Ash Tree, Ashford

I've been using the Ash Tree for about 13 years now and what evamatt says about not employing foreign staff is far from the truth. In fact, over the years, I've seen more foreign staff than English staff. We've had staff from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Japan, Lithuania, Poland and Ireland - and that's just the ones I can remember.

As far as the pub's concerned, I think Fullers messed it up in the refurb (a few years back) and if I ever meet the architect I'll tell him that. Still, what's done is done - the ales are almost always in good condition and served at the right temperature and it's the only decent pub in walking distance of where I live.
