Pleasant pub with nice interior. A different guest beer each week according to the barman.

Came her mid evening with Jane, her mum and her brother. The pub garden was full of men in dresses singing rugby songs. We sat in the little green opposite the pub and drank our beer whilst being serenaded with a song about the sexual exploits of Yogi Bear.

After a cold, windy but bright lunch time walk from Wingham it was good to get inside a warm pub. The interior is small but interestingly partitioned. Unfortuately the prevailing smell was of burning stale fat.

Well served and quite pleasant but hey, it's Green King IPA
Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen
4.50
I haven't had Old Speckled Hen in 10 years and perhaps this is why.
Situated opposite the church in The Green. An ancient inn, the building itself dates back around 700 years. The interior features oak beams, wooden floors, and two inglenook fireplaces. Closed spring 2023 as announced on its website - no known future. Subsequently re-opened under new management.
We have visited this pub 15 times, seen 26 different beers and tried 20 of them.
