Have recently become a regular here... Find the staff very friendly and witty, only popped in to start with to have a quick pint of guinness whilst the mrs was shopping but had such a good time i took the wife in on the saturday as id seen entertainment advertised.. disco & karaoke. We both had a really good night and the beer was lovely in taste and temp..... Have now made this a regular place to visit

This place looks a little like "locals only" from the outside but really its ok. On a Sat afternoon it was packed so it must be doing something right. Had the only real ale on (Lon Pride) and was suprised - it was pretty good. This is not a bad pub, give it a try. Could do with a guest ale for the real ale drinkers - landlord take note please if you read these posts !

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

how are pubs like this staying open,why are people still paying good money for rotten beer and service it's only in town's the like's of Chatham they can get away with it's an insult to call that skip a public house.

Located in a side road just off the local High Street is The Jolly Caukers, A most definitely local�s affair, I did however find it friendly enough on my visit last Friday (4th April), if a little odd. There were kids in prams and one behind the bar helping himself to a J20. I know its Chatham, but still� D�cor most certainly isn�t a plus point � its tatty, with a kind of semi-navel theme. Photos of battleships adorn the walls along with various other sea related objects. There was no great choice at the bar (the usual kegs etc), though it was pleasing to see one hand pump. (Adams I believe). There is a little beer garden, though I didn�t venture out there. To conclude, not a pub I can see myself entering again, though it certainly wasn�t quite the dire experience I had anticipated.

A town center pub that was reasonably priced but one that we wont be visitng again.
The toilet floor was covered in urine and every now and then the stench of sewers filled the pub.
Dirty tables full of empty glasses and uncleaned ash trays and the beer was warm and took ages to pour.
My wife was being leered at by some old looking pervy tramp bloke who looked and smelt like he lived in the toilets.
customers though were generaly friendly but seemed to be in competition with each other to see who could be the loudest.
we left just as some local chavs were smashing the pub windows.

Needs a lick of paint, but is certainly friendly, and the prices aren't too stupid. Really close to the town centre, so it's certainly possible to whicle away an hour or so while the missus is shopping.

No cask ales. Keg lager and bitter. A very run down and scruffy place. Needs a wash and brush up.

It's a small pub, but extremely welcoming and a great venue for live music. I went down there last night (12th Nov 04) and saw Phil Neale and some guests playing all night, it was just fantastic. And they have live music most Fridays, Phil apparently plays normally twice a month and if I've got Friday nights off, I'll be going back to the Caukers for another great night of company and music.
