Quite busy for our lunchtime OAP meal. The Moroccan lamb dish for our main course and the homemade plum and apple crumble for our dessert were both excellent.

Moderately busy for our lunchtime foray into the delights of the OAP menu - the Cape Dutch Bobotie was a very good spicey dish.

The pub is found in Brook, Kent, TN25 5PG.
Allegedly built in 1609 this is an ancient house located in The Street. In 1804, the house was given the title the "Honest Miller", the significance of which dates back to the Saxons when a miller cheated the Romans by giving them a short measure. His ears were cut off as a penance and warning to others. After this millers not wishing to fall into the same category as their luckless and earless colleague hung a sign stating they were "Honest Millers". The pub has had many owners over the years. 3 handpumps on the bar counter.
We have visited this pub 86 times, seen 36 different beers and tried 28 of them.
