Mid Friday evening - Chilham square looking good in the late sunshine - a reasonable smattering of customers in and outside.

Such a pretty village so I came up the hill for a pint

Been a long time since I've been here. It's a nice walk from the train station and through Chilham to the pub. There were a handful of people in.

We stopped off here after our Kent b/f session. A truly delightful part of Kent that deserves more attention for another day. Plenty of tourists coming and going. And the pub itself was a real gem. (And not being a Shep's pub, I should of enquired as to why they were selling Master Brew here?).

Busy with people eating lunch;the first stop on our attempt at the Stour Valley Walk

Although it was raining, the pub was still very full on a Sunday lunchtime. I got a lovely barrel chair by the real fire in the rear bar and sat reading my book, being happy.

I haven't been here for years which is a shame as this is such a pretty village. The pub is tucked away in the corner of the main square, opposite the manor house, just in front of the church. Central bar serves 3 rooms with a public bar at the rear, a side room and the main bar. Lighter colours in the main bar with a snug traditional feel in the rear bar.

Arrived about 9pm and there were a handfull of people in. It was quite smokey on one side of the bar but on the other it was a bit better and had the benefit of a loverly warming real fire.
