It must be a good 10 years since I have been in this pub. I cycled around Willesborough and Wye to get here from Ashford on a sweltering hot Sunday so I was ready for my pint. Only Master Brew on, but the pint was excellent. I guess if you only do 1 beer, then do it well. A fair number of locals were at the bar in the public bar.

Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter3.70ExcellentDeep copper colour with bubbly off white head. Caramel aroma with Sheps yeast. Full and juicy malt in mouth with more caramel and pleasant biting hop finish.

The pub is found in Ashford, Kent, TN25 4DZ.

Shepherd Neame pub on the A28 at the edge of Kennington, north of Ashford. Central bar serves 2 rooms. The public bar has a pool table, music and TV. The lounge bar had tables set for Sunday lunch. A feeling of slight shabbiness, but a nice enough local pub.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 1 beer and tried it.
