Traditional ales Brewed by craftsmen for connoisseurs

About Us

We are often described as a small community based pub that over the years has developed a warm friendly atmosphere, and is known for welcoming visitors.  In fact we have a sign in our bar that reads "There are no strangers here, only friends that have not yet met "We are a pub that serves good, homemade specials and have no pretensions of becoming a restaurant that serves beer.

Our cask ales are always served at their best as Doug takes great pride in keeping his beers in peak condition and is undertaking a Master of Beer course.

There is also a weekly quiz night and charity nights in aid of Kent Air Ambulance, live music on occasions and a long standing link with the Hartley Morris Men.
