Average Rating:

A better-than-average Wetherspoons, with a pleasant lunchtime atmosphere and a wide range of customers. A good selection of real ales, as you would expect. (NB - Review dates from June 2008.)

Large Wetherspoon's with a single bar and a couple of drinking/eating areas with a further drinking area upstairs. As of most of my visits to this pub there is not much in the way of guest beers. Several times the locals were complaining that the beer was "too clear"!

It seems that a town ain't a town these days unless it has a Wetherspoons and Gravesend's Robert Pocock (a local historian, naturalist, antiquarian, and printer) is probably one of the above average members of JD's family. The large interior is quite rambling with lots of alcoves and recesses to hide away in. Further seating can be found on an upstairs balcony creating a sort of atrium. The usual snippets of local history, characters and old town photos are dotted about and the usual discounted food and drink apply. 2 Guest beers seem the norm for Wetherspoons these days and there are 2 or 3 pubs nearby that can now match the ‘Spoons Ale selection, if not the price. 2 large plasma screens cater for the sporting occasions and they even had the commentary on during our visit when they were showing rugby. There was no sign of the usual doughnut brained pond life or saturated wino contingent but I dare say they do make an occasional appearance.
