I had not been here for about forty years and although my memories of those visits are a bit hazy I can certainly say that the pub has changed. Now very much a managed house food led pub.

A cold February Thursday evening;we'd come to meet fellow members of our horticultural collective. Dull beer range, so I had a bottled Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Stopped off here on our way back from an event in Pluckley. 1700 and pleasantly surprised to see Harvey's Best on plus two others. Busy with diners and families. Not too pricey alewise and good service.
