| Sheps-love �em or hate �em (I admit to being quite a fan)-they do have some thunderingly good country pubs. The Three Horseshoes is a case in point, a typically Kentish farmhouse with weatherboarding and a catslide roof. Inside, there�s a small bar, furnished with tables, benches and all the accoutrements of pub life. The end of the bar furthest from the open fire, but heated by its own rather ornate fireplace is laid up for dining. Our visit was on a damp Thursday lunchtime during February half term: the pub was sadly quiet, a few locals and the brewery rep on official business.The food has deservedly good reputation: I had an historic steak and onion pudding, and the chicken baltis looked tempting .A family run business, everyone was most welcoming. This is the second pub that we�ve been in this year that boasts an onion competition-I suppose it �s a change from all those Geordies and their leeks. Musical entertainment is also promised, and various sporting events are recorded on the pub notice board. I am a great fan of beer served by gravity dispense �not so often seen today. Here, the Master Brew was served in this time honoured method, and was most acceptable. However, the star of the session was the Late Red (on handpump). I�m very fond of this beer,with a luscious maltiness , backed up by the hops, which I understand are the celebrated Cascades, grown in this parish for Sheps ,by a local grower. The pub seems to be as one with the rest of this attractive village, as if it has always been there, as I expect it has. 8/10 wittenden - 18 Feb 2010 23:15 |
| Good old fashioned 17th c pub with no piped music and a policy of no mobile phones. A Sheps pub with 2 hand casks and at least one gravity behind the bar. Serves food. A splendid place. SilkTork - 28 Feb 2009 22:40 |
| Sadly I live over a hundred miles away fron this pub but I've managed to get here twice now. In its shape and size I guess its a left over from a different era. It's small but when brilliantly run as this pub is the size adds to the charm of the place. I'm so taken with the place that it would be one of my ten pubs I would take to heaven with me. The beer was immaculate and as said below from the barrel (an increasing rarity). The food is home made (not homecooked) and was quite beautiful. We were invited to take part in the pop quiz and made to feel really welcome. If you are ever driving back from Canterbury or dover or staying in one of the lodges at Dunkirk give this rural gem a go. They even forgave me for dropping a glass. AndySk - 26 Oct 2006 02:24 |
| Visited 13 May 06. Once again, this was a random grab from the GBG, and once again came up trumps. This is a pretty Shepherd Neame pub, tucked away in the garden of England. Beer is available direct from the cask. We had Early Spring, which was in fabulous condition. The bar is quite tiny, but as it was late afternoon, was not a problem. The drinking areas are quaint, and well decorated. However as it was a sunny day we used the small beer garden. this was as equally quaint, comprising 4 usual beer garden style tables, and one large table that appeared to be an old telephone cable holder. All this would normally generate a good rating, but the one cloud, was that the bar lady was not exactly welcoming. Maybe she was having an off day. Having said that, I still think this pub is worth a visit. cackgsy - 14 May 2006 09:25 |
