| Dead as a dodo on a Wednesday night (but probably due to the fact that it wasn't showing the England vs Germany friendly), this Sheps house is certainly better than most town-centre pubs. During the day, a handy spot to escape to if your other half finds the soulless shops of Fremlin Walk more appealing than a pint of Master Brew. rpadam - 19 Nov 2008 22:38 |
| Splendid old building near the new Fremlins Walk shopping development. The pub has recently undergone one of Shepherd Neame's extensive and invasive refurbishments which has somehow cleaned away most of the genuine character and charm, though the remaining cleaned wood and scrubbed brick has a fresh from the bath feel that is light, attractive and certainly very trendy. Two casks on - Spitfire and MasterBrew. The Spitfire was in stunning condition. The atmosphere in the pub is relaxed and pleasant with 70s and 80s background music. The small bar cluttered with bar flies and stools is one complaint, and the poor quality imitation J2O is another. However, this is certainly an above average pub in a useful central location.
