The Kent House Tavern, Penge

Nice Saturday afternoon, perfect for a pre-dinner beer. Spotted this nice looking trad pub while on a run so wandered over to enjoy a cold one.
Considering we were almost alone in the bar, it was an impressive feat that we were made to feel quite so uncomfortable; the Guinness was ok, the bar has indeed seen better days, the service was verging on the 'you don't belong 'ere', but the kicker was the constant screaming, and running around of the owners/bar lady's/devil's young children who were allowed to treat the small bar as a playground. Time to drink up and go back home. In summary, not an experience to be repeated.

It has, in fact, now been demolished.
