17:00 visit. Not been in here for some time. A proper local run by a good couple. Good crowd in today for the live music, and fellow p&b scribe Pedro in attendance too. This is a current 2013 gbg entry. Has been in the guide 14 times previous in:1976-80/2-8/90/3. This year, CAMRA Maidstone & Mid Kent branch members have rated this pub highly and due to high scores on the beer scoring system, we now see a well deserved, lively Shep's pub in the current gbg.

Dull as dishwater. Cold, uninspiring and £3.70 in a backstreet pub.Very poor value. Wont be returning in a hurry.
A good old fashioned type in Boxley Road. Two rooms with some very nice etched windows with the corner doors pertaining to the "Jug Department"! Old interior and furniture and a semi-circular bar. Easily found at the lower end of Boxley Road near the Prison. Sold by Shepherd Neame at auction summer 2019.
We have visited this pub 48 times, seen 31 different beers and tried 26 of them.
