The Kenley Hotel, Kenley

This Pub is a Jewel.

Really friendly atmosphere, easy going locals - it's a nice place to read the paper, catch up with friends and surf the net or just chill.
Also being a ale lover, I'm always surprised and happy to know there'll be something new on the tap.
I've noticed some unfriendly reviews, in particular by DAVE BROOK/JANINE HAMPSHIRE (obviously the same person). I don't know where they're coming from, as i have never seen the things they have described in the pub, in fact, it's because the pub doesn't have those problems i think i'm becoming a regular. Sound's like that reviewer has some issue with the landlord, maybe a CRUSH since they mention his name so much! Not a real surprise as he is a jolly guy.
It's really nice to see a local surviving current economic times, with loyal and friendly regulars for anyone passing by.

The Kenley Hotel, Kenley

Good mixture of ages and groups as well a a healthy flow of passers by.
Friendly bar staff and management, top class food from the Thai chef.

Juke Box, Flatscreen Sports TVs, Quiz Nights-9pm on a Sunday, Beer Garden, Sofas, WIFI Internet Access, good selection of drinks including Ales and a Budget Hotel.

I have drinking in the Kenley on and off for a few years now. Apart from the occasional Friday or Saturday night it remains a nice place to relax, catch up with mates, or just read he paper. It has a good atmosphere and easy going locals.

The Pub itself is a Victorian Antique, lots of the original features are visible. In particular the mirrored bar which was destined for the Titanic.
