Pleasant hospitable country pub, originally three cottages, situated on a steep hill in a narrow lane near the picturesque village of Basted. Good range of well kept real ales including Harvey's Old Ale in season. Separate restaurant area serving home-prepared food with generous portions! Popular with walkers and cyclists. Some historic pictures and an impressive painting of a Supermarine Spitfire are on display. The garden was landscaped in 2018 and is a pleasant sun trap for outdoor diners and drinkers. in 2019 the landlord was awarded a Five Star hygiene rating by the Tonbridge and Malling Food Standards Agency. CAMRA discount 20p a pint/10p a half. May close earlier in the evening if not busy.
