Was that before or after the Buckland Hill episode? That was to calm his nerves |

Firstly I apologise because this is not a pub but the Old Boat floating Cafe is back in its rightful position in Maidstone. For Covid reasons it has been gone a long time but it does the finest food in Maidstone. The cheddar cheese and local apple with fig and Bishop finger ale chutney huffkin is bloody gorgeous. I recommend you all to have a visit. They do cooked breakfast ,jacket spuds fresh from the onboard stove and wonderful ploughmans dishes. Please support this wonderful old boat and the wonderful people that run it. Advertisement over😋

Not a pub, but the nightclub where a kid got killed outside has reinvented itself as Ballin. www.ballinmaidstone.com/£50 per person to play table tennis or pool while drinking beer. Not for the likes of me. Will be shut soon then🤬 |

In the old Pizza Express building. Noticed someone outside having just a beer, and it does claim to be a bar. Apparently has a record shop upstairs. thegreenroommaidstone.co.uk/I have never heard a beer claiming to be a bar but the re cord shop sounds interesting. |

Popped to Maidstone today and had a couple in the Stag, it's not the greatest pub in town but the music played through the speakers is second to none. Moved on to the Druids,not a lover of the new decor but Carrie the landlady gave me the biggest hug. One of the new bar staff though is a bit of a wet fish, sorry,a massive wet fish, the weekend crowd will eat him alive.

Walked past the Pilot today - very sad sight.
I can't remember what the situation was, but it has the look of a pub that is never going to reopen.

New expanded bar in the Royal Star Arcade to replace 4 degrees. www.thecanopybar.co.uk/At around £5 a pint, wouldn’t go there too often. But good luck to them in these hard times. Previous owner/manager now has the RED BULL at Eccles. |

Yeah. My wife follows the Facebook page. Gone all upmarket with the food. Not my thing, but he knows what he’s doing. Yeah still a good pub though, the good residents of Eccles will not allow him to get to posh ,trust me.😁 |

Shout out for The Rifle Volunteers. Popped in last Saturday for a lovely pint of Goachers sitting in the back garden.

Can't wait to bump my head on the upstairs beams in the Gem once again! Although with table booking in such a tiny pub, I can't see it being very soon. I suppose they can have a few tables out front, but if memory serves there is no beer garden.
Funny thing about the Rifle Volunteers - as I live in the middle of Holland Road, it's actually my nearest pub. But only as the proverbial crow flies! In reality it's a fair walk, and, whichever way I go, I actually pass other pubs on the way. Considering how few pubs there are left in town, that's quite a weird situation.

I was in the Druids last Saturday and they had 4 bar staff on continually patrolling the pub and one assistant manager getting in the way and f**king everything up. Dont you just love managers?

No beer garden at Little Gem and I have also heard that the new licence is significantly more restrictive than what they had before for drinking out the front

I for one won't miss this one - awful pub. I once saw the landlady so pissed she fell off her bar stool. Locals with any sense drink in the workingmens club next door. |
