This remains true to the original concept of micropubs; i.e. NO lager or so-called craft keg beers, simply draught ale, traditional cider and a selection of wines.

The occasional unaware lager drinkers are politely directed to other public houses nearby! Equally importantly NO music, screens, fruit machines etc, just the pleasant conversation of customers who all seem to know each other. That said, strangers are made very welcome even when it's standing room only, on busy days a firkin can sell out.

Four Cask Ales covering all tastes served from hand pumps and normally 3 local ciders.

Not to be missed by discerning ale drinkers and pub goers.

Information for this venue is provided by the Ashford Folkestone & Romney Marsh Branch of CAMRA
