Evening - Has had several changes of landlord since the sadly missed Russell's tenure - after Sheps bought the pub and so reduced the beer choice :-(

A large and friendly pub on the corner of a T-Junction. We chatted with the landlord who told us about the other pubs he's run in the past. I was glad to see his support for Goacher's beers. This was a nice pub and I'll be back.

Came here with Andrew as part of our West Kent tour. Russell, the landlord, was very friendly and gave me a tour of the pub as Andrew read a book Russell showed him on Whitbread pubs in Kent. Some interesting pictures on the walls with lots of great stories attached to them.
