    Pleasant pub, lots of activities (bands etc). Unfortunately we sat near a very loud table of ladies and had to move in. No coffee available at 8.45

    Nice place. A four hundred year old pub. The beer is a reasonable price. Saw the menu, it's like a traditional old fashioned style menu, could do with updating for more healthy style food. Lovely atmosphere here with a little entertainment on certain days.

    Lovely little local country pub with live music and a fantastic beer garden. Nice staff, local Kent brewery Shepherd Neame serving their award-winning and very popular ales and beers. Did not try the food so cannot comment. Live music quite often here, from jam nights to bands playing everything from Indie rock to blues and jazz, so there is something for everyone. Met a lovely couple too, also music lovers, and just got on chatting - this is a friendly place with lovely people, easy to get to just off the A21.

    Friendly staff and good beer from a Kent brewery. The beer garden is fantastic with outdoor screens for sport. Would recommend a visit.

    I didn't find the pub very welcoming and nothing from today's visit made me think any differently. The pub was fairly quiet and apart from saying a few words of greeting I may as well have not been there. I know I'm rather unconventional but I'm not unfriendly and I'm polite. It wouldn't hurt for the staff to be a bit warmer to an occasional visitor

    Traditional village pub offering a fabulous service & atmosphere. Highly recommend! Totally welcoming and looked after my mum when she was having car troubles near by. Thanks again for all your help.

    I have a feeling this pub might be under new management. A warm welcome given, efficient service. Very nice food, and the pub has a nice atmosphere too. I recommend. We'll definitely be back

    Booked a table for the World Cup, 24 hours later they decided to cancel my booking. Lady who took my booking was polite friendly (we even spoke about the booking being specially for the World Cup) and was told it was fine. Lady who cancelled my booking spoke down at me, had no reasoning for cancelling my table other than “we just don’t do it” and “reserving a table of 7 might pee off the regulars”.

    Very limited choice of mains. Seems to offer lots of tapas but confusing to order. Not impressed with some of the bar staff as seemed more interested in their mobile phone than serving me at the bar. Waited for a couple of minutes in full view but then decided to go elsewhere. Was served a cloudy pint of ale, which in fairness was changed when I mentioned it, but should I have needed to mention it? Don't think I will be returning any time soon.
