Came for lunch with Jane and Alison before going for a walk in country. Arived around 12 and it a few people were in at the bar. It's a good, friendly pub.

Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA)4.10ExcellentLovely pale golden beer with a wispy head. Lots of elderflower and lemonlime peel. Very refreshing and I could have drunk it all day.
Larkins - Traditional3.40AcceptableFine but a bit of marmite on the bite. Some red fruit and a pleasant enough earthy hop but I've had better.

Now this pub I did like. Flint/stone building. Central serving area with 2 bars. Saloon had 3 handpumps with another 3 in the public bar. TV, juke box and dart board. Photos of old village life adorn the walls as well as a trophy cabinet and some cricket memorabilia. Good sound village local pub. Brewery signs on walls too. Barmaid was interested in mine and Andrew's crawl on the day.
