1430 visit. Second call today and not been back here for a year or two. Nice old place. Tennis was on a big screen and the F1 GP on a smaller tv. The carvey, for £5.95 plus extras was noted for another time. Ales were spot on too.

The pub is found in Gillingham, Kent, ME7 1DE.

Found in Jeffrey Street, off the High Street in central Gillingham. A large corner pub with a separate dining area extension and a decent sized garden. A locals' type pub and noted for its real ale range and large selection of foreign bottles. A Sunday carvery was noted too. This pub has appeared in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. 5 handpumps on the bar counter. Closed in January 2018 and suspected destined for change to residential use.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 7 different beers and tried 5 of them.
