The Foresters Arms, Tonbridge

This is my local and I live 30 seconds walk from it. Went in there with my girlfriend 2 nights ago for a drink and to watch the football that they were showing. Once we'd sat down we overheard a couple of the regulars complaining to the bar staff that they wanted to watch the rugby. They were told that they couldn't because we were already watching the football (which was already on the big screen when we came in). These 3/4 regulars (all aged mid 40's) then spent the next 45 minutes abusing, baiting and intimidating myself and my girlfriend. Needless to say we didn't rise to the bait and left at half time.

It's sad that I have rated my local so poorly, but the place is only going to be as good as the people that frequent it, so unless the management does something about these low lifes then quite frankly it will struggle.
