The Leicester Arms, Penshurst

We have been eating here probably once a quarter for a year or two. Food reasonable, beer good, atmosphere in the pub excellent, but less so in the restaurant part (too mock- 'trad' country pub). The themed food evenings are a good idea and they do good decs at Christmas and Halloween.

However the carpets are grim and the gents diabolical. It shouldn't be too expensive to fix these.......

The Wheatsheaf, Bough Beech

We've been to The Wheatsheaf twice in the last six months and found it delightful pub.

There's a leaflet with all sorts of interesting facts about the pub; the staff are very friendly, the food excellent, the service timely and not fussy, good beer, lovely garden, wonnderful creaky floorboards and furniture that has a natural lived-in feel.

Sitting in the garden propping up the NHS, we were just surprized how busy the road was, but you soon get used to it and you wouldn't notice it at all inside.

We woudl rate this near the top of the scale.
