Why our drinks taste different

Three things separate our taps from the rest — and none of them involve shortcuts.

"If it's not fresh, it's not on our taps."

— The team behind the bar

Straight from the barrel

Our cask ales are served fresh from the barrel, the traditional way, so you taste them as intended.

Local first

We work directly with Kent's independent brewers and cider makers, so every pint supports the region.

Always rotating

The taps change with the seasons, so there's always something new to try.

Tasting flights

Can't decide? Start with a flight.

A tasting flight of three small pours is the best way to explore the range. Not sure what you're in the mood for? The team behind the bar is always happy to recommend a pint based on your taste.

Ask at the bar

The flight

Three small pours of your choice — cask, craft, or cider. A perfect introduction to our range, and a great way to find your new favourite.

Not sure?

Tell the team what you usually drink — bitter, hoppy, malty, fruity — and they'll point you to the right pint. No judgement, just good advice.

Stay for the food

Pair your flight with a wood-fired flatbread or a plate of seasonal snacks. The kitchen serves until 8:30pm.
