Came for lunch. Sat in the back. Yes, the food is now quite expensive but the surf and turf was excellent as was the nachos for starter and the desserts are pretty good.

| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | | Yeah, pretty good, bit warm maybe, but the hops were good, they were decent pale malts and it was pretty drinkable. |

Somehow my boss persuaded me to take her out for a working lunch, so we came here. I still like this place, good lasagne and the feel of a village local. Which it is.

|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Early Bird | 4.30 | | My first pint of this beer, this year. Got an almost white wine grape hop aroma. Slight yeast. Not a huge bite of hop on the finish. OK drinking bitter. |

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | I could have drunk this all night, great quaffing bitter. A half of my pint would disappear in a single gulp. |

Relatively busy on a Friday lunchtime. Lovely pub in the pretty village of Stowting at the foot of the hills on the North Downs Way. 4 beers on

|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Copper colour. Nice orange/caramel aromas. Good aggressive hop finish. Best pint of this that I've had in a bit |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | Copper colour, off white lasting head. Yeasty caramel aromas with some apple fruit. Hops are quite floral with dry hoppy finish. Just a tad thin which means it is just below its best |

Very good village pub at the foot of the North Downs. Very popular and now has extended seating on the front patio for the summer. Up to 6 beers on and a good menu. Fairly busy on a Friday lunchtime with a relaxed friendly atmosphere
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | | Golden beer. Does not drink its strength and can get you deceptively drunk. Slighly hoppy nose with some creamy lemon citrus acids in mouth. Pleasing refreshing summer beer made for a beer garden |

The pub is found in Stowting, Kent, TN25 6BA.
Excellent freehouse on the North Downs Way in a small village. At one time an early community owned venture. Changed hands in 2021 and re-opened 29th May 2021 after an extensive internal gutting and refurbishment, after which facilities and beer range will change. See the glorious Mackesons Hythe Ales front fascia signage.
We have visited this pub 20 times, seen 31 different beers and tried 19 of them.
