Cosy pub just to the east end of the town on the site of the former Walker's Wellington Brewery. with quirky low ceilings and a relaxed atmosphere with no gaming machines and a TV that is muted. A recent extension has provided a more spacious bar, some extra seating and a tidied-up entrance. Until around the late 90s The Coke Oven, as it is known locally, had a separate entrance in Love Lane (see photo).

Daddlums (Kentish skittles) is played on most Sundays. Regular men's' darts matches on Mondays and Wednesdays and ladies darts on Thursdays in season. Annual beer festivals on August bank holiday weekend. Regular live music and open mic nights on the third Thursday of each month. Quizzes fortnightly on Tuesday nights There is a large outdoor area and small car park at the front of the pub.

Three course Sunday roasts are now available. Book a table with the pub.

Food is limited to hot snacks at present (currently suspended pending completion of the building work).
