I have spent many a happy hour, since 1975, in this public house, sampling the Shepherd Neame brews from Britain's oldest brewery (1698); indeed, my tankard lived here for a while, being produced as I walked through the door. Sadly, I have not visited in just over two years; I see that the pub is currently "to let", but I'm sure that the two facts are not connected. Shepherd Neame's success story relates to their "Spitfire" ale, brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "Battle of Britain"; with some topical advertisements along the way. Some 20 years on, this beer goes from strength to strength, although the gravity has remained unchanged!
