Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Rising Sun
Attractive inn on one corner of a small village green, not far from the A20 and Brands Hatch but still feeling remote. The central bar is supplemented by various dining areas on both sides, and in such a location, being food led is almost a must. Very traditional furniture and decor in all parts. With two of the five handpumps being used, Tribute (£4.50) and Courage Best were the available cask beers.

Old style traditional pub. Welcoming staff and the grub looked nice.

An extended 18th century farmhouse style country pub / restaurant handy in pretty village near Brands Hatch. They serve an excellent range of beers including some beers from the local Millis brewery that I have only previously seen at beer festivals (namely Dartford Wobbler and Kentish Red). The comfortable interior consists of 3 rooms with no door separation and a restaurant (didn't see the menu but their NewYear's Eve “special” looked quite reasonable. One end of the pub is dominated by a magnificent inglenook fireplace although it is a shame that each section of the pub is similar in décor - it would be nice to have a bit of flagstone floor to compliment the older original features and brickwork on show. Some of the modern extended parts of the pub look a bit out of character. Very friendly and welcoming barmaid on our visit. Well worth checking out for its beer selection and possibly making an evening meal of it.
