Liked this so much last week I cycled back in the sunshine today. Quiet but welcoming just after 1pm opening.

Kent - Drenched3.00GoodA blonde ale with good citrus flavour. Brewed especially low to tempt those wavering about dry January I believe.

Here with my bus-pass group, 7 of us. The pub had opened by arrangement slightly earlier than the 1pm advertised time. A group of 5 others already in and taking advantage. Very good service and happy for us to bring some food in from the nearby chippie. Three ales on as we arrived, one finished but two more added in our two hours here. About a dozen other customers in. Good to see a well patronised new pub, especially in January. Ale prices £4.20 and £4.40 a pint.
