Lunchtime - very quiet, just two others in. Only one beer on - other pump clip turned round. I sat in the sunshine overlooking the square.

Latish - live music on from a reasonable duo. Good atmosphere - the huge pub dog Shaun gave us a nice welcome. (117 to go for the big 30,000 up)

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 Ale3.80GoodA 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.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10AcceptableGetting towards the end of the barrel, I thought, ok bitter.
Adnams - Southwold Bitter3.70AcceptableI 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.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter4.00ExcellentGood character, typical Harvey's. Bit more malt than hoppy and I would happily drink this all night.
