Thank you, DTT
I found that one early on but it looked so different, I discounted it.
Next one up later.
The Gardeners Arms now.

Well done, JW. Spot on. It has very good reviews I understand, although have not visited it myself.
Over to you.

Is it the Gardeners Arms, Higham? Similar, but many changes to the exterior if it is?

Gads Hill area? I've checked some pubs in that area but not found the right one, so not sure if I'm in the right area.

Time for a clue, the area has literary connections.

Thanks Johnfilmer, it is certainly a busy area these days. It was the clue about the roads and corkscrew that gave me the biggest hint.
Anyway, on the theme of pubs where is this? It is still trading, and is now a Sheps pub. No clues just yet.

Well done DTT, Quarry Wood it is.
There was a cheap canteen style restaurant in one of the buildings (1973 ish). A workmate and I could “just” make Snodland to there and back with indigestion.
The original start to the M20 was like driving down a corkscrew onto the coast bound lane.

It is Quarry Wood Industrial Estate, near the RBL village. The site was Preston Hall Hospital I would guess.
DTT. I found it by guessing the general area and then looking at old-maps.co.uk for 1936.
