The Flying Boat (JD Wetherspoon), Dartford

The Flying Boat is a Wetherspoons pub that is situated on the main road through Dartford. Once inside there is a large square shaped room with the bar on the right side,it is carpeted and has mainly normal tables and chairs plus a few tall ones. There was a TV on mute on the left side. There was a decent choice of guest beers on,i had a drink of Nelson Pieces of Eight,which went down well,the other beers noted were Nelson Spanker and beers called Mildly Rockin and Evans Evans,plus the Spoons regulars. The pub was very busy on my Saturday dinner visit. I thought this was a decent enough Wetherspoons to have a drink in. Pub visited 22/10/2016

Large open plan pub that is just like a square box. Very little in the way of guest ales and very little in the way of atmosphere.

The Flying Boat is a typical JDW, a large ope building with big plain windows which make it very light and airy. The clientele seemed to be mostly families, oddly , plus a few solitary drinkers and a gang of smokers blocking the main entrance. There is a smaller bar to the rear, but I didn't have a good look in there. Food is the usual JDW fare, and didn't look terribly appetising. Six ales on, I had a pint of Wadworths which was well past its best but still just about drinkable. Worth floating in for a Short.
