good selection of beer, but the seating plan, and the pillar that blocks the bands from many seating angle puts me off a little, likewise the decor.
decent pint of doom bar here though.

Despite it being a greene king pub I had an exccellent pint of george here ( a beer brewed for this pub by gk I was told) lovely little pub.

I used to work in this pub years and years ago (about 1999) at the timje the lanlord had the spectacular idea of offering a free 1/2 pint with every meal and dessert ordered. Neeldess to say it wasnt a greatly taken up offer.

Had a couple of great nights here recently, after having a cpuple of excellent pints of black sheep, nice little hidden pub.

Had a very nice winter warmer in here the other night, which made a nice change, it was reasonably busy, yet not too crammed. bit pricey but good beers.

had great service in here yesterday, its not a very nice pub, but the youngs was well kept, there was the atomosphere of a fair ground in there replete with the "punch as hard as you can machine" puntuating the silence with occasional whumps.

had a nice pint of canterbury jack here the other day, and the master brew was on cheap, landlord could have been a little more friendly, but overall a comfortable place.

Had a really nice pint here the other day whilst awaiting a train back to the med, great beer on (local canterbury jack) and a well kepyt arty interior, perhaps too much emphahsis on food, but not an overwhelming one.

they have doom bar on currently, which is always a boon in my book.

popped in in the snow, was friendly, food for a picky eater (im vegan) was very poor, but beer was good (rpide) bit sad that there were no local beers availible as the master brew was off.

I came in last night, the pub has been generally less busy early on recently, although I only ever pop in every now and then, I Have to say the beer is always in very good nick to my mind, and I like the atomosphere.
The landlord has usually been friendly, even advising me about vegan beers.
I do prefer the good intent, the coopers but in terms of a decent alternative venue with music I like it.
Very friendly pub dog, dude, too.

I popped in here with some mates last night, lovely beer, liked the intimacy of the surroundings, cool music playing, wished i lived close enough for it to be me local!
6 Aug 2008 12:25
always thought this pub could better use the space, feel cluttered,good range of beers though, and friendly.
27 Jun 2008 12:44
great pub, serving great food, decent guest ales, and a pile of sunday papers, enough to keep me happy!
26 Jun 2008 09:13
popped in last night, nice vibe in there, friendly crowd, decent pool table, and jukie.
24 Jun 2008 13:49
was ok, shame there was only courage on when we popped in, lanmdlady left the bar to play the quiz machine, and the innards hanging out og the cashpoint in the bar when we came in.
11 Jun 2008 13:20
good friendly bar, which is gay friendly, if thats your thing a good place to go in maidstone, open late, and friendly staff.

no bitters on tap, and a large crowd, good size garden, and seemingly constant karaoke.
11 Jun 2008 13:03
seemed ok - ish the other day, locals place, and due to there being no garden people have to go out the front to smoke (including the bar staff!) which as this is the main way in, might put people off.
11 Jun 2008 13:01
great pub, serving great guest ales, i had goachers, lovely staff, bar billiards too!
27 May 2008 15:17
this pub is missing a trick, although it seems busy enough so they may not see the point in setting things right.
there are no real ales, and the pumps they have are not in use, this is weird, when there is such a great local brewing tradition.
the bar is decorated in hideous style.
the stage is excelelnt and there is good local music going on, why not make the most of it?
27 May 2008 15:15
Had a good pint of spitfire last time I went in, and there was quiz going on.
27 May 2008 15:03
had a decent enough pint of pride in here the other night, which tells me that the guest is back!
more could be done with the interior though, and the tvs are annoyingly distracting, id love a jukebox too!

always busy, always fun, not enough places to sit though.
30 Dec 2007 14:15
had a nice little fire going here last night and a decent pint of pride, good enough for a swift half.
30 Dec 2007 14:14
pretty quiet when i sloped int he other day, but a lovely building, friendly lanlord and a nice pint of doom bar were all on offer.

The What the Dick Inns, Rochester
Had a nice chat with the landlady who tell ms this pub provides veggie and vegan food, so I will be seeking it out in the new year.
20 Dec 2007 12:09
no ales, no ciders, just lager, no juke box, no atomosphere. yuck.
20 Dec 2007 11:57
I popped in with my family recently, and was impressed by the juke box, beer and staff, great little pub.
20 Dec 2007 11:56
Pleasant pub with a nice pint of timmy taylor, nice suffolk cider too, albeit served in seemingly a trifle glass. Many nooks and crannies, good music mixed corwd of twenty something hat wearing media types, and east end locals, vibrant and friendly little spot.
19 Dec 2007 09:18
Went here the other day and was very dissapointed, lovely buolsding all chavved up in terms of decoration, and serving no ales at all that were not bottled.
stage outside though, guess this means they have gigs at least.
felts like a yates!

I think this pub is being grossly underrated on this site, it's the only alternative venue pretty much locally.

The Who'd Ha Thought It, Rochester
popped in recently when checking out the area to possibly move there, seemed ok, a bit too footie prientated to me, but the locals were friendly, and the landlord seemed nice. the garden is a bit weird, but could be nice in the summer,

Still an ok pub, but has had the worst new paint job in north london, it looks like a childs bedroom.

Went in for a few this weeknd, excellent pub, great bar games, great ale, and friendly informative bar staff.
19 Aug 2007 21:51
I went in here with a few mates when staying down on the wekend, to watch the rugby, and actually thought it was pretty friendly, and nice. good beer too.
