Just along from the Good Intent,unpreprosessing exterior , gives way to a regulars "back street pub " fine selection of real ales ,all in good condtion,well worth a visit ,but dont expect any frills.

Real Ale and Music fans should not let the drab unlovely exterior of this pub put them off from visiting it ,.The decor is nothing to shout about ,but the beer is excellent , and the customers are friendly.A good selection of gravity fed ales ,allways available ,and often very good music .

Went in here last Saturday early evening[7.15] A bottle of house white was �16 pounds and was very underwhelming ,the barman was distinctly off hand, we were annoyed that we did not walk out immediately, as we should have done ,definitely will not be going back this place has hit rock bottom ,imo.

Very nice boozer ,clean and well kept ,with a couple of real ales that are up to snuff, one of the best pubs in the Medway Towns.

The Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus
Friday lunchtime there is good jazz of varying styles ,downstairs ,admission is usually about �6. Bit of a push to get served ,and its quite murky down there but well worth it,a friendly crowd too,recommended.

Went back on Thursday,a large wine and a pint of TT was �7,so not cheap but I like the way the front opens upto the street and the beer is kept rightplus the sausage sarnies are ok.

The pub looks closed from the outside,and somewhat the worst for wear inside ,but the service is ok and the range of beers impressive ,and of good quality,music often,definitely give it a try.

This is a very good pub if you like sunday lunchtime jazz all ages congregate here then ,the Bombadier is consistantly good at night it reverts to a kids pub noisy and souless.
26 Sep 2006 22:36
cheap R A s but lacking in atmosphere trade has been hit by the newly opened Pembroke
25 Sep 2006 20:32
Kids pub ,dark and full of screens showing sports the small selection of r/a is drinkable .the food is ok and reasonably priced a pub for the under 30s at night.
25 Sep 2006 20:31
Good pub with quick service,good selection of ales in consistantly top condition ,not the cheapest pub but run by a guy with old fashioned values about service and courtesy,names Roger.
25 Sep 2006 20:29
Courage best allways on London Pride most times,quality can be variable Sunday lunchtimes is a good bet.Mixed friendly crowd
25 Sep 2006 20:26
Best value in London 1.72 for a pint of brewery bitter [sept 06]good beer decor a bit sombre food edible and not exhorbitanta complement to the Harp nearby.

Good Pub,especially in the daytime ,when the front is open ,friendly clientele,good selection of real ales sausages are good too an oasis .

Robert Pocock, Gravesend
The beer in here is very variable ,though cheap ,it appears to draw the value for money, Sat morning crowd ,and has lost a lot of trade to the Pembroke, round the corner.
A shame to see this pub go progressively down hill.Slow service due to being perpetually understaffed ,and young girls behind the jump who know nothing about real ale.
