The pub closed, date unknown and has gone through as series or transformations as different restaurants over the time, it being the Embassy in 2012, the Z'bra in 2015 and the D'Luxx from November 2015 onwards.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.
