A basic old town pub beside the Parish Church near the river Kent that is appreciated for nurturing its beer-loving community of regulars and tourists. Something of a time warp, visitors enjoy the seasonal real fires while engaging with local characters and their dogs. Up to six cask beers and a few keg lines. Weekly quiz in winter and occasional live music. The monthly karaoke is proving very popular.

Food served seasonally according to demand so check social media for times.

Historic Interest

Built 1741 for Thomas Barker, church sexton and one of a handful of remaining pubs in England to be built on consecrated land. Has three rooms, including a tiny snug. The central lobby still has its off-sales hatch and a piece of Victorian bench seating in the bar room. There was a small draught screen affixed to the counter which was removed about 30 years ago. The bar walls are half panelled. The snug has a partition wall on the bar side, an old hatch, old half panelled walls. On the external windows in the lounge bar are various inscriptions - one is dated 1824.
