| Bizarre but likeable pub, from outside it looks like a standard-issue old-fashioned local boozer, once you step through the door however, you will find yourself in a pub quite unlike any you have been in before. The decor is a riot of Pink and Gold striped wallpaper, with leopard skin seating and various other completely contrasting colour schemes in other nooks of the building. It has a piano and unlike in many pubs where this would be little more than an ornament that occasionally serves as a focal point for a drunken sing-song, this actually comes complete with a painist playing selections of instrumental scores from vintage Hollywood movies and Broadway stage shows. The beer selection is good (it's a Shepherd's Neme pub) and for the lager drinkers the lesser-spotted Oranjeboom and Asahi are available on draught, all at par prices for the area. The Roast Dinner looked lovely and was well priced. The service was friendly and welcoming. The toilets however need to be seen to be believed with their weird kitsch wall of mirrored tiles on the way in and pitch black paint with loud pink door frames and window ledges. Odd but the world is probably a much better place for having pubs that defy convention and challenge your expectations of what a pub can and should be. Worth a look if you are passing.

| I used to use this pub 40 odd years ago when I lived in Regency Square. I popped in on the way back to the station. Very nice clean, tidy and friendly. S&N Spitfire, Masterbrew and Bishops on offer. Bit expensive at £3.15 a pint but I suppose you'd expect that considering the lovely area it's in. A little too PINK for my taste. zapsincl - 14 Oct 2010 10:51 |
| In here a couple of Saturdays ago. Shepherd Neame and they had Bishops Finger, Master Brew and Canterbury Jack. Very grandiose, red seating with leopard print in the corners. Has the look of a theatre bar. A bit odd but ok. GuideDogSaint - 29 Aug 2010 19:16 |
| still gorgeous, but a shame they have taken away so much of the window decorations which gave it so much character reynedd - 29 Jul 2010 00:00 |
| One of those photo's that does the pub justice , splendid interior. suprisingly a sister pub of the pow just up the road. all 4 real ales from the sheppard neame stable that included spitfire , bishops finger , quality was fairly good . beatles38 - 22 May 2010 09:11 |
