Wheatsheaf Inn, Edenbridge

20 minute walk from Edenbridge Town & watch yourself on Marsh Green Rd, the cars can arrive at speed. First impression was not particularly welcoming but that changed when the barman took time out to talk about their beers & even local micros (eg Larkins, Chiddingstone). Very much a local regulars haunt, very dog friendly, details showing nearby point-to-point in which one of the lady customers was due to ride. Attractive interior, light wood floor, real fire, good menu but too long (keep it short & freshly cooked). Now then - Harvey's Sussex, Mild, Porter, Everard's Tiger, Cotleigh Harrier Lite (3.5%) from Somerset, Westerham Freedom Ale, Biddenden's (8%) cider on draught. Shame they had to have Neighbours showing on tv in back room but mercifully inaudible in bar.

A traditional Kentish village pub, with a well-preserved interior comprising two bars plus a back room (together with a dining area in a modern extension). There is also a beer garden to one side plus a couple of benches out the front. Perhaps I was unlucky as only three of the nine handpumps were in use when I last visited, but my pint of the local Larkins (£3.20) was first class (with Harveys and Westerham Summer Perle also available). NB - If walking from one of the stations in Edenbridge, there is a reasonable footpath (SR617) running between the side of the cottage hospital and the back of the green at Marsh Green which avoids the busy roads when the footways run out.
