We were dropped off by coach outside this pub and came here to have a pint or two and 'phone for a taxi. Wet sales only this evening so no problem finding a table.

My first visit since refurbishment. Different to what I've been used to but pleased to see a similar layout plus a better range of beers. Late evening Saturday the busiest I've ever seen this pub.

This pub reopened yesterday after a short closure for a refit and branding as a Marston's Generous George pub. The two banks of handpumps have been moved to become one bank of six pumps in a prominent position on the corner of the bar. A tempting display of ice creams made these look almost irresistible. Lots of staff on duty today all of whom seemed to be very keen and enthusiastic.

The pub is found in Ashford, Kent, TN25 4QH.
Between the new Trinity housing estate and the Eureka Business Park. Largish multi-area pub. Patio to the side for better weather and smokers.
