Gravesend's first micropub, open since September 2014.

At least four gravity-drawn real ales straight from the stillage, changing constantly, like a rolling beer festival. No bar to queue at, no television, no fruit machines: one small room, good beer, and people talking to each other.

Cask, keg, cider and a whisky shelf. What is on today is chalked on the boards below, and on the wall inside.
