| I popped into this pub the other day for a recce before gay Wednesday night. I can honestly say what a cracking little local. It must be Royal Tunbridge Wells best kept secret. The selection of real ales was excellent and kept to a high standard. The staff were very welcoming, knowledgeable and experienced (especially the guy with the gay hair cut, sorry don’t know your name). The complimentary food on the bar, supplied by the very hospitable locals was a very nice touch and showed a pub with a good sense of community and tradition. There was a wide spectrum of people from all ages and background with whom to talk. My friends and I shall definitely be returning to this pub again. Thank you, keep up the good work, it was a real pleasure. flopsyboy - 28 Apr 2012 14:08 |
| This really is a special place to go for a good honest ale and zesty banter. The manager looks like a football thug but is infact a gentleman and a true professional and is eternally attentive. As I said the beer is fantastic and is obviously kept well and looked after in the cellar. What a joy to find a gem in the middle of a pretentious town where there seems to be no interest in getting arseh***d and insulting other people. The cutest Jack Russell meets you and loves your leg. There's a lovely old dear who will sing to you (even if you don't ask her) and a rather serious gentleman who puts the most fantastic reggae on the juke box and stares out of the window muttering things about his mum. You must experience this modern day tavern - the world needs more establishments like this. I'm going back there next Wednesday evening - it's Gay Night! Hail to Ale! homoforaday - 27 Apr 2012 15:18 |
| A really good pub, packed with character and characters, with the cutest little Jack Russell Terrier we've seen in a long time. Our main crib was that the beer was a little tired - surprisingly, considering the number of people in the pub. Would definitely go back again, though. E.L.Wisty - 2 Feb 2012 09:40 |
| Unlike the previous visit the pub was almost empty this time. The beer was still of the highest standard however and the barman was pleasant. There was a real fire on as well which was most welcome! The three ales available were Landlord, Harvey's Sussex and Skinners. All three were sampled! outtamehead - 26 Jan 2012 06:12 |
| Made a few trips here after the 4 day cricket match recently. Three real ales on- Harvey's Sussex Bitter, Landlord and Hopback Summer Lightning. Difficult to think of better choices! The pub was full and lively. Definately a traditional English local pub. outtamehead - 13 Jun 2011 17:29 |
