Old Worlde Pub with eclectic interior bang in the Center of quaint old Downe home of Charles Darwin.
Lovely warm welcome from charming young bar team. Great service and dap hands at pulling a number of pints of Harvey's Bitter. The beer is exceptionally well cellared as you might expect from Camra Pub of The Year 2014.
Jackie greeted us as old regulars as we had thoughtful pre ordered lunches. Glad we did for as soon as paid wooooosh out they came.
Dear reader these various dishes were exceptional - fresh, varied and home cooked meats and veg - perfectly reasonable prices in todays market - we were all surprised and delighted.
Expressing our thanks to the team on departure was a pleasure.
PS Good Parking Too
PPS Cheap ale Tuesday & Wednesday (why did we go Thursday?? 😂)
Entered into our club "Pub of The Year" so we shall see.
We ate in the outside marquee.
Looks like a nice country restaurant as well in the pub so well worth a visit and road test the menu.

Further to my original review below I went back and had lunch, the ham sandwich was immense. Excellent home cured ham and lots of it. You won’t leave hear hungry!

Great pub in Downe, very friendly owners and nice drinks to quench the thirst. I’ve not eaten here yet but will do soon.

Very friendly pub and great staff. Popped in by chance and not disappointed. Sausage & mash (great tasting sausages and worth 5 stars) and a prawn baguette (would have liked the choice brown bread).
