Comfortable 1604 pub near the historic Westgate, with an attractive suntrap garden. Bar billiards is played and a quiz, set by regular customers, is held weekly on Sunday evening. There are three changing beers, often from Kent microbreweries. Beer updates are posted on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Food is good value, with a '2 meals for £12.50' special offer on selected meals. Sporting events (not Sky) are televised unobtrusively. Good range of bottled beers, mainly from Kernel and Hopdaemon. The garden bar is open in good weather. Booking essential at busy time Friday and Saturday evenings
