Pretty country pub with a huge garden
Sheps ale always in top condition (kept by a man who used to sell real ale for a living) in a beamy bar where you do not feel you are intruding on the diners,
though you can eat in the bar or the restaurant next door a selection of well priced pub grub and bar snacks
This is the one I head for when in the area..........

I paid this one a quick visit 2 weeks back en route to pick a friend up from Tonbridge station and having arrived uncharacteristically early. It is only a few miles' drive from said dull town and well worth it to get away from the limited delights it offers pub-wise.

Only having had the briefest of halves (Spitfire) in a 10-minute stay, I am far from the most qualified of BITE users to comment on the pub's wares in detail. That said, for the record, what I found was a spacious, welcoming, pub which clearly had an accent on food (there were a few punters already in sampling the grub and it was only 12:15PM), but nevertheless the ale (all Sheps of course being a tied establishment), was in fine condition. Service was pleasant enough at the bar, and although slightly incongruous given the tile-hung Kentish country exterior, the interior decor was only vaguely traditional; I recall much pine, glassy doors and wood flooring which seemed to be tipping a nod to the more contemporary restaurant look.

I remain unaware of what the significance of the pub's unusual title is. One can only trust that blackbirds, a bush and thrush can be found locally (well, maybe not the latter eh?!?!).
