21:00 visit. Alan on top form again. Few straddlers in and the ancient gas fires are now on and the winter edition of Draught Copy has been delivered. This pub is quite unique in the County Town, an oasis of calm and traditionality that is being lost forever in some parts. We must use them as much as we can and when these types are gone, sadly, they'll, be gone forever...

Goacher's - Fine Light Ale
3.70
Lovely ale. After this, two bottles of Barley Wine finished me off tonite.....
In Wyatt Street, one of three Goacher's tied pubs. Décor has not been updated for some time, but that adds to the joy of this quiet pub. Light, Mild and Stout on regularly. If you like Goacher's, then come here. Also, if you like a quiet pub with no airs or graces that serves well crafted beers then this is your place. The long standing licensee of nearly 37 years (Alan) left in late February 2015 bringing a phase of the pub to an end. Pub closed for a week then re-opened under new tenants, Matt and Gina who were themselves replaced by Alex and Polly in February 2018. The 3 original handpumps have now become 4. Secluded rear garden. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2016,
CAMRA West Kent Pub of the Year 2016, CAMRA Kent Pub of the Year 2016.
We have visited this pub 596 times, seen 11 different beers and tried them all.
