The Beaver Inn, Ashford

This place used to be rough. It's been done up lately and is a lot better than what it was. The bare-footed chavs are still there, they've just got their pool table in their own bar so you can't see then from the posh bit of the pub. The beer selection - it's Shepherd Neame, but that's not always a bad thing. But when asking for a bottle of a bottled conditioned ale you are given the option of having a glass or not. You might remind the barman that the ale is bottle conditioned, but this clearly means nothing to him. It's not a bad place. It's probably among the best within a radius of a mile or so, but with the pubs in South Ashford I'm afraid that's not saying much.
