The Kings Head, Maidstone

Probably the only pub most people see when passing through Sutton Valence as the other three are located on the original main road off to the east of the A274. Once inside the plain brick building, you find a reasonably-sized bar whose main feature is the seats which are all cut from large wooden barrels. There is also a separate dining are up a few steps which is partially screened from the bar by the timber skeleton of a former wall. Three handpumps offering Master Brew, Bombardier and a reasonable pint of Landlord. Overal, quite a comfortable place (and you get offered the choice of a straight glass or jug for your point).
