The ultimate fight pub in Broadstairs, hardened drinkers only enter here
24 Mar 2010 14:37
If you like a nice intimidating atmosphere and gangs hanging around outside the pub singing and harrasing passers by this is your place

Ye Olde Leather Bottle, Northfleet
An OK pub. One of the better ones in Northfleet.
17 Jan 2010 20:27
Set to the back drop of a huge council estate this is one best avoided. Reputation locally for violence and frequented by football fans
17 Jan 2010 20:25
The Edinburgh Castle, Northfleet
A tough, rough local where hardened drinkers hang out. Avoid if possible
17 Jan 2010 20:24
Nice little local off the main road in Northfleet. A cut above the other pubs locally
17 Jan 2010 20:23
The Elephants Head, Northfleet
Best avoided as very initimidating with groups of chavs in every corner of the pub and is well known locally for all the wrong reasons. Beer limited.
17 Jan 2010 20:23
Set in the heart of a council estate this pub is quiet during the week and a friendly welcome can be assured. However when entertainment arrives, then the pub becomes totally different. Reasonable range of beers.
17 Jan 2010 20:22
Quite a few people usually hand around the outside of this pub which can be very intimidating most of the time
17 Jan 2010 20:20
Nice little urban pub. Quiet most of the time. Good friendly welcome
17 Jan 2010 20:19
Excellent pub. Best in Gravesend, Friendly well kept beers, nice beer garden in summer and welcoming bar staff. Good stuff
17 Jan 2010 20:17
A well ordered pub on a busy corner of the town. Can be noisy at weekends but during the week has the feel of a local town pub.
17 Jan 2010 20:16
Really tasteful and understated pub in the suburbs around the town centre. Friendly bar staff add to the sense of fun in this pub
17 Jan 2010 20:14
One of the town centre pubs. Deserted during the day and at night dark and intimidating. One best visited at the end of a pub crawl
17 Jan 2010 20:13
This is a real one to avoid. Terrible reputation. Poor quality beer and food, several fights have taken place there recently.
17 Jan 2010 20:09
Can be very intimidating with gangs of hardened drinkers sitting out in the streets singing. Food is not bad, but avoid real ales here
17 Jan 2010 20:08
Really noisy and intimidating. Best avoided at weekends and nightime
17 Jan 2010 20:07
Very well run pub and appealing interior and exterior. Friendly bar staff and good food and beer
17 Jan 2010 20:06
Very well run pub. Can kick off at the weekend but usually dealt with quickly. Good staff and reasonable prices
17 Jan 2010 20:05
The Milton Ale Shades, Gravesend
Excellent Guiness and another one of the better local urban pubs. Friendly atmosphere
17 Jan 2010 20:02
The Millers Cottage, Gravesend
One of the better urban pubs. Friendly atmosphere as used by locals. Good beer of reasonable price
17 Jan 2010 20:01
Can be a bit dodgy during the day here. Hardened drinkers use this and the Kings Head around the corner
17 Jan 2010 20:00
Full of hardened drinkers. Can be intimidating at weekends and noisy at best of times
17 Jan 2010 19:59
One of the best run pubs in Gravesend. Very friendly atmosphere and good bar staff. Good selection of ales and never any trouble
17 Jan 2010 19:58
Quiet little pub set in busy town surroundings. Beer of reasonable quality. Large amounts of graffiti in locale bring tone down however
17 Jan 2010 19:57
Extremely loud music ruins the ambience of this pub. Beer no of the highest quality and full of hardened drinkers and down and outs from the huge estate. A personal shop opposite does not help matters
17 Jan 2010 19:56
Fine food served at this gastro pub. Excellent friendly staff make this one of the better pubs in the area
17 Jan 2010 19:54
Quiet pub which is not for outsiders. Can be intimidating at weekends
17 Jan 2010 19:54
The Crown and Thistle, Gravesend
Small little pub which is well known amongst real ale affionados.
17 Jan 2010 19:53
Really good quality food and beer. Used to have a beer garden although this went some time ago.
17 Jan 2010 19:51
A fine pub which has recently changed hands. Good beer but limited food. Quiz nights one a month
17 Jan 2010 19:50
A reasonable pub, well kept and good quality beer although can be a little unwelcoming
17 Jan 2010 19:49
An OK pub good beer, although the food can be poor. Friendly enough staff and landlady
17 Jan 2010 18:54

A great locals pub, friendly atmosphere inside and the quiz night is recommended all in all a nice pub
17 Jan 2010 18:32
The Charles Dickens, Broadstairs
Noisy to say the least. The beer is OK and yet the atmosphere can be a little intimidating
17 Jan 2010 18:30
Great location and good food. The service could be better however the real choker is the car parking which you could be charged for if you are not careful
17 Jan 2010 18:29
The Duke Of Cumberland Hotel, Whitstable
Popular with the day trippers, the beer is fine and the food OK
17 Jan 2010 18:27
Full of noisy kids and chavs.. poor selection of food and poor beer
17 Jan 2010 18:26
Excellent pub. Visit as much as possible and the landlord is always very friendly. Quiz every Thursday night, with differing quizmasters. Always a fair range of beers.
17 Jan 2010 18:23
I don't mind this pub. The bar staff are reasonably friendly and the food is OK, The beer is excellent and the atmosphere is good too. Can a little loud however
17 Jan 2010 18:20
The River Bar and Grill, Maidstone
Awful pub. Full of local hardened drinkers. One best avoided
17 Jan 2010 18:18
The Old House at Home, Maidstone
A fairly intimidating local and not one for the outsiders.
17 Jan 2010 18:17
This is an OK pub during the day, but it has the potential to kick off at night. Reasonably priced beer
17 Jan 2010 18:16
Good pub. Friendly bar staff and good beer. High class clientele
17 Jan 2010 18:14
Friendly pub and good bar staff. OK selection of beers and lagers and the food is fine
17 Jan 2010 18:13
Have not visied since the change of management. Previous landlady was off putting to say least. No complaints about the beer.
17 Jan 2010 18:11
Good friendly village pub. Always welcoming atmospehere. One to visit.
17 Jan 2010 18:10
The Ypres Tavern, Sittingbourne
Decent enough pub... better than some in the town centre. Good Spitfire served
17 Jan 2010 18:09
Real rough one this. Full of hardened drinkers. Avoid on a Saturday night
17 Jan 2010 18:08
Strange little pub. Quiet and serves good beer but poor food
17 Jan 2010 18:07
The best pub in the town centre of Sittingbourne. Good Beer and great food. Friendly crowd in there too.
17 Jan 2010 18:06
Lurid refit recently and seems to attract the more undesirable crowd nowadays
17 Jan 2010 18:05
Not a bad little pub. Welcoming and a good selection of beers. Warm and comfortable during the winter
17 Jan 2010 18:02
Scruffy and run down.... seedy and full of louts who I think have been barred from just about everywhere else
17 Jan 2010 18:02
Not so bad as its reputation appears to have, friendly enough and reasonably priced beer
17 Jan 2010 17:59
The United Services, Gillingham
A much underated and friendly pub. Excellent range of beers and welcoming atmosphere
17 Jan 2010 17:49
Good pub.. lots of range of beers, a little noisy at the weekend however
17 Jan 2010 17:48
The Southern Belle, Gillingham
There is plenty of potential trouble at this corner pub. Intimidating atmopshere coupled with a run down appearance mean this is one for the hardened regulars only
17 Jan 2010 17:46
The Prince Of Guinea, Gillingham
Chas and Dave played this venue on new years day 2008. Beer is OK and staff friendly enough
17 Jan 2010 17:40
If you are looking for trouble then this is the place for you. I pass this place every morning around 9am and there are always a large collection of hardened drinkers hanging around outside having a fag and therefore being extremely intimidating. I have ventured into the place once and witnessed a fight. A poor range of beers and an intimidating atmosphere made this an extremely unappealing place. Avoid at all costs.
17 Jan 2010 17:39
A rough and noisy pub. Cream walls and a hostile atmosphere are not the most appealing of features in a pub
17 Jan 2010 17:33
Small family run pub. Bar Staff friendly but limited cask ales
17 Jan 2010 17:31
The Canterbury Tales, Gillingham
Not a bad little pub actually. Good range of casks and well kept. Friendly bar staff and good atmosphere
17 Jan 2010 17:30
The Britton Farm House, Gillingham
A underrated pub especially during the day. Reasonably good food allowed for a pleasant lunch time
17 Jan 2010 17:28
The Best pub in Gillingham.. friendly bar staff and good selection of lagers. Nice Beer garden at the rear too.
17 Jan 2010 17:26
The Beacon Court Tavern, Gillingham
One of the best pubs in Gillingham. Great music and very good beer. Friendly welcoming atmosphere too.
17 Jan 2010 17:24
Always a lively affair and a surprisingly friendly crowd to outsiders
17 Jan 2010 17:19
One of the newer pubs and it still maintains novelty value for some. The beer is OK and the service is solid
17 Jan 2010 17:17
A terrible pub with a terrible reputation. Only been in there once and witnessed a fight. Left in a hurry
17 Jan 2010 17:16
One of the worst pubs in Medway. Full of chavs on quiz nights and the musicians are regularly heckled. Poor selection of beers make the situation worse
17 Jan 2010 17:14
A great music venue and the beer is of a reasonable standard
17 Jan 2010 17:13
A complete lack of atmosphere and you can never get anywhere to sit
17 Jan 2010 17:12
The bar staff here are excellent and polite, not too much trouble in there and there is a good range of beers.
17 Jan 2010 17:11
The toilets are foul, yet the beer is OK, and is nice and quiet during the day, however can kick off in the evening
17 Jan 2010 17:10
A nice large pub with a good range of beers. Can be a little busy at times and loud but well worth a visit
17 Jan 2010 17:08
Usually full of local drinkers during the day, a visitor will find this intimidating. However scratch below the surface you will find a freindly welcome from the bar staff..an acquired taste
17 Jan 2010 17:07
A great outdoor venue and excellent beer. Highly recommended
17 Jan 2010 17:05
Totally deserted during the day and full of bouncers at the weekend not for the faint hearted
17 Jan 2010 17:04
A really good local for the good people of Allhallows. Nice cask ales and good food. Visit if you are out that way
17 Jan 2010 16:59
Another real down and out pub. Set on a really noisy road and poor quality beer
17 Jan 2010 16:58
Another rough pub on just off Star Hill. Having played Darts there many years ago I know it can be intimidating for locals
17 Jan 2010 16:57
The Queen Charlotte, Rochester
This is a pub to AVOID on a Friday night. Full of drunks and blokes looking for trouble. However during the day and on weekday evenings is a reasonably pleasant experience to visit
17 Jan 2010 16:56
A really rough pub in terms of clientele which has under gone a refurb recently. This has not improved matters
17 Jan 2010 16:55
A good little pub although seating an be limited. Beer is of high quality
17 Jan 2010 16:53
An actually underrated pub. Friendly and accomodating bar staff, good quizzes and good food. Better than the pubs around there.
17 Jan 2010 14:09
This is one of the more pleasant pubs in Rochester, especially over the weekend.Beer is good and bar staff friendly
17 Jan 2010 14:08
Formally the Norman Conquest. Rowdy at Weekends and best avoided
17 Jan 2010 14:06
A real Chav hotspot at the weekends, who warm up for the Casino Rooms by plying themselves in the City Wall. During the weekdays is usually desserted.
17 Jan 2010 14:05
A strange little place situated on a dingy part of the high street. Well worth going inside however as friendly and welcoming
17 Jan 2010 14:03
Exterior looks rough, especially in summer with groups of tattooed males drinking Fosters Ice outside. Bit better inside .
17 Jan 2010 14:01
Quiet and tired local, situated in run down area of Strood.
17 Jan 2010 13:58
Not a bad pub, improving reputation locally and has local quiz nights
17 Jan 2010 13:57
This pub is best avoided. Sitting on a busy main road it is full of hardened drinkers and the beer is of poor quality
17 Jan 2010 13:55
Very bad reputation due to locality. However not so bad on closer inspection. Beer is OK and plenty of car parking space.
17 Jan 2010 13:54
The Crispin and Crispianus, Strood
Rather dingy looking from the outside and very disappointing inside. OK beer but little said of the food
17 Jan 2010 13:51
Nice Victorian era pub. Ocasional Quiz night, OK for a rainy day.
17 Jan 2010 13:50
One of the hidden 'gems' of Medway. Friendly bar staff and great beer. Look out for a exhibition darts night which happens farely regularly and has in the past featured BDO legen Bobby George.
17 Jan 2010 13:49
This pub has been open and shut regularly, when open then was not the bst
17 Jan 2010 13:47
Played Darts there many years ago and popped back in again recently. Not as bad as some have made out and improving quality of beer served.
17 Jan 2010 13:46
This has recently become a sports bar. Very noisy road outside. Two Large rooms inside
17 Jan 2010 13:45
The Fenn Bell Inn, Fenn Street
An OK pub, locals reasonably friendly, but a bit out of the way. Good beer though served
17 Jan 2010 13:43
The Horseshoe and Castle, Cooling
A proper quiet pub set in a beautiful setting overlooking the marshes and good beer too
17 Jan 2010 13:41
The Hogarth Inn, Isle of Grain
An interesting Historical pub (as the name suggests) the beer is of good quality
17 Jan 2010 13:39
This is an OK pub, however because of locality tends to have lots of youngsters in there whenever I have been in there. Good Beer though
17 Jan 2010 13:38
An out of the way and relaxed pub. Bar Staff always welcoming and excellent food.
17 Jan 2010 13:37
Great local. Always serves excellent beer and friendly service.Monday every two weeks provides an informal and free fun quiz. Great pub
17 Jan 2010 13:35
Winning the CAMRA award for best beer in Medway was a bit of a smoke screen as the main appeal of this pub for locals is the excellent food that is served. Only usually heeving when a party is in full swing it is a nice quiet drinker on a Friday night. However some of the ales are not of the highest quality
17 Jan 2010 13:30
This is the best pub in Hoo by far. A friendly atmosphere and a solid group of regulars make this a nice place for a quiet drink. Good beer and excellent food make it a must out on the Peninsula
17 Jan 2010 13:27
The Chequers is a strange pub, as during the day is extremely friendly and welcoming and the beer is of good quality, however on evenings such as Quiz nights turns into a rather hostile place with large groups of drinkers making a noise and ruining the ambience
17 Jan 2010 13:19
Pauline's Manor Shades, Gravesend
Nice rowdy place if thats your kind of thing
24 Mar 2010 14:38
