ordered half, very hazy tasted sent back and taken off. Seems to be some problems behind the scenes with the quality of ale here had a very similar experience a couple of weeks ago.

Handwritten pump clip said Blonde Ale but as I haven't heard of it and the beer wasn't blonde guessing it was Amber!

Fresh on and a little young, guess it's same as Three in a Bed at Crown Otford !
A Grade II listed, weather-boarded pub in Sutton Road situated at a crossroads but has parking at the rear. On entering from the car park, there is a bar area with some tables and at the far end the restaurant is to be found. Re-opened in November 2016 with a significant move towards top chef cuisine.
We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 37 different beers and tried 22 of them.
