The Swan, Ashford

Oh dear.... what a shame....

The management have clearly put a lot of time and money into this place. It's such a shame about the clientele.
If you want physical violence just because the little Englanders don't like you purely because they've never seen you before, this is the place to be.
Management - sort out your customers....

The Woolpack Inn, Warehorne

Frankly dreadful pub offering overpriced haute-cuisine tat.

It might work in central London where pretentious idiots on expense accounts are trying to impress other pretentious idiots. But not in Kent. there are plenty of pubs within a five mile radius of the place that serve a decent meal.

The Flower Pot, Maidstone

As Isabella says, "A great pub with an exciting range of ales". Well, let's qualify that:

"an exciting range of ales"? Yes.
"A great pub" - probably, once you've been welcomed into the clique.

The thing with a cliquey pub is that if you are part of the in-crowd, you don't realise how it appears to others. Wetherspoons is just down the road - they have a wider range of ales and are equally (i.e. not especially) welcoming.
