Early afternoon visit to take advantage of a £5:40 meal and pint deal. If you ever wonder where all of Tonbridge’s retired folk hide away in the afternoon, I would suggest that the answer is that they are all in here.

The mini bus dropped us at the station so it was just a short walk up the high street for a final drink or three. I have only listed those I had but there were also three Rockin Robin beers on.

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1AP.

Located in the High Street this vast barn-like Wetherspoon pub was a post office for most of the 20th century. Before 1908, the 'We Three Loggerheads' pub stood on this site, with Humphrey Bean as its landlord. Banks of 6 handpumps adorn either end of the long bar counter to dispense the real ales here.

We have visited this pub 152 times, seen 355 different beers and tried 210 of them.
