Semi-traditional 18th-century inn, overlooking the large village green so (if you ignore the surrounding houses on the other sides) it appears more like country pub than something you would expect to find in this isolated town near the far end of Romney Marsh. Partly opened-out inside, the refurbished front section of the L-shaped bar is lighter than one might expect, as is a separate side room, but the rear seating areas have a darker appearance. Another surprise is not only finding a pub like this having nine handpumps but also finding all of these in use. The cask beers comprised a couple each from Cellar Head and Battle, Harvey's, 1381 from Wantsum (£3.50), Knights Tale from Canterbury Ales and Otter Amber from further afield, and a draught cider on the final pull.
