What's On
Quiz Wednesday, music Friday, roast Sunday — plus nights we keep for Kent beer, gin, and the odd murder in the snug.
Every week
Friday music
Every Friday, 8:30pm
One act, small stage, bar still serving. Folk, blues, a songwriter who stays for a pint after. Free in. No tickets, no fuss.
Sunday roast
Every Sunday, 12pm to 6pm
Four meats or the nut roast. Dripping potatoes, veg from Tenterden, Yorkshire puddings the size of your fist, gravy Helen won't write down. We sell out. Book by Friday if you can.
