Popped in as all the festival ales in the Flower Pot had been drank dry! Good selection should come in more often.

20:30 visit. My first time back here since the many changes of late 2012 and again, earlier this year. A good job has been done and the Real ale emphasis with it's definite Kent slant is a welcome sight. Lagers, Ciders and bottled range are also LocAle too. My two pals from Manchester were advised rightly by the Mad Cat brewer on their Saturday afternoon visit, that the ales would be available here, and, so be it, they were in for a real ale treat tonight? A much improved pub with an enthusiastic young barman that knew his stuff, this place will be worthy of more attention in future.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Black Gold | 4.00 | | A welcome sight for my guest's. |
| Mad Cat - Auburn Copper Ale (previously Meaney's Auburn Copper Ale) | 4.20 | | Went down well with my guest's. |
| Mad Cat - Golden IPA (previously Meaney's Golden India Pale Ale) | 4.20 | | Again, a delight for my guest's. |
| Tonbridge - Traditional | 3.60 | | My guest's final selection tonight and went down well. |
