This is a comfortable micro, bigger inside than you'd expect from the street. 5 ales are brought out from the cool room, though as usual, this leads to a pretty lifeless looking pint. Having said that, prices are keen and the beer's perfectly fine and there's a good buzz of conversation around the room. Worth a look-in if you're in the vicinity.

Good decent sized micropub.Friendly barman.7 cask beers and six from Kent which is not a favourite county of mine for beers.Tried two the Tonbridge was brown and tasty but the Larkins porter was a bit tired.I now see that they offer a Camra discount,not offered to me but 20p wouldnt make much of a difference as the beer was reasonably priced.

A shop conversion micro pub which is almost two rooms, the front area in the window being accessed via an opening from the rear bar area. Framed prints and mirrors on the walls and a couple of high shelves containing various bits and bobs. Larger than many micros, there is plenty of table seating as well as a drinking ledge on a side wall.
Beer boards by the bar listing the ales, ciders and also Kentish wines. All served on gravity from a temperature controlled room.
Beers were a branded house session bitter, provenance unknown, Larkins Pale, Wantsum Black Pig Porter, Nelson Trafalgar and two from Kent Brewery, Cobnut and Pale. Various ciders with strength up to 8% (Biddenden Dry or Medium, Monks Delight, Chiddingstone, a Perry and a few fruit flavoured options.
The place was friendly and welcoming and is definitely worth a visit. NB 20/10p CAMRA discount on the cask ales.
