Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Beefeater Manor Farm
Although listed for sale in 2024, this large Beefeater is still trading awaiting new ownership. Usual anonymous semi-modern furniture and décor in the L-shaped arrangement of various seating and dining areas created from two adjoining buildings. Usually has Doom Bar on one of the two handpumps, but that wasn't pulling through for some reason so resorted to a quick Sharp's Atlantic (£2.55, half) from the keg taps.

Manor Farm is a sprawling Beefeater that is attached to a Premier Inn on a busy road junction at the end of Rainham High Street. The interior and menu follow a typical Beefeater formula and along with a choice of standard draught there are two hand pumps that were drawing Spitfire and Hobgoblin. I found the service to be miserable and my half was short measured.
I see no reason to return here whilst this pub is in its present guise.

Previously the British Gas Show Room, this rather grand corner building has been turned into a Beefeater (some 30 or so years ago, admittedly) and it now has a Premier Inn in its carpark, so one can no longer enjoy the smell of burnt cow at the back. Inside is mainly a random splash of eating areas arranged over a bizarre array of floors and terraces which gives the pub the feel of a Disney fun house, while the constant running around of hoards of obese children adds a certain Willy Wonka effect. To the front is a pleasant wooden terrace where you can watch the traffic crawling along the A2. Appearing a few months older than the overweight oompah-loompahs, the bar staff are pleasant and friendly but not terribly efficient. Off to one side, a man in a silly hat throws assorted frozen road-kill onto a naked flame, skillfully coating it with a thin layer of acryl amide while leaving pretty ice crystals in the middle. There were 2 ales on, Spitfire and Hobgoblin, both served too cold and over-gassed. A sign outside says "The Ultimate Breakfast" - best avoid it, then, unless you are a condemned man or staying in the Premier.
