Hatch

The main building of this free house dates from the 17^th century and was once part of a workhouse. There is a single L-shaped bar with seating in the main bar area, a secluded quieter area to one side and an additional room at the rear which can be used for functions, all furnished in a mish-mash of styles. There are also several tables in front of the pub and a courtyard to the rear. Assorted games, including shove halfpenny and cribbage boards, are available. Above the fireplace here, on a beam, can be seen the former name of the pub, the Foresters Arms. It was in 1991 that the name was changed to the Hatch. The pub was a Shepherd Neame pub (and before that Friary Meux and then a free house) before the current landlord opened it as a free house again, after a refurbishment, in October 2017. There will be between one and three beers available which are likely to be from small breweries, one of which may be Redgate Ale from Godstone Brewery, which is brewed for the pub. Dogs are welcome and there is free WiFi, a monthly quiz and a TV for terrestrial sports. The closing time may vary depending on custom.
