Night Porter – Keep Things Running Smoothly Overnight with Britain's Oldest Brewer
At Shepherd Neame, we know that great service doesn't stop when the sun goes down.

Having undergone extensive refurbishment in recent years, the historic riverside retreat offers guests a luxurious experience with 21st-century comforts.
