Nice village pub. Church pews for seats in the main bar with a pool table, TV and jukebox. Upto 4 beers on handpumps.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | This was a bit think and metallic. Yeasty citric aroma but a bit unpleasant. |
| King & Barnes (now see and use Badger entries) - Sussex Best Bitter | 3.50 | | Slightly soapy. Caramel aroma with some apple. Dark brown beer with disappearing beige head. Hoppy dry finish, but dull, boring and thin |
| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 |  | Badged as Dark. This was off so I had to return it. |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried |
