A Tonbridge pub has been acclaimed for the quality of its real ale.

Members of the town’s Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch have listed the Humphrey Bean in the Good Beer Guide 2016.

They chose the High Street venue following regular visits to check on the quality of real ales on offer. Members also took into account customer service, decoration and overall atmosphere.

A CAMRA spokesman said: “The Humphrey Bean deserves its place in the Good Beer Guide 2016.

“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely to be of an equally high standard.”

The pub’s manager, James Harris, said: “I am delighted that The Humphrey Bean has been recognised for the quality of its real ales by CAMRA members.

“We offer our customers an excellent range of real ales at all times, including those from regional brewers and microbrewers, as well as hosting our own beer festivals.

“Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the real ales on offer are kept in first-class condition at all times and the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”
