See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Attractive white weatherboarded one bar pub close to the River Darenth and the village War Memorial. Internally a cosy, country pub-style atmosphere pervades while additional outside seating is provided with wooden benches to the front and a covered extension to the side. Very popular with walkers and visitors drawn to this charming village located in the Kent Downs AONB. Note the mannequin dressed as a country yokel in the display case at the front of the pub (or was it one of the customers?) believed to resemble an ostler. This Ostler box is believed to be the only one of its kind left. The Ostler would sit in this box & receive customers' horses. Messages and beer would be passed to him through an internal window.
