We had a great time, everyone was super welcoming. We even had a local teach us how to use the pokies.
Never used to go in here, but new owners. Nice atmosphere....requite a different vibe. No food as yet but to come. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this place 😀
*Think twice before entering* It was around 7pm on a Saturday evening and we were outside the pub about to enter when we got ‘greeted’ by a vulgar ‘woman’ who turns out to be part owner of the place…She was swearing & making threats whilst we were simply standing there asking calmly for ANY drink (even just water) as we were really thirsty and everywhere else was closed. We were staying at a local hotel and not from the area so were shocked by this treatment. This ‘woman’ called out her husband and father who were unfortunately just as agressive, it’s no surprise they’re all related. I would say they seemed under the influence of certain substances HOWEVER after reading other reviews I’m now assuming it’s just their ‘character’. The pub should honestly be shut down for safety reasons.
Went to this Shepherd Neame pub across from the bus stop. Walked-up to the bar and no one there. Then a lady got up from a table with her mates and walked behind the bar to serve me. They had three beer engines, one was not on and both of the others were Shepherd Neame Master Brew, which I don't fancy. I'd rather have real ale, but something different from what they have, so I got a Whitstable Bay Pale Ale. It cost £6.80! There were about 10 locals in there, which is fine, but honesty the number of times I heard the word @uck, I wonder if they could afford drinking there without two-tiered pricing. Lovely building. Sad it has to be run like this. I won't be back unless there are major changes.
For starters, anyone who complained about it being “overrun by locals” is just daft because that’s what makes a pub a pub in a town like this. I thought it added character to what would be a very quiet and possibly empty place. The service was great, we were welcomed and looked after from start to finish and to be honest it was great to hear the banter of the locals. The food served was delicious and served in a timely manner. The price for the two lunches inc drinks was under £20. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of life in your beautiful little town
