We sat in the public bar and talked about the old days when the only food served here was bread and cheese accompanied by Fremlins Bitter.

Sat by the fire on a grim late April night, thinking about the days when this was the classic bread 'n' cheese pub ,(and sold Fremlins!).

| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | A real uncompromising East Coast beer: I could feel the East wind and taste the seaweed. Adnams are on top form at the moment.And on gravity dispense! |

Called in on my way home. Sat in the empty public bar for old time's sake.Hadn't been in for at least seven years, though we only live just up the road, but a friendly face behind the bar. Listened to the girlies discussing their love lives.Good pub.

| Adnams - New Zealand Pale Ale | 4.00 | | What a beer:sensuous, bitter sweet,acid fruitdrops. And on gravity! I drank some excellent Fremlins here in the old days, but this runs it very close. |

It was Jane's birthday and she wanted to visit Sissinghurst Castle so we came here for lunch. We arrived at 11 only to find it opened at 11:30 so we went to a garden centre for half an hour. Not surprisingly we were the first through the door half and hour later. What a great pub. The beers are on gravity behind the bar and to start with we sat out in the garden enjoying the summer sun. The food was good and wasn't that expensive for what we had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | A touch flat but it still had nice fruity notes. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | A bit flat and it had a sharpish bite to it. Not the best Wherry I've ever had but I suspect is doesn't do that well on gravity. Still, nice to see it on. |

The pub is found in Biddenden, Kent, TN27 8LW.
The pub is found on the road between Sissinghurst and Biddenden. During the Seven Years War (1756-1763) it is said that up to 3,000 French prisoners were kept at nearby Sissinghurst Castle. The French seamen were placed on parole in the surrounding area and were allowed out as far as the pub building. At the time locals referred to this as the 'Three Wents' (or three ways) but the prisoners called it Les Trois Chemins. The unique name of the Three Chimneys therefore derives from the French term for the junction of three roads.
We have visited this pub 57 times, seen 48 different beers and tried 35 of them.
