiet. The menu here has lots of options and I had a mixed grill which was very good. Staff here are always friendly.
Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | No real condition on it. Couple of floaters so I'm guessing bottom of the barrel. Drinkable but a bit dull although there was still a hint of fruity malt about it. |

Despite the thunder and lightning James and I set out for a pint or two. Very quiet in here.
Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | Murky and unappealing, way past it's best, I left most of it |

James and I came here for a quick drink before dinner. Just a couple of locals in.
Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | A nice pint,fresh tasting and in good condition, hoppy with a good citrus bite and a good finish. |
Shepherd Neame - Mild | 3.00 | | OK, a nice pint but nothing special. |

Cycled here, which took about 15 mins, and arrived just after 7. It was such a nice evening that I sat out in the garden listening to the doves and watching the distant poplar trees swaying in the breeze.
Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | In reasonable condition. Nice hint of mandarine orange and some underlying caramel with a reasonable bitter finish |
Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Shepherd Neame - Whitstable Bay Organic Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | This seems to have taken over from Goldings. |

Very friendly, laid back, country pub with a lovely garden, good range of Sheps and an excellent food menu. Our inquisitive little toddler loves the garden and the landlord is kiddy (and dog) tolerant, so full marks there.
