| This is a vintage pub and a credit to the town - great beer no frills Ramsey_beer_man - 5 Jan 2012 22:55 |
| If you like your pubs of an old fashioned style then this is a must visit if in Maidstone. No telly, no machines, no other associated garbage just a straightforward old style pub selling proper beer (Goachers in ths case). The pint of pale was drinkable if not top notch but the pub makes up for that. Not only do you feel like stepping back in time but the price of a pint was a clear 10/- less than what the nearest equivalent place charged for something similar. The previous duck related persons comment was about 20 years off the mark as I would say it's more like trip back to 1962. Snarling_Mallard - 12 Mar 2011 23:14 |
| A fantastic pub with great Goachers beer. This is how a pub should be: no music, no TV and no chrome! Just great beer and chat with locals and the Landlord. IanAle - 18 Feb 2011 12:20 |
| There are old-school pubs; and then there's this place, which feels like it's come straight out of Life on Mars. If that sounds like a place you'd like to visit, then come here; if not, you may find the ambience unsettling. The Goachers beer was excellent. pubcollector - 10 Oct 2010 10:42 |
| This is a great retreat. Whenever you walk in you feel incredibly self concious that perhaps you aren't quite good enough for such a exclusive pub. The fact there is very often no one there is a blessing and I hope it somehow stays liek this whilst staying in business. The goachers, whilst not my favourite of ales, is kept well and complements the interior nicely. 'Alan' reminds me of Uma Thurmans trainer in Kill Bill. Rarely does he speak or move but quite clearly he is a master of the old game. OhMyE - 29 May 2010 15:41 |
