This down-to-earth pub and renowned local music venue has featured live music for over 50 years. The large L-shaped bar and stage are surrounded by music posters, a large mirror and long bench seating. Up to four real ales are on offer, principally from Kent microbreweries. Real cider, from Kent cider makers, is available from time to time. On Wednesday, good-value food is served in the evening. Charity quizzes are held periodically. To the rear there is a pleasant beer garden. The pub is easily accessible by bus and car parking is available nearby. The pub can open earlier by prior arrangement.
