I was passing and there was a cricket match being played on the green opposite so I stopped for a swift half. I stood out the front and watch a lot of chaps sweating in their white.

We chose to sit inside for our meal which was very nice, but some customers decide to enjoy the warmish weather outside.

Busy in the restaurant area for our lunchtime excursion through the special Tuesday menu which proved both very tasty and good value. The service was cheerfully efficient.

Happened to find ourselves in need of sustenance at lunchtime and, having not been here for some time, we thought we would drop in. The meal was most enjoyable and the service friendly and efficient.

Last pub on my jaunt around Kent. Sat outside watching cricket in the sun was wonderful. 4 real ales on but I fancied a pint of Guiness and then wished I'd had something else.
