Bucking Fastard left this review about Ailsa Tavern

A Shepherd Neame tied house,the interior is largely open plan but with a small darts room section to the left.The rest of the interior winds around the L shaped servery,there is a mix of seating to the main road frontage,a sports flatscreen to the rear section and doors to a large beer garden ,parially covered with artificial grass .The pub grub often features good value BBQ items cooked in the beer garden.
At the bar just a single handpump offering on my trip Spitfire,NBSS Poor,with two further Sheps brews with clips reversed.There are some keg Sheps output along side other standard keg beers and lagers.
The staff are very friendly,the food well cooked so such a shame that the ale quality and quantity let the pub down.Not too far from Twickers,so may get busy on rugby days,otherwise the pub does have live music and a locals,community feel.

A Shepherd Neame house with Spitfire, Whitstable, Bishops Finger and Masterbrew available. A traditional pub decor - wood panelling, tiling, several small spaces that may at one point have been separate bars. Has a dartboard, TVs for sport, and Open Mic nights on Sunday. An agreeable place to be and I would return.
