Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Long Hop

Located directly across the A2 from the Grove cricket ground, hence the name... Anyway, it may well pre-date that facility since the rear part of the partly split-level bar area appears quite old (with a low ceiling and some exposed timbers). Both levels are also lightly subdivided, so there are various different seating areas to choose from. Two real ales available from the four handpumps: Shepherd Neame's Master Brew and Fine Light from Goacher's (£4.20, and in good form).

Situated at the far west of Sittingbourne, this is a quiet local with a friendly owner.

There is a single room and a single real ale, which was Master Brew on our late Wednesday evening visit.

Has fairly restricted opening hours from 4-10 at present.

A comfortable, friendly pub in the old traditional sense. A few locals, a couple of dogs, a governor and landlady who will chat amiably. Comfortable grub, agreeable company, nice pub.

E TA left this review about The Long Hop

Originally the Tanners' Arms, then The British Queen, the Long Hop is a traditional ale pub on the outskirts of Sittingbourne, on the A2 dating back to the 1840s and retaining much of its character. It has 2 small bars at the front and feels a bit gloomy on entry, but you soon get used to it and it starts to feel comfortable. Formerly a Style and Winch house, it was taken over by Courage who, I think, still own it. Three ales on, all very well kept, a mature clientele, no idiots allowed in - certainyl one of Sittingbourne's best pubs and well worth a visit on any occasion.
