Lunchtime on a blustery Sunday.The cosy looking front bar was full, as was the dining room at the back, where we enjoyed Sunday lunch.A proper pub in an interesting village, where I once bought a letterbox.

| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | A revelation-I hadn't tried this before,an epitome of East Kent .Great hops, followed by a floral , aromatic taste very reminiscent of Fremlins back in the 70's. In my personal rating scheme, I gave it 4.5 stars. |
| Hopdaemon - Skrimshander IPA | 4.50 |  | That wonderful Skrimshander depth of flavour, perhaps not the best I've had,but still high in my estimation. |

Early evening, very much a local trade at this time of day with most of the customers on first name terms with the bar staff. I sat in a corner and relaxed with a nice view of the village square and church.

I visited at lunchtime, and found the place reasonably busy, and was welcomed by a friendly landlord. The Hopdeamon Golden Braid was very enjoyable. This pub now serves as the village Post Office.

The barman/landlord was a cheery fellow well suited to the job. The clientele were eclectic, interesting and also cheery. The real fire was blazing giving the pub a cosy feel. I liked it.
