Why am I here?

@Catogrande yep, there is a Cricketers arms in Ockley. Might need to check it out.
While I have diverted to pub talk, found an absolute cracker in the High Weald near where I was riding in that event. Bit of a fluke, just selected closest nearby with a good rating on the GPG app. Coach and Horses near Danehill. If ever in that area it is well worth a detour.
Danehill? That's getting dangerously close to Royal Tunbridge Wells chap. Be sure to be on your best behaviour.
I am careful to stay on the peasants side of the city walls.

@Crucial If you do make it this far, appears there might be some decent tracks.
A few good spots for a drink too. Compasses is my local, good pub actually with a large outside area, pretty decent food and a great chippy across the road.
The Tap in The Pantiles would be a good spot to check out if you want to get all jazzy with your beer.
The Black Horse in Pembury is a great spot for food (Sunday Carvery) and a drink.
Don't bother with Sankeys unless you have a real hankering for Seafood, it's well overpriced - as is The Black Pig which would be a decent spot otherwise.
Cassidy's is a crappy, cheap pub and it's great for watching rugby - cheep booze and can bring your own food in from anywhere as they don't serve any.

Any other good reason to visit?
TBH as the wife and I both work in London we use our weekends as much as possible to get away from large numbers of people and therefore avoid towns of any size.
A village pub with a few village idiots is more appealing than a town full of them. -

Was my old local many years ago. I still pop in whenever visiting friends in Pembury. Glad you didn't mention the Camden....

@Catogrande I spend far too much time in Pitcher & Piano and Bar & Grill to make it the Camden.

@Bones I was at a friend's birthday party in Pembury and one of my old mates had gone out to lunch in TW and went into the P&P and came back telling us tales of people getting very loudly pissed at 1.30 in the arvo. Mine host said that we may well see some of these guys again and sure enough at about 10pm a bunch of them came in absolutely arseholed and my mate just said "Yep. This was that lot".
You're not about 6'2", significantly overweight with ginger hair and beard and swear a lot are you?

@Catogrande 3 out of 5 ain't bad?
