Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bowl Inn
Fine country pub, just a few minutes from the busy A20 but seemingly miles away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Usually three or four real ales on - and today's pint of Whitstable East India Pale Ale was in excellent condition (as the beers always are here). Full of nice touches, including the small external clock for those sitting on the wooden benches out the front.

A group of us have taken to popping in here once a month after a monthly social event in nearby Lenham. The beer's good - you don't see Ringwood in many places in Kent. The bar staff are friendly, and they do a good pickled egg.
But being in the middle of nowhere you'd not think it was a "locals pub" - you can always spot a "local pub for local people" because the requlars are sprawled all over the bar making it very difficult (if not physically impossible) for anyone else to get to the bar. I'll give it one more try, but I'm fed up with struggling to get near to the bar. There's never anyone else wanting to be served, just a seemingly constant heap of people propping up the bar so you can't get there.
