The Aviator, Queenborough Town, Sheerness

Formerly a landmark roadhouse; now partially bypassed, but with plenty of signage in the area so you are unlikely to miss it. Anyway, it is a substantial place, and not totally wrecked by the various modernisations that have taken place over the years. The bar area remains at the front, with a canteen-like area to one side and the pusher main dining area to the rear. Also has some patio tables at the front and to one side. As a Shepherd Neame pub, it was disappointing to just find Spitfire available from the four handpumps, but at least that was in good shape (£5.50 with a packet of peanuts).
