The Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel, Dartford

It was very quiet in here on my recent Sunday afternoon visit and I was surprised to hear a well known Christmas hit playing loudly, but the very friendly barmaid informed me that it just happened to come on the music channel that was being shown on the flat screens that are found throughout the pub. She served me a very nice pint of Guinness and I went off to explore the many parts of the pub. There are plenty of tables tucked away in various corners and there is also a room at the rear that houses a pool table. Alongside the Guinness there was also a standard draught selection and three hand pumps are hidden away at the corner of the bar and these were drawing Bombardier and Westerham’s British Bulldog. I spotted some menus lying around and food is served from midday until 19:00 and was competitively priced, although I know not of the quality. I would have no problem having another pint or two in here. In regards to the little bar to the left of the entrance, I had a long peer in and came away thinking that it was a tearoom, but I may be wrong.
