A solid, traditional affair that's being serving up Shepherd Neame brews for a good few years now. Don't come here expecting ahead-of-the-curve pub thinking, but if what you're after is somewhere that sticks to the basics, then give it a look. It's not the largest of pubs, and what with the offices of UNISON just across the road, it's rarely without customers. And one other thing: the titular Mabel is - allegedly - an ex-landlady who is said to haunt the pub (whether she still collects empties is not recorded).
