The Five Bells, Dartford

Traditional village pub retaining two separate bars with a central servery. Plain furniture and unfussy decor. Small patio to one side and larger beer garden to the rear, both with wooden picnic benches. Harvey's (£3.80), Doom Bar, Courage Best and Hophead from four of five handpumps divided between the two counters.

Superb pub. Traditional style with everything you would expect from a village local. Well worth a visit.
