THE ROCK INN

Owned by Larkins, the local brewery, the Rock Inn is very much a locals pub. It has its own very strong identity, being unchanged for generations. With a lovely old uneven brick floor and irregular beams and doors, it makes no concessions to modernity. Even a bulls head on the wall- with a hook through its nose at which to toss a brass ring- has been in exactly the same position for at least fifty years. One landlord was only given the tenancy because of his height, since the headroom of the cellar door is so low!

It is a fine example of a tile hung old Kentish inn with two bars and is a very special place which confidently remains the same while everything else changes. Excellent home cooking. Sample Larkins real ale here. Larkins Brewery logo
