Ale house, opened March 2016 in a lovely 15th century half-timbered building, part of the historic Hospital of St John. The Thomas Tallis Alehouse serves an ever changing range of Kent beers from the cask, and a wide range of national and international beers in KeyKeg, bottles and cans. The pub offers over 30 beers at any one time, of which two or three are from the cask. 3 or 4 locally produced ciders are served.

There are 2 rooms at the front, one with a large communal table, the other with a log burning stove. There is a rear snug with armchairs and sofa. Generally a seat/table service applies here. The cask ales and ciders are served under gravity dispense from a temperature controlled cellar room at the back. There is an attractive outside seating area on the street.

Conversion

The pub is in a lovely C15 half-timbered building, part of the historic Hospital of St John and Grade II-listed. There are two rooms at the front, one with a log-burning stove, separated by a low doorway. The rear snug has chairs and a sofa. It has in the past been a restaurant and a shop and time and thought has gone into its current pub incarnation to create a lovely, welcoming space.
