Goachers Light and Shepherd Neame Master Brew on when I visited. 2 room bar with one room for darts. In the main bar area there is a real fire and bar billiards. Situated in a lovely village with many old buildings and cottages. Can be smokey, but the pub is used by the locals who are friendly. There is a restaurant in a separate room
