Honourable Pilot, Gillinghamback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is a Brewers Fayre pub attached to a Premier Inn.
More of a Resturant but they do have a small area where drinkers can sit.
No Real Ale. You would be better off up the road at the Star.

Stayed in the Premier Inn next door for a couple of days while working here. The food was basic catering pack stuff (except the breakfast which was really first rate) but the staff were friendly and efficient. The beer was good but since I don't know what local prices are I can't say if it was dear or not. Probably was. Not a pub for a night out with the lads since it was ful of famililes having a meal out but I've stayed in worse and I'll happily come back the next time I'm here.

Nothing remarkable or entertaining about this pub.
The main focus is hugely on the food - if you're not eating, you're crammed into a small bar area which is usually full of people waiting to be seated. The bar is expensive for a chain pub and has little choice in beer.
The food is almost insultingly bad - i've been there several times and it is virtually all boil in the bag or clearly microwaved. In this modern era with Supermarkets now selling quality food at reasonable prices, places like this are hugely inadequate and a real throwback to the old oven-chip Beefeater style places.
The staff are OK but clearly ran off their feet. The atmosphere is all family based but friendly but this isn't a place to go for an evening out; it's not a real pub in all honesty.
Overall, poor quality food and a pub that isn't a pub. Leave well alone, only use as a very last resort.

Used to like this place, but now it's getting more 'chavvy' with every passing week.
Saw a barmaid wipe a wine glass on her shirt-tail to remove lipstick before placing it on a tray to take to a customer, before switching the television over to the rugby (thought Brewers' Fayre standards didn't cater for live sport?).
Okay if you like that sort of thing, or if you're going for a meal.

I like this pub, kinda a family affair, good service, good food, good prices, but its not a night out place really especially as its in the middle of nowhere!

Not bad, better for familes than a pub to have a long session in.

Brewers Fayre. A modern grub-pub. Large, clean and well managed. Typically anonymous, characterless rubber stamp fittings, but pleasant enough. One cask - Spitfire - in very good condition, though perhaps just a bit too cold. Quiet background music. Standard pub-grub food. A few flashing game machines scattered around. Acceptable, but not exciting.
