This pub is superb just let down by unfriendly landlord who appears to be running it for himself. Maybe he was just in a bad mood but that really is no excuse to a customer. Ended up with money put on the bar instead of in my hand, really strange.
The Harveys is great and would love to go back but my experience sadly puts me right off. Beware!

It's obvious that they are spending alot of money refurbishing this pub. Sadly like others have posted the management let all this hard work down. I was greeted with "alright geez" by the person behind the bar, some may take this as a compliment we nearly turned 180 degrees and walked out. Even though they were trying to be friendly the tone was completely and utterly wrong.
It felt very quiet and cold almost as though any character had been sucked out. I ordered a pint of Harveys which was very good, not cloudy just abit too cold.
Generally found that the pub was trying to copy the Hand and Septre in Southborough but without any of the finesse. It's so close to being excellent although as everybody else comments, the management really need to sort themselves out and get more upmarket and treat customers with abit of respect.

Things have gone wrong at The Hatch. Possibly the worst person I've ever had the misfortune of meeting solely operating the bar. So slow I felt like I wanted to serve myself. The person had either sadly had a stroke or was just drunk. No hello, no goodbye, no personality, no anything. If the person who owns this pub is reading this, it must be very obvious who the employee is, do yourself a favour and fire them. It's going to loose yourself a whole load of future business and reading the other reviews may have cost you already. I love this pub otherwise!
