Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Plough Inn
Fine old village inn with a very traditional interior, but in reasonable weather in coronavirus Britain most of the customers were out in the side / rear beer garden (with some additional timber benches out front too). As a Shepherd Neame house, it was no surprise to Master Brew, Whitstable Bay Pale (£4.40) and Spitfire available from three of the four handpumps, but the quality was fine. However, my lasting memory of this pub will be the African grey parrot in a cage near the entrance which has a remarkable range of pub patter, including both "Hello" and "Goodbye" in a range of male and female voices and having ridiculously accurate human laughter off to a tee.

A Victorian village pub dating from around 1870, The Plough is today a quaint Shephard and Neame house just a little way off the A2. It has a large car park, a garden and an outside terrace with tables and benches. There is a small main bar with a low ceiling, inglenook, exposed timbers and so on. There is a parrot in a cage, looking very sad and frankly out of place. There is an even smaller bar laid out for diners. Both bars have a mix of flag and carpeted floors. They serve good pub food and have a daily specials board. It's atmospheric, welcoming and, apart from the parrot, agreeable, while the background music was actually quite pleasant. Four ales on, all Sheps - I had Late Red, which was in perfect condition. It's a little out of the way but well worth finding for a decent pint and a good value meal.

Lovely country pub with Inglenook and Beams. Food was really good, reasonably priced and nicely presented. The chef looked as if he (or she?) took pride in their food. We visited at 1.00 on a bank holiday Monday and even though there is no passing traffic the tables appeared to be near enough fully booked so pre booking is advisable. We were not pressured to order and were the last to leave at well gone closing time (3.00)but on no occasion were we hassled to leave even though all the doors had been locked by the time we left! Can highly recommend this pub.
