Ypres Bar, Sittingbourne

Before WW1 The Ypres was known as The railway Tavern and was a Style and Winch house. The name changed in honour of the battle after the war. It was originally much larger with 5 bars and accommodation, but now it's just one large bar area on a cormer plot in the High Street area with a patio area for smokers. It's well known for its impressive hanging basket floral displays in the Summer. There was a warm welcome, and good basic food at a fair price. The decor is also basic and there is a chewing gum ban - a good idea. The beer was excellent - two ales on, I had Spitfire which was perfectly kept. I would happily come back any time for a pint or a snack, and it's a must for a town crawl.
