Graham Coombs left this review about Market House
A thoroughly modernised old Sheps pub and not in a good way, being a vivid example of what happens when you unleash a 'designer' with a vague brief - lots of random recycled woodwork, bare floorboards and some uncomfortable-looking benches. There is a 'wait to be seated' restaurant area to the rear and a roof terrace above. At least the two ales (Masterbrew and Whitstable Bay) seemed to be in good condition and there were various entertainments advertised: live music, quiz etc.

E TA left this review about Market House
A fairly average Shepherd Neame town pub, nicely restored to give it some traditional character at street level but over-modernised elsewhere. The upstairs room is primarily for functions and acts, though it had been taken over by a bunch of teenagers when we visited, using it as their safe space to escape from the nasty, bigoted grown-ups. Ales on were Spitfire, Creekside, Masterbrew and Whitstable Bay, plus a keg bank of Moretti, Guinness, Camden Hells, Spitfire Lager and Orchard View cider. The ales were too warm and in suboptimal condition. I wouldn’t make it a destination of choice and there is better ale to be had in other nearby pubs.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Market House
Previously Earls, but still known for live music following its change of name and ownership in 2018. Refurbished is a lighter semi-modern style and food is now more of a focus than previously. Small patio area at the front. As a Shepherd Neame house, Master Brew, Whitstable Bay Pale, Spitfire and the Christmas Ale (£5.05) were available from the four handpumps on this first visit for eight years.
