The Ship, Dartford

Two-room pub in a semi-rural location betwixt the pub-less settlements of Hextable and Joyden's Wood. Features a light and relatively modern bar at the front, a darker, more traditional lounge (with a conservatory extension) at the rear and a basic beer garden at the back. No sign of real ale initially, but Harvey's (£3.90) was available from one of the pair of handpumps on the second counter.
