Low key opening tonight. keg and bottled beers only at the moment but is planned to have pins of cask in the future. I was disappointed to find that they do not accept cash as I do not like using cards for small amounts. Very welcoming brewers behind the bar so I stayed here for a few keg beers. There are currently no glass washing facilities so beers are served in paper cups. I looked at the bottle display and decided that if I have an Orval I will bring my own glass. I have called this place Boutilliers at the Old Coachworks in agreement with the guvs as this place does not have a name at the moment. A spiral staircase leads to the Yard Bar which is operated by Curious Brewery.

The pub is found in Ashford, Kent, TN23 1HU.

This bar originally opened on Friday 29 November 2019 operated by Boutilliers brewery. To find it enter the yard of the former coachworks and the bar is situated in the building on the left. Equipped with several keg lines and a large selection of bottled and canned products. One basic bench seat or else it is standing room here. The building has one truly shared unisex toilet cubicles room facility. Fairly rigid eco-friendly plastic "glasses" only here. Card payments only, no cash accepted here. Currently (September 2020) open Thursdays to Sundays only. Update May 2022. Then operated by The Made Inn. Open Friday to Sunday with six draught (not cask) lines and over 100 different bottles and cans. Has stated the intention to close on 23rd December 2023 quoting difficult trading conditions. Would now seem to be trading as part of The Platform Bar in the Coachworks.

We have visited this pub 12 times, seen 10 different beers and tried 7 of them.
