I popped in here on a very snowy Saturday lunchtime, it was very hazardous walking up the hill from Maidstone East Railway Station but worth the effort. I was the first customer at 13:00 but when I left one hour later a couple more had entered.

Notes
Goacher's - Crown Imperial Stout
4.50
Just as it should be.
Goacher's - Real Mild Ale
3.40
This was towards the end of the cask, and Alan was worried that he may not have enoough to last the weekend.
Goacher's - Fine Light Ale
3.70
Very fresh, Alan had to have two attempts at topping up my glass, but it was worth the wait.

Evening visit...just as the snow blizzard started.
In Wyatt Street, one of three Goacher's tied pubs. Décor has not been updated for some time, but that adds to the joy of this quiet pub. Light, Mild and Stout on regularly. If you like Goacher's, then come here. Also, if you like a quiet pub with no airs or graces that serves well crafted beers then this is your place. The long standing licensee of nearly 37 years (Alan) left in late February 2015 bringing a phase of the pub to an end. Pub closed for a week then re-opened under new tenants, Matt and Gina who were themselves replaced by Alex and Polly in February 2018. The 3 original handpumps have now become 4. Secluded rear garden. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2016,
CAMRA West Kent Pub of the Year 2016, CAMRA Kent Pub of the Year 2016.
