A wedge-shaped street-corner local off the Tonbridge Road, dating from 1857, it was originally called the Cradle and Coffin! There are no noisy machines to ruin the art of conversation in this friendly pub. Shove ha'penny and cribbage are played. Some fishing and shooting paraphenalia are displayed in cabinets on the wall. Acquired by local brewers Isherwood, Stacey & Foster it was later taken over by Fremlins in 1958. No car park but free 2 hour street parking.

Information for this venue is provided by the Maidstone & Mid Kent Branch of CAMRA
