Website

Excellent country inn with a homely interior, vaulted ceilings, log burners and exposed timbers and brickwork. Chiddingstone, Charrington's and Turners ciders and a varied range of 4-5 mostly local ales are served straight from casks mounted in a cooled room immediately behind the bar. Good pub food is served lunch and evening from Wednesday through to Saturday, and Sunday roast. Shared platters are also available all day at the weekend. Outside there is a large garden adjacent to the car park and a shaded patio with plenty of seating to the rear of the pub. Fortnightly open mic evenings are held on Tuesdays from 7.30pm while a quiz evening is organised on alternate Wednesdays from 8pm. The pub is accessible by taking the 205 Autocar bus running between Tonbridge and Paddock Wood, alighting at the Sychem Lane bus stop at Five Oak Green, followed by a 20 minute stroll along the flat lane.
