NOTE:This would be a great pub if you gave it a clientele transplant (can you get those?). The beer is superb (Shepherd Neame) and the landlady has won a pub award for her efforts. It's just the people that go there that get on my nerves. First of all it's too busy. Everyone within a half mile radius appears to go there for a drink after work. Consequently you have to wait ages to get served at the bar. Secondly, the noise of the post work crowd is reminiscent of a school playground and stifles any attempt at meaningful conversation and you end up being reduced to eavesdropping on how Mike the marketing director has sent his son to the best private school. Yawn. If you're lucky the crowds usually thin out by 8ish, leaving you to share the place with those too drunk to move.
