| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | | I'm fond of Hopdeamon beers, but don't think I'd had this before. A good reddish brown malty beer, with Kent grown Cascades.It put me in mind of Late Red: in fact, I think I prefer it. |

The pub is found in Frittenden, Kent, TN17 2EJ.
Tile hung, timber framed pub in the centre of the village. It incorporates the local Post Office. In 1967, Fremlins was taken over by the brewers Whitbread, and in 1969 after 65 years the licensee of The Bell retired. It was at this point that plans were made to combine both The Bell and the John Jorrocks pubs. The John Jorrocks was closed, and the Bell was renamed The Bell & Jorrocks under the tenancy of Phil Oliver, the former tenant of the Jorrocks. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2015 and again in 2018. CAMRA West Kent Pub of the Year 2015.
We have visited this pub 68 times, seen 83 different beers and tried 68 of them.
