The Kenley Hotel, Kenley

We - my partner and I have been drinking in the Kenley for many years my partner for about 30yrs, me about 11 yrs, we have seen landlords come and go. Chris is a nice guy and when he is not knackered he works really hard and is a fantastic landlord, he has made many friends and keeps his customers happy -

Since the no smoking ban it has been difficult for those members of the staff who smoke, as they have to keep popping out for a fag thus leaving the bar with no one serving!! quite annoying when you are gagging for a pint !!

We are part of the 4 - 8 drinking group who reside at the left hand side of the bar. A lot of our friends have kids who make up the 18 + group, they are not a problem just a little high spirited and look at chris as a role model lol !!

The food in the kenley is excellent with Eid the Thai Chef who guardes her honey with a will of iron ( all regulars at the kenley will understand that ) makes the most wonderfull meals and can turn out a very buffett for special occasions such as birthdays and funnerals.

The Kenley Hotel is a meeting place for many diverse groups of people who all manage to mix together well.

As for the people that come to stay over at the hotel part of the pub are usualy workman of different trades who always seem to have a good time and keep coming back for more.

I have it on good authority that the rooms and bathrooms are sometimes left in the most disgusting states by the workmen that use them, the cleaner really does their best to keep it as nice as possible and i think for �20 a night people really should not moan as there is a travel lodge just up the road if they prefer better.

The Kenley Hotel offers a good meal, good company, great food, and a cheap place to lay your head if you feel uncomfortable with any activities within the pub you can always go else where.
