Not the Dog!?! I had my best pint ever there, a Master Brew that slipped down in ten seconds in one. Admittedly I haven’t been back since, and that was in the mid 70s. |

Don't feel bad about it closing headstone, you did your bit to keep them going. You can't be blamed if they've squandered the profits from that pint already. |

See that the current political thread (who is courting Covid) has been relegated. That being so, why is this thread still here as it is hardly MUFC either - especially as it promotes drinking away from the Gallagher.
Another conspiracy no doubt.🤪😭🤢🤮🥴

Another conspiracy no doubt.🤪😭🤢🤮🥴 According to the first post on the first page, it’s here to provide a guide to Maidstone pubs for away fans. If we ever get away fans, who knows how many pubs will be left for them to visit? Until Mr W Stone decides to bin it, this discussion remains a covid free zone until the football eventually returns. It is covid free until 10pm apparently |

I don’t mind Shepherd Neame deciding local community pubs no longer fit into their gastro business model. But I do wish they would try and sell on to new free house owners willing to give them a go, rather than selling to property developers. Remember visiting there a few years ago now, fabulous location, imagine supping ale while looking out over a sweeping view of the weald. Is a bit small, but as you say, in the right dynamic hands, who knows what might be achieved ? |

That would require an element of altruism and respect for the community, when did you last see a big brewer demonstrate those qualities? |

My local! Just down the road and round the corner. But never been in there - mostly because it was a very gay pub until recently (judging from the stuff advertised outside!) Interesting to watch its transition - first to a non-gay pub, but which still welcomed gays (according to the adverts of the time), then a name change and a 'gastro' pub (whatever that is), now just a local pub. Could do well, as there's very little competition in the area these days, but I must admit, if I've walked that far, I'm more likey to do another five minutes and have a decent pint in the Rifleman. Pity it's no longer a gay pub, though, it was just about the only interesting thing about this side of town... |

When I visited a few years back I was sort of acting as an unofficial tour guide with some overseas guests. The welcome we received in the Clothworkers from the transplanted residents of Captain's Close ( if you know Sutton Valance ) was not warm - sort of like the piano stopped playing in your favourite Western, so a new tenant really would be starting from scratch. |
