Evening. Pleasantly surprised by the range of beer here and the staff's attention to detail and interest in real ales. 20% real ale discount is a winner linked to its buy 6 get 1 free offer in addition. Last time I drank here must have been Cydrax, with crisps, sitting in the car park in my Dad's car one late Sunday night after a trip back from Herne Bay.

The pub is found in Blackfen, Greater London, DA15 8PR.

A rambling building formerly the Woodman, it was built in 1845 but was demolished and rebuilt in 1931 by Reffells Brewery when large-scale building began in the area. Recently renamed after the original landlord. Used by many in the old days as a sliproad roadhouse just off the A2 Rochester Way. Very large inside and a major emphasis on TV screens for sport. An honest boozer with a Wetherspoon's style. 6 handpumps. A 10% discount on real ales for card carrying CAMRA members plus a buy 5 get 6th one free loyalty card on ales, the latter for everyone. Refurbished and relaunched in December 2018. Large TV screens showing sport in all parts of the pub.
