The Woolpack, Sittingbourne

Modernised village pub with passing glimpses of a refurbished bar and dining room, both temporarily inaccessible due to the current coronavirus restrictions, as you walk round to the back. However, the patio has been extended recently to provide a reasonable amount of outdoor seating, and when I stopped by this area was fairly busy with a mix of restaurant customers and those just having a drink. Only one real ale on handpump: Adnams Ghost Ship (£4.30).

Reflecting the wool trade with nearby Sheppey, the Woolpack is a busy village pub,the only one in the village. It's a large Georgian building which has been modernised and knocked through to form a pub and restaurant. There is a small but well-kept garden reached through the restaurant area and a decent sized car park to the rear. Only one ale on, Bombardier, which was not that well kept. OK to pop in if passing for lunch or a swift half if visiting, and it's the last pub before leaving the mainland (important to know if you're cycling or walking to the Island), but I wouldn't make an evening of it.
