Whilst until recently (2021) sporting a Shepherd Neame hanging sign this pub is no longer tied to the brewery since a period of closure and conversion of upstairs accommodation for residential use. Close to the railway station and bus interchange, actually built in the middle of a five road roundabout. Late Victorian detached building with many fine, intact features. A very convenient stopping point for anyone coming/going via the nearby bus/rail services. Cream and light green pastel decoration. Worn wooden board flooring with coloured floor tiles around the immediate "stand at the bar" area. Small rear courtyard and smoking area. May stay open later on Friday and Saturday nights. Regular karaoke and live music nights. One handpump for cask ale on the bar counter. Auction sign visible on the premises in July 2021.
