The Kent House Tavern, Penge

I popped in the other day on the way home from work to find a scruffy looking unkempt baldy bloke picking his nose and eating it. Yes! , the same man who had just served me my pint in a hazy elderly looking pint glass.
The pub has a quaint atmosphere and with drastic redecoration could be lovely little boozer.
Unfortunately the pub is rather dirty inside and out. And I noticed that the toilet stank and had no toilet roll because the landlord had taken it upstairs with him after ordering a late night Vindaloo curry.
The chap working behind the bar was telling another customer how he had Chronic Diarrhoea all night long and early this morning.
Charming. I have seen this barman around 3 times since and he is still wearing exactly the same clothes as he was the week before.
Maybe they are his favourite attire along with the brown and reddish stain that was still present all down the front from my first visit.
I shall not be 'popping' in here again.
I moved here over 6 years ago and have yet to find a decently run pub in the area. As i left there were two young chaps smoking something illegal in the entrance. I am surprised that the local authority do not 'keep an eye' on these kind of estabalishments'....
