What a great pub. I asked the landlady who brewed the house beer and she told me all about it and gave me a sample without me asking. The food was excellent and all the staff friendly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Otford Crown Ale (house beer) | 4.00 | | Brown beer. Hint of toffee, hint of strawberry, bit of bubble gum. An excellent beer. |
| Tonbridge - Three in a Bed | 3.60 | | The house beer brewed especially for the pub and aimed at the pubs dart team. A light brown beer. Toasted with a hint of peanut and a hint of lemon rind. Quite an acrid bitter finish. |
