Beer in the Evening is a hobby of mine. It can be a really good way to find a decent pub, to see what others have to say about a place before you venture in. A word of warning though - if someone's gushing praise or totally condemning somewhere, click on their name - if they've only rated the one pub, then you can safely ignore them :o)
Click on my name to see my comments on over a hundred pubs in the south east, and if you know somewhere good, why not tell me !
Here's MY rating criteria - other people rate differently. Me - I rate on beer. NOT food ! After all, that's what this website is about
0 - Somewhere that has personally insulted me. I've given this to seven out of 170+ bite ratings
1 - The absolute pits - claims to do real ale, but doesn't, and doesn't want you in there because you're not a local
2 - - The absolute pits - does do real ale, but doesn't want you in there because you're not a local
3 - The sort of place that couldn't do any better, even if it tried.
4 - The sort of place that could do better if it tried.
5 - A poor pub. Acceptable, but poor.
6 - The average pub.
7 - A good pub - with something above the ordinary, be it the location, the cleanliness, the standard and choice of ale.
8 - A very good pub - with something that appeals to me personally, be it pickled eggs, the beer selection, the friendliness of the staff and or clientelle.
9 - An absolute gem with something unique about it. I've given this to five out of 100+ bite ratings
10 - Reserved for the best pub in the country. Not given any yet.

I'd asked fellow contributors to "Beer in the Evening" for recommendations for a family friendly pub in the Hever Castle area. This was one of four places recommended. We chose this one over the other three because we found it first.
The bar staff were welcoming, the food good, and the beer well kept. Larkin's "Traditional" which I've never seen before, and Harvey's Best (seen everywhere).
I must admit I was a tad put off by the swarm of smokers blocking the door to the place, but they were friendly enough.
All things considered, 7/10. Above average, but it needs a wider ale selection.

Very good beer selection, but definite vibes of "Royston Vasey".
I was glad that my brother knew one of the locals because otherwise I am sure that they would have eaten us.
I'll give the place 8/10. It would get 9/10, but for the scary locals.

Popped in for lunch in the snow today. Two ales & two ciders on the hand pump. Service excellent, and friendly locals.
