| For those who enjoy a long walk, you could do worse than take the train to Higham, head for the preserved St Mary's church, strike out across the marshes (from Great Expectations), turn left at the concrete flood defences, and follow the Thames past the ruined Shornemead Fort, and the back of the police training college where you can see mocked up streets and aircraft. Just as you hit the industrial backside of Gravesend, you will find this excellent little pub. A bit of googling and you can find its website. Not upmarket or special for much, apart from the fact it's there! If you do the walk in reverse there are a couple of pubs near Higham station. Trabbs_Boy - 3 Apr 2008 14:56 |
| Visited many times. This is my local, and it is pretty much what I would want from a pub. The ever changing range of ales (2 in the winter, 4 in the summer) means that every visit is a new tatse experience. Attention to detail and service means that every pint is served to perfection. There is a jukebox, but it's not intrusive.....with the exception of Thursday night when 2 aging rockers pour money into it (that will be me and my drinking buddy). As with all locals, there are some real characters around, and there are some great tales to be heard of Denton Wharf. The Ship and Lobster is allegedly the inspiration for a pub in the early part of Dicken's great Expectations. It is not the easiest pub to get to, but as I am totally biased, I would highly recommend a visit. Especially on a sunny afternoon, watching the ships on the Thames. cackgsy - 18 Feb 2008 13:15 |
