| Pub closed. It's now a supermarket. SilkTork - 8 Jun 2013 16:17 |
| I notice BITE have totally ignored my previous comment. The BITE site is so full of errors now I can only assume that the selling of phone numbers and pop-up opportunities to advertisers is far more useful than accuracy. TiaMariaJim - 26 Apr 2012 11:54 |
| Note to BITE : Location should be shown as Rochester rather than the street address otherwise it doesn't show up properly in searches. TiaMariaJim - 25 Jun 2011 10:26 |
| Large neighbourhood corner pub just off a local shopping street. This pub has changed hands a number of times over the past few years ago. Ten years ago it was on its last legs as the long standing couple running it had lost interest. It was at that time possibly the most neglected pub in the south of England. The couple's old smelly dog owned the place, and you didn't want to sit down on the filthy, torn seats; also, you had to take care when buying a beer, to avoid the curling brown fly strip hanging above the bar. When they gave up, the pub remained closed for about a year. Then a new owner gave the place a decent make over - a complete refurbishment, fresh cask beer, a positive and friendly attitude, and free bar snacks in the early evening to attract people coming home from work. At some point young drinkers established themselves in the pub, and the cask ale went. There were problems with the police, and complaints from neighbours. The pub changed hands, and though the problem with young drinkers might have eased the pub has attracted even more negative attention with petitions, court cases, and local councillors getting involved due to disturbances from the client�le. A drunken death outside the pub, and a serious assault, have also impacted on its reputation. The pub looks attractive, and has potential. But with the reputation it has acquired, it is a pub to enter with care. SilkTork - 23 Jun 2011 13:54 |
