The Kings Head, Sittingbourne

The Kings Head is an L-shaped pub with an L-shaped bar counter that faces the entrance from the right and towards the front where there is seating and a dartboard that was hosting a league match, as were many pubs during my recent crawl of the area. Wandering around I spotted a pool table and a second dartboard. There was some background music coming from the jukebox and on the back bar is a large fish tank, with a few skulls in for decoration which was apt with my visit being just before Halloween. Standard keg was available alongside Cruzcampo and the hand pump was drawing Tonbridge Brewery’s Countryman. This is a decent boozer for the locals.

Corner pub on the edge of town, with the L-shaped layout you would expect. Simply furnished and plainly decorated, but it certainly benefits from some large windows on two sides. Also has a basic patio beer garden. Much to my surprise, not only was one of the two handpumps in use, but the Tonbridge Coppernob (£3.50) was in fine condition.
