The last example in Sevenoaks of a two bar back street local and the only remaining pub in the St Johns area of the town. The saloon bar was originally the sergeants mess for the local barracks and is considerably older than the public bar, hence the pub's name. Inside it has benefited from a refurbishment in the Spring of 2016. Westons Old Rosie cider on hand pump may be rotated with another during the course of the year. The three changing beers are sourced from the Greene King approved list where the likes of Adnams, Bath Ales, St Austell and Titanic may be found. Also an unusual ale may appear under a collaboration scheme with a guest brewer e.g. Penpont brewery.
