The Old Eden, Edenbridge

The only reason this pub's score is the lowest in the village is its history: clearly used to be a cold lager and hot heads pub; the latter now dispersed up the road. Now the best pub in Edenbrige by far. Just landed here after The King and Queen and Old Crown, checking out the local pubs after moving here at the weekend. Went to the Wheatsheaf on Sat too.

Good range (five on handpump) of well-kept beers, friendly staff, low hum of blokey chat, small fire in the grate and a clean and tidy, old-fashioned English village pub look.

Don't look at the score, look at the most recent reviews, they're all bang on (apart from price quibbles - might be more for a pint here but worth every penny.)

Definitely worth a stop, even a small diversion.
