How long has the Duke of Edinburgh at Barming been renamed the Rocking Robin on the Green? And Why? They don't like the riff raff.

Article on Kent on line about the new owners of the Queen Anne who want to open the doors to families in a bid to rid the pub of it's gay tag but gays are still welcome. The new owner used to work for Gordon Ramsey so the food should be effing well cooked effing properly with good effing care to effing detail.

I passed that boozer on the way back from Maidstone hospital, after my operation on Wednesday, and thought it must be either the anesthetic playing tricks or a Christmas joke!

As was said here before, im glad the Kentish yeoman is back to its old name and no longer called the lion of Kent. For people not used to the area though, the time table on the stagecoach 10x bus still refers to it as the lion

For instance, the 'Fountain' stop at Barming is now named after the Indian that took over when the pub closed - why?! Everyone knew where the Fountain was, who the f**k knows what the restaurant is called? And, anyway, the bloody road is STILL called Fountain Lane!

Exactly, and yeoman lane is still there, but the silly thing is, they moved the bus stop from being near the yeoman years ago, to about 100 yards along the road further, so its now the other side of the esso garage anyway!

Very apt name for the moment. What could be better a few beers with a few mates perhaps watch a few videos of our seasons performances and then throw yourself off the roof.

De ja vu! My uncle harry ran a bar named after him, above a bigger bar in Dover in the 1970s. The whole place is a weatherspoons now. I went there on the way back from paris via the Dover ferry about 9 years ago, and the manager remembered drinking in there during his teenage years and the after hours drinking

I can confirm that big Dave has left supervising the doors there and is expected to join Biceps Barry at The duchess pub in Dover. Here is a little post opening night interview: “I thought the bar staff gave everything tonight and that’s what I ask for, I don’t think we left any (Jagermiester) out there today. It’s just the fine margins and individual errors letting us down. I thought DJ Alan had a great evening and looked solid and kept us dancing for the evening but accidentally playing Old Shep really cost us but we will work on things during Karaoke Thursdays to put things right. There might be a few new faces this week as I hire some temps I worked with in The Muggleton but I only want strong characters.”
