The Bush, Aylesford

A large village pub in a late Victorian building, mainly a local pub which occasionally hosts live music. There is a paved terrace at the back, plenty of room to move around inside and a variety of seating styles. An original fireplace has a didgeridoo hanging over it, but no-one seemed to know why. There is a piano, WiFi and various gaming machines to entertain the crowds, and they do basic pub grub at a reasonable price. Staff and locals alike are welcoming and pleasant, although it can get a bit cliquey. There is an active cricket community here and many trophies are on display. It is dog friendly. Two ales on, Pride and Doombar, both in OK condition and well kept. I'd be happy to drop in anytime when passing, and it makes a good alternative to the two chain pubs on the nearby motorway junction.

Open at 11am for which I am always grateful. Pretty basic but ok for that. Picture and article about an old SPURS player on the wall.
