My first visit for over two years I note! En-route home, 7pm and dead quiet in town. This place has recently been fully refurbished, and a nice job too. A comfortable layout and a decent food menu noted.

18:00 visit. First time in here this year and not much improvement noted on the attention to certain detail. Still an ok pub for an occasional stop. One other ale noted on with some strange clip proclaiming 'Best beer fest' and 'American ipa 3.8' but giving no other detail to put down here.

The pub is found in Maidstone, Kent, ME14 1PP.

In Earl Street, entering through the front door there is a room at the front with the bar to the right serving 6 handpumps then a couple of rooms off to the left and at the back. Interesting lights about the bar. Popular with musicians and bikers. Was a Hogshead for a while before reverting to its original name.

We have visited this pub 65 times, seen 77 different beers and tried 54 of them.
