Society Rooms, Maidstone

This ‘Spoons’ has a large open bar area, and upon arrival looking around at the inebriated parents with push chairs, it’s welcoming to children.
There is a regularly changing selection of real ales. On my recent visit I was intrigued by the taste of a ‘Yachtsman’ and also of ‘Butcombe’.
I find that my work colleagues and I often find ourselves here for the weekly ‘Pub Quiz’ this is every Monday at 1930. There are a wide variety of questions of varying difficulty. There is also an intermission half way through for one to seek sustenance from the wide selection of microwavable food on the menu, for which 20% discount is offered to quiz participants.
The intermission is often the most exciting part of the quiz night. Usually filled with the screeching arguments of unemployed couples who have frequented the bar since opening that morning. But don’t let that put you off this is a very secure public house as the Kent Constabulary often patrol and remove patrons.
If you are looking for a wide selection of hand pumped ales, while you participate in a quiz feeling like you are sat in the audience of Jeremy Kyle this is the place for you.
