A rather disappointing pub given the name and the fact it’s a Sheps pub. As with the eponymous beer, it’s referred to as Nun’s Delight, but it wasn’t a particularly delightful visit. Ales on were Bishop’s Finger, Masterbrew and Creekside, none of them in great condition. The keg selection was Whitstable Bay, Spitfire, Strongbow, Moretti and Guinness. The young female staff were pretty apathetic, and the request to order and pay online was just irritating. Maybe I caught them on a bad day

The compact façade and interior of this Shepherd Neame pub have both been refurbished but the decor is still quite traditional although the furniture is modern in style. Several sports TVs. Extra seating at a few small tables out on the pavement and in the reasonable patio beer garden out back. Just two of four handpumps in use on this visit, offering Master Brew and Whitstable Bay Pale, with the beer after which the pub is named still not back in production after the coronavirus lockdown.

A small Shepherd Neame pub with a stripped back plain interior; nothing special but does the job. Only Spitfire available at time of visit.
