The Warden Bay, Sheerness

Substantial club-like pub, formerly the Cavern, with three main seating areas with differing furniture. Also has an outdoor terrace facing the car park, a couple of pool tables in different areas and food may be available at certain times. No real ale of course, so just a swift John Smith's which set me back by £1.90 for a half.

An aptly named run-down barn with a bar and diner inside, previously The Warden Bay Hotel, a modern estate-type building with an enormous car park. It has the charm and feel of an aircraft hangar. It supposedly hosts live bands, but there was no evidence of this when we visited. There is no real ale, and it was full of loud, obnoxious idiots. The barmaid was actually very pleasant, and she did try to find something decent for us to drink, but there really is nothing here to tempt me back.
