Empty apart from a couple of locals. Pleased to discover that Tuesday was Real Ale night with all pints at £2.50
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hepworth - Sussex Pale Ale | 3.60 | | Best of the three that I tried |
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | As with the Coppertop perfectly drinkable but it has tasted better elsewhere |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | |

First time visit. Situated out in the arse-end of nowhere down tight country lanes. Looks deceptively huge from the outside. Inside it's pleasant and was hush-quiet on a Saturday lunchtime despite most tables being taken. Currently undergoing major landscaping in the garden. Two handpulled ciders were the only standout feature, ale range nothing special with two on (plus what looked like the back of a Westerham clip on the third ale pump). Can't envisage a repeat visit any time soon.

| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Decent condition, standard session bitter. |

Quite a long pub with bar and seating at one end with a real fire and more tables and seating down the other end with a dart board. Low ceiling and wooden beams. Quite quiet on a Saturday lunchtime, but then again it is a fair bit out in the countryside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hogs Back - Advent Ale | 4.40 | | Ruby beer, with tan head. Choccy malt. Quite smooth, bit of port wine. Nice enough, supping strong mild. Not huge hop. Bit of dark syrup |
| Cottage - Brunel's Eastern | 4.80 | | Clearly bottom of the barrel as the barmaid had to really pump the beer engine to get the beer out. It was hazy as well. Bit of farty yeast and some citrus sweet fruit in mouth. Unattractive. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Romney Street, Kent, TN15 6XR.
A long former Courage pub with a 'back of no-where' feel to it. A bit of a challenge to find. Food sold here. Romney Street Caravan Park is nearby. Closed suddenly in November 2014.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 6 of them.
