My friend remembered this place from the days when it known as the Bear. It has undoubtedly changed a lot since then. Shepherd Neame recently purchased the freehold from Enterprise Inns (now EI Group) and it is managed by the Elite Pub Company, we came here primarily for the food which is of an extremely high quality, we were pleased to see that no hidden extras were added to the restaurant bill.

Last pub of an evening's crawl of Malling and this was the busiest and brashest. Hardly seemed to be living up to its externally signed Gastropub epithet.
