Real ale place with no atmosphere and strange opening times.

It's been a long time since I visited here, first the good news, the miserable landlady has gone, the bad news is the clients have gone downhill and the beer is way too expensive for a back street boozer.

fantastic pub, booked in for a sunday roast and was not dissapointed, great beer and was advised by the friendly landlord what i was drinking, live music was unobtrusive and well received, all in all 10 out of 10. keep it up.

fantastic pub, all real ales are in tip top condition with the added bonus of a discount if your a camra member, friendly staff if sometimes a little slow, but overall 10 of 10. keep it up.

popped in recently only to be greeted by a person swinging a baseball bat at someone else ! not what i expected, the beer was pricey at �3.30 for ale. i also heard that the pub is up for sale ?

popped in again recently whilst in the area, real ales in good condition as usual but was disturbed to hear racist remarks by an older member of the clientel, not really what you want to hear or expect from a pub of this calibre...is it a case of "if your black stay back..if your brown stickaround..if your white your alright".please ask this fool to drink elsewhere landlord.

The Swan on the Green, West Peckham
sunday lunch was poor and expensive, "fuggles" was good enough though, landlord needs a kick in the arse for being rude, who does he think he is ? only giving it a 8 for the setting.

my god, whats happened to this place, ok last time i visited here was about 10 years ago but this is a country pub not a place for tatooed thugs who should be in maidstone town centre beating each other up.

shame this pub has gone down hill, used to drink there everytime i visited maidstone due to good real ale,now caters for heavy drinkers on the dole and tatooed chavs and their foul mouthed wives/girlfriends, c'mon tim (west)clean it up.

popped in again whilst in the area, still a good atmosphere and beer good although a bit pricey, only set back was a very drunk "local" who im informed drinks in there almost every night by the name of jerry or terry, had to almost fight him to get through the door as he was leaning at a drunk angle whilst smoking outside, very offputting and was told by other regulars that this is the norm and that they may look elswhere to drink if he continues to frequent the pub, shame, c'mon landlord and lady get rid of this drunken fool for the sake of your regulars.

great little pub, friendly crowd, good pint of "pride" great on a sunday lunchtime - seafood and roast tatties and they close at 3 just as pubs should.

Ship Centurion Arminius, Whitstable
Great free house, good real ales at a knock down price and always in tip top condition with a big selection of continental beers, nice atmosphere and friendly staff and locals.
