Old-fashioned pub by the River Darent and close to the railway viaduct. Formerly known as the Sun, the name change reflects the surname of the previous landlords rather than the viaduct, otherwise "Arches" would be more appropriate. After a period of closure, the pub reopened at the end of May 2024. The guest beer generally alternates between St Austell Proper Job and Dark Star Hophead but Kent Brewery beers may appear. Typical pub meals are now served. There are periodic live themed music events.
