New pub entry for me - although I was here on 21 April 1982 for my wedding anniversary. It doesn’t appear to have changed much.
Sunday lunchtime cycle group meet. Nicely busy. Well kept beers, but not very adventurous.

A wet and windy afternoon. Once upon a time I lived around this way. It was nice to be back. The pub was much the same as when Sheps had it. Seemed friendly.

We cycled here with a thunderstorm straight ahead of us. The pub was empty except for the staff. It was friendly as always and a short lived power cut caused by the storm made it even more enjoyable.

The pub is found in Staple, Kent, CT3 1LE.
A really old pub in Barnsole Road. The kind of pub you could imagine walking into after a hard day working as a farmhand and having a pint of Fremlins (RIP). It has 3 rooms: 1 is a public bar that's got a large TV, pool table etc. another is the dining room and the 3rd is the saloon bar. The pub used to be a brewery. Friendly enough and fairly busy for the middle of nowhere.
We have visited this pub 14 times, seen 15 different beers and tried 12 of them.
