| Msprunt - that should of course be Stowford Press Cider. My stepfather is partial to cider and usually finds there's not much option other than Strongbow. This one he did appreciate. zorrodp - 18 Sep 2008 17:36 |
| 4 of us stopped for a drink, about 4 miles into a circular walk from Tonbridge, last Sunday afternoon. Although I've been to and through Penshurst many times either walking or for the Craft Fair in the grounds of Penshurst Place, I'd never been to the pub. The Harveys Best Bitter, Stowford Press Bitter, and a glass of rioja all went down well though the drinks did seem a bit pricey. We didn't have any food, but from what we could see from nearby tables people were enjoying themselves. zorrodp - 18 Sep 2008 17:33 |
| A very nice building and some decent beers. Worth making the trip to. There's a carpark and seating tables around the back overlooking fields. Folkey - 29 May 2008 12:22 |
| A beautiful village with gorgeous half timbered Tudor houses and an ancient churchyard - but this pub ever so slightly wastes these natural advantages with its kaleidoscopic carpet and general air of worn fatigue. The tables out front would be well placed if people were disallowed from stationing their people carriers right in front of them. Overdue a revamp - but when it comes, I hope they don't overdo it.

| Agree with the the previous correspondent's description of the pub. I didn't eat here but enjoyed one of the two Westerham Brewery's beers on offer. The other beers on offer were Shepherd Neame's Master Brew and the ubiquitous London Pride. So all in all a good choice of 3 local and 1 national ales. Found the staff to be very attentive and helpful. Would definitely consider eating here, prices notwithstanding. I think that before you step inside you'd realise this place wouldn't be cheap! coulsdoncrawler - 9 Apr 2007 16:07 |
