Remote but well patronised country inn dating back to 1492. Pub takes its name from a large assortment of bottles found here during 1938, depicted in the unusual pub sign. Re-furbished internally, there are low beamed ceilings and exposed stonework. Several seating compartments off the bar add to the pub's cosy feel. The Long Room, accommodating up to 14 people, can be reserved for private functions. Good quality food is served throughout each day. Plenty of seating is available on the sunny front terrace, at tables complete with parasols. Handy for Penshurst Place. Normally one or two guest cask ales. Real cider available occasionally.

Information for this venue is provided by the West Kent Branch of CAMRA
