Foresters Arms, Tonbridge

David Walton left this review about Foresters Arms

Visited 09/02/26. Visited previously on 01/12/21.

Cask amounted to two pumps dispensing Whitstable Bay Pale Ale and one dispensing Master Brew with three pumps unclipped. Keg comprised Orchard View cider, Spitfire lager and Bear Osland East Coast Pale Ale all from SN, then Hurlimann lager, Cruz and Guinness.

Quirky Shepherd Neame venue a short walk from the town centre. It is U shaped with the bar counter providing service on three sides, the front side just inside the entrance from the busy main road outside. There is a small amount of seating on astroturf out the front. The left-hand side is bare boarded with a couple of booth tables in the front windows, then regular tables on the left-hand wall with a pool table just before the entrance to the kitchen at rear. There is a door to a rear outside but well covered beer garden. Apart from the bare board skirt around the other side of the bar counter, there is a tiled section at the front of the right-hand side housing some tall tables, a dart board, log burner, and a couple of old school arcade machines. There is another pool table at the rear of the right-hand side in a bare boarded area. The few in on my visit were perched on tall stools at the bar counter. No obvious TV's and a pop soundtrack. Lots of fairy lights, a strong sense of incense that I found super off-putting in a pub, and every square millimetre of the walls plastered with currency, CD covers, posters, maps and much much more. Whilst my pint of Whitstable Bay was good, found the venue super distracting on pretty much every sense.
