Lunchtime, interesting pub but only Spitfire on tap. Memorabilia very good and an explanation of the name on the outside wall. A Hoy was a small sloop rigged sailing ship, used to take people and supplies across to larger vessels moored off shore in the area known as The Downs.

I've been recommended this pub several times, so even though it is a Shep's pub, I thought I'd try it out. Down a quiet pretty side street. Central bar with 4 handpumps serving a single room Stripped wood floorboards, lots of local art on walls. Today's newspapers to read. Large decked area with plants for good weather and smokers. Has a civilised feel to it.

Shepherd Neame - Kent's Best4.10AcceptableVery toffeeish. Looks good, plenty of lacing. Some hop on end, not much, a low key bitter. It's fine, just nothing really makes it stand out.
