I love the Old House. Its charm is in the way that it doesn't feel that it is run as a commercial venture. People are very friendly if you give off the right vibes. One of the only pubs that I occassionly go to but regularly end up having conversations with the locals. As long as you don't mind having a conversation about the price of local farriers.

The Fox and Hounds, Romney Street
The Fox and Hounds delivers consistantly good beer and really makes good balance between a local pub and one that welcomes visitors. The food is reasonable, but not special and the beer is of a consistantly hight quality.
A great pub to mix in with a walk!

The Fleur de Lis Hotel, Sandwich
I enjoy being in the Fleur and the staff are really friendly. They have only one good guest beer on at a time but they are always of a good quality and they are drunk quickly which keeps them fresh. Food is a bit hit and miss. I have had brilliant and very poor meals here, but would always go back for a drink if in the area.

The Market Porter is a great pub with a wide range of real ales. I love this pub because 1) it always has several beers on that I haven't tried before 2) it is great to stand outside in summer 3) the customers seem to be from many different backgrounds and all walks of life, but everyone is very friendly.
The only problem is that when it is really busy or too cold to stand outside I have to go elsewhere.

The Rising Sun, Kemsing
This used to be a brilliant pub that served great food and sold a wide range of high quality beers, but is that pub no more. The pub gives the impression of what it is like, it is run down, dirty and just not a place that I want to be anymore. They still buy in beers that are interesting but don't look after them and keep the pipes clean.
When the pub looks good from the outside I will go back in again and see what has changed. The pub is in such a good position nad would make a fortune with the right sympathetic investment. Actually can I buy it?
