FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Is it just beer that you sell? No, absolutely not. We sell a great range of wine from small, sustainably minded producers and suppliers, including some fantastic orange wines and natural wines alongside your usual suspects. We’ve also got a fantastic Gin range, with over 30 available from local distilleries and one of the best Whisky & Bourbon ranges in the area with over 40 carefully curated drams on the shelves. We also have a great range of soft drinks and plenty of non-alcoholic options (beer, spirits and wine) available too.

How many beers do you sell? It varies slightly but we’ve always got 30 beers and ciders on tap and usually around 150 in the fridges. We specialise in sourcing the best in the UK beer scene alongside a great range of Belgian beer too.

Do you have a list of the beers you sell? Yes we do. You can check out our live tap list to see what’s pouring right now as well asour full drinks menu here on our menus page.

Are you a pub or a cafe? A bit of both. We are definitely a pub at heart but we take a lot of inspiration from European bars and cafes too.

Do you serve food? Yes, you can check out our menus here. We serve food all day until 10pm (9pm Sundays).

Can we book a table or an area for a group of people? You certainly can - you can book a table online for either Tunbridge Wells or Tonbridge - we also take larger bookings for birthdays, leaving do’s, celebrations and more. Feel free to pop us an email to enquire further!

What’s the atmosphere like? We’re welcoming to everyone - we don’t have any hang ups and we want to share our love of what we do with you and anyone else who is interested! Friendly, warm and fun is our thing. We’re not a loud, late night venue (but we are open until midnight at the weekends!) - but we are somewhere to have some great drinks and some tasty snacks with friends and loved ones.

Do you do any community focussed events? We love to engage and work with our local community. We’re always happy to host events, you can get in touch with us here if you’ve something you’d like to partner or host with us. We also host our own book club, quiz and a run club too!

We regularly showcase the latest releases and our favourite breweries with tap takeovers in the pubs as well as hosting tasting events and more in the pubs too. You can find out everything on our events page.

Are you kid friendly? We do allow children in, but we do ask that they are seated and kept with you whilst you’re visiting. We have a selection of board games and we’ll happily grab some pens and paper to keep the little ones entertained so you can enjoy some ‘adult time’. But please, no kids running around (it doesn’t work too well with us carrying plates of food or trays of glasses and we don’t want our team, customers or your little ones to end up in an accident!) Please note we do not have high chairs.

Are you dog friendly? Yes we are, and the same rules apply as to dogs as to children! Dogs should be with you and on a lead and under control. Much like adults who make too much noise and shout and whatnot, we also ask that Dogs are respectful of others - any unruly dogs may be asked (politely) to go for a walk to cool off.
