Built in the 13th century, this ale house/restaurant retains many of its original features. Inside and out, the quirky furniture and collectable items, a product of the present incumbents imagination!, provide a welcoming environment for a drink or a meal. Open fires and traditional wood furniture complete the picture.

You can enjoy your drink at the back in the pub's sun-trap courtyard garden or seated at the front watching the town's life goes by.

Two ales are served by handpull. Kent ales feature with the occasional guest ale from outside Kent.

Occasional events are held including acoustic music, supper clubs and jazz & cocktail evenings.Historic England Entry: 1329930
