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.

| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - White Horse Summer Ale | 3.80 | | A nice toasted nut and grapefruit hop flavour. Certainly good enough for me to have 3 of them. |

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?).

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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Getting towards the end of the barrel, I thought, ok bitter. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | I don't remember it being this dark. Tasty, less yeasty than I remember, but still a decent bitter. |

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.

| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Good character, typical Harvey's. Bit more malt than hoppy and I would happily drink this all night. |

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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 | | There was nothing wrong with this but I think it was near the end of the barrel. It had a quite deep and harsh bitterness to it and none of the usual flowery hop zing that a 'top of barrel' pint might have. Still, it was good to see it on. |
