Opened on Sunday 1st December 2019 in part of the old Wainscott Institute building on the corner of Wainscott Road and Hollywood Lane, which it shares with a large Co-op store. Originally run along the lines of a micropub as the Hop & Rye selling real ales on gravity dispense drawn in a rear chilled cellar room. It had its licence revoked in December 2020 for breach of Covid-19 rules. It has two bar rooms, each with its own bar counter. There is a small unheated smoking shelter to one side of the front paved patio area, an area that may provide fair weather seating. Re-opened Monday 21st June 2021 with its new name with real ales concentrating on Kentish local brews dispensed through 3 handpumps. A menu of sandwiches, ploughman's and platters may accompany your drink. A selection of keg, bottled and canned beers plus wines and spirits is also offered.

Current interior photographs shown are from The Hop & Rye time.
