We came to Doddington for a short winter walk so popped in here afterwards. Now this is what I consider a proper country pub. Old, warm, characterful and friendly.

Lunchtime cycle out here to meet three old wheelers. The right-hand (dog friendly) bar was cosy with log fire, 3 dogs and half a dozen drinkers.

Lunchtime cycle with my son - only Masterbrew on tap so I decided that our second pint should be in Faversham. My son was reliving some of his mis-spent youth with a pint of Hurlimans, but bemoaned that the ABV was lower than when it was known as “Hooligans”.

Mid afternoon-too late for lunch on the first wintry day of the season.We sat in the little public bar with our dogs and discussed the art of hoodening.First time I've been here since about 1971.
