Traditional pub, which reverted to its previous name after being taken over in the early 2000s by Kentish brewer Shepherd Neame, after nearly 20 years as the Pheasant & Firkin. Not big inside, traditional decor, mix of after-work custom. Three real ales from the Shepherd Neame range. Sports from BT and Sky. Darts. Pull-down benches on the pavement for smokers.
