The best way to serve proper beer in my opinion. Very rare these days, the only other pub I've seen it done like that is the Ringlestone Arms.


Anyways, what and where is this?

You`ve got it Stuart, The Mounted Rifleman, Luddenham. Apparently the Landlord took your order and disappeared down to the cellar where the drinks were dispensed directly from the barrels, then reappeared at a serving hatch on the ground floor. More detail below -

Used to be the Mounted Rifleman, I believe in or near Oare/back of Teynham way somewhere? It was unusual because there was no bar as such. Drinks were served through a serving hatch?

Yes, it WAS a pub. A very unusual one.

I don't recognise it.  Was it or is it a pub?

You have it Diapason, well done. This place is usually only open on Sundays and is just past the church at Cobham.

Yes, sorry Lutonman - I forgot there was a Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Well area.


Heading for North West Kent now :)
