Beers in good condition, normally a guest ale too. Very good sarnies and simple food that is really well priced. Nice friendly staff too and not too many herberts as clientele.

Think it's up for sale but a very classic old English pub. Beers well kept and simple pub grub that is tasty and well priced. (Cold meats, chips and chutneys is delicious).

The Stapleton Arms, Gillingham
Good ales, homemade chutney and pies on the bar. Food very good - often served on a piece of slate or a wooden board.

Great views across the bay. Friendly staff, good selection of beers and Rattler! Great place for a couple after a surf.

Totally disagree with the negative review from Oct 2006 - obviously a plant. Service, beers, food (great steaks), wine list - all excellent. It's bang in the middle of The City though so the pints are pricey. Gets increasingly busy on Thursdays as word gets around what a good place it is.

Beer is always good here. Plenty of choices and a guest ale and fortunately, a lack of lager louts. Never had the food but don't think it is up to much as never seen anyone eating! Understand the cliquey comments but they're all a friendly bunch. Also concur with the cute barmaid comment.

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere. Tribute is always a great pint. Food is superb value for money. Steaks, ribs, scampi and home made beef vindaloo are always top drawer. Only criticism is they don't take cards so make sure you've got plenty of cash!

I've been here about 4 times in the last 2 years. My last visit in April 2009 was very disappointing. The staff are still very friendly and the beer and wine are good but the food is now distinctly average. The Kew Inn was famous for its steaks - it used to be a struggle to finish the huge, succulent steak and chips. So if you remember how great these steaks once were, beware as this time I was served a puny sirloin which although tasty, was nothing like it used to be - apart from the price!
Service was very slow, starters mediocre and the puds were ponsey and forgettable (can't even remember what they were). If you read this Mr Ripley, sort it out and PLEASE go back to basics!

La Rascasse, Beckenham
Potentially a great bar. If I do go there, I tend to vacate by about 8:30 when all the plastic ganstas and orange girls turn up.
They have banned hoodies, baseball caps and white trainers but it's still full of coke head tossers with jingle jangle jewelery and cheap tarts on the arm. A real shame because the food in the restaurant can be very good.
