Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Kings Head

16th-century inn, located at the top of the hill, near the church. Opened out inside under a low beamed ceiling to leave quite a dark U-shaped layout, with a modernised seating / dining area off to the left, a few stools around the central bar counter and the pool table, dartboard, and a few more chairs on the right-hand side. Also has a small terraced beer garden at the back. As a Shepherd Neame house, I found Master Brew, Spitfire and the seasonal Dragonfire (£5.20) available from the four handpumps on this first revisit for many years.

I sat by their fire whilst enjoying a pint of the “Late Red”.
There was a telly for those who feel the need to shout at sport whilst having a pint, and whilst the telly was tucked away round the corner, after a few minutes the noise of the three telly-watching thugs rather spoiled the ambience for the two dozen people who chose to be away from the telly.

Without the sport it would have scored a lot higher. As it is, I can't in all honesty go over 6/10. Average.
