Have they finally caught on? Big sign outside saying Real Ale, for the best part of 10 years I have only ever seen Master brew on offer here.

12:15 I have walked by many times but never been in. However, my son had a flyer for the pub posted through his letterbox so I thought I had better have a look. New tenants took over four weeks ago. Long time Shepherd Neame Landlord and his French partner who both made me very welcome. A proper pub.
