Micropub.

A March 2016 addition to Medway's micropub scene, a friendly atmosphere with good service and excellent ales. Gravity dispensed ales and ciders from a temperature-controlled room. Good, sturdy, wooden seating with a couple of booths for more intimate conversation. The pub intends to always offer at least one Kent brewed ale.

Take away containers available for the ales and ciders.

Sun trap rear paved garden.

Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2025.
