The pub is found in Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9PY.

In Loose Road, one long bar in this family owned free house. Closed in late 2019 having been bought by the council to demolish in order to build a roundabout instead, a sad end to this pub.

We have visited this pub 36 times, seen 84 different beers and tried 79 of them.
