| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Early Mist | 4.30 | | Served far too cold here, so much so that I thought the haze indicated a wheat beer until it warmed up and cleared. Otherwise an uninspiring pale brew with some hop bitterness. My score 14/20 (B quality). |
07 Mar 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clark's (sometimes shown as Westgate Brewery) - Classic Blonde | 3.90 | | Quite a grassy, almost piney hop taste to this, rather dominant to the exclusion of any other flavours. My score 14/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Sneck Lifter | 5.10 | | From the sulphury nose and appley character this was brewed at Marstons and nothing like the original Jennings brew. My score 14/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box Steam - Funnel Blower | 4.50 | | Very good vanilla flavoured dark brown porter tempered by bitterness from hops and roast malt. Lingering bittersweet finish. My score 16/20. |

| Banks's - Toshi's Amber Ale | 4.40 | | Sweetish with a good biscuity/caramel malt character and good hop balance. Pleasant finish. My score 16/20. |
01 Nov 2009 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Fairport Five | 5.00 | | Rather sweet and sickly with a faint taste of apples, no hop character to speak of and a cloying, malty aftertaste. My score 13/20. |

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. Closed for a refurbishment expected to re-open 7th July 2026.
We have visited this pub 155 times, seen 362 different beers and tried 213 of them.
