Towards the Buckland end of London Road, this is one of few remaining former Gardners of Ash then Tomson & Wotton pubs in Dover, now privately owned.
Several steps lead up to a route to the garden and the (rare) upwards sloping outdoor skittle alley, alleged to flummox away teams.
The large trophy cabinet boasts of the pub's successes.
