The South Park Tap, Sevenoaks

Visited 22/07/26 Five handpumps here, three dispensing on my visit, Larkins Traditional, Tonbridge Traditional and the Pardoner's Ale from Canterbury Ales, a fruity pale ale. Only Stella on tap! Several ciders available from boxes in the fridge in the rear right-hand corner. Glass fronted venue, bare boarded with the bar counter in the rear left-hand corner. A couple of tall tables with tall unbacked stools and then a couple of mini-church pews serving small tables with small stools the other side thereof. There are a couple of tall stools at the smaller side of the bar counter. No screens, sound provided by a radio channel. There is a small inside seating area at the rear down a couple of steps. Indeed, there is a very small, covered area at the back that provides seating for at most a couple of customers just outside the lavatory. Thought this venue was a gem, small quaint and with practically no keg beer and just cask and still ciders, the ones sampled by me in excellent nick.

Relatively new micro-pub in a side street but very close to the town centre. Usual sort of arrangement, with a limited amount of mismatched semi-traditional furniture and unfussy decoration in the bar and small, dark room down a few stairs at the back. Compact counter with five handpumps, three of which were pouring Tonbridge Coppernob, Long Man's Best Bitter and the single-hop Ernest from Canterbury Ales (£5.00). A selection of boxed ciders are also available from the fridge.
