Lovely local place. Staff are v friendly and dog friendly too!
Had some nice freshly made pizzas - nduja wasny too spicy and veg one had nice variety.
We had a beer flight of 3 third pints - a great way to taste the selection. Friday vibe was my favourite.
They do brewery tours too on Thursdays and Saturdays which includes a beer flight and half a pizza, plus quiz nights.

I went to this Brewery last weekend and there were only 2-3 customers.
It’s very difficult to even find the turnoff from the main Road as the sign has no light and is dark brown. Even driving down the 1/2 mile rutted track from the A274 to this brewery is difficult with no lights or directions. Pity.

Great venue, well - it has the potential to be a fantastic venue, the pizza chefs just need to improve their skills a little to make them more consistent and comfortable (speed and consistency) at making pizzas, some are big, some as small, some are far and undercooked - however - some are delicious. Once they get that nailed it’ll be a great place overall.
Now for the beers - FANTASTIC selection, all very local and delicious, highly recommend a visit for the beer!

This brewery bar offers a delightful atmosphere and boasts breathtaking views. The beers served here are excellent, although some may find them a bit pricey, especially considering that some are brewed on site. It's unfortunate that the food can be hit or miss. We had a great experience with their pizzas on our previous visit, but when we stopped by this weekend, they weren't serving any food, leaving our hungry children disappointed. Additionally, the lack of signposts from the main road makes it challenging to locate the bar. The branding can be somewhat confusing, as there are various references to 'Angels and Demons' on the glassware, while the signs bear the name Mccanns. It would be beneficial if the establishment had a more distinct and unified identity. Nevertheless, we're eagerly looking forward to returning when their new restaurant opens. Overall, we highly recommend paying a visit.

Popped in to see what has been done to the oast, it has been turned into a very well done tap room. As of this Saturday gone there were 10 real ales on offer from a session beer at 3.8% to one at 6.8%.
There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, with a nice view towards Tenterden.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
As it's only been open a couple of weeks it is still not very busy, there were about 20 people sitting outside, with plenty of room.
We noted they do quiz nights and have live music.
As this is only a 15 walk we will be back to sample more beer and have a freshly cooked pizza.
There is also a large car park.
