A small walk, but the Old House At Home is looking good after its refurb, and even had a Championship game on last week. Doom Bar is now £2.20 midweek and £2.40 weekends, down from £3.60 before lockdown. Although those prices are attracting a slightly different clientele. Still the best proper pub in the town centre. Once watched an England game in there and someone spilled my mates pint. Apologetic, he bought him another, as well as a shot 'to say sorry'. He dropped the Sambuca into the lager and told him it was called 'a suicide pint' (or something, God knows) and said he had to down it. That's my residing memory of TOHAH but it's somewhere I used to go a lot! |

After, walked past 20 to 30 in the Old House At Home and tried the newly opened and completely empty Made Inn down Bank Street. Apparently run by the original Cellars owners. A bewildering 30 cask ales and ciders priced between £5 and £6 a pint. Pinball, table football and retro arcade game. No fruit machines. One innovation is a canning machine so you can take home whatever you like. Hope they do well, but you can get equally good beer at the Flower Pot a lot cheaper. At those prices they will die a quick death. |

They’re expanding on the success of their Ashford bar. The demographic is more Elvis End than Main Stand. No idea how the finances work, but always assumed independents were cheaper than pubcos. Would go occasionally with friends, but not every week. You do love a pub, barney |

I am sorry as this is not a Maidstone pub but one of my favourite pubs and music venues the PARK INN HOTEL in Folkestone will be pulling its last pints on New Year's eve and will then close for good. Bloody Covid has a lot to answer for. GUTTED!

The ales are going down a treat. I’m glad I found the cellars ale house. It’s a nice little hidden gem of a pub. Deco is amazing.

I walked by at 12.45 and it was shut. Maybe next time. Edit. Even the Old House At Home is shut to all but regulars. Nasty Sheps at the ground it is then. I am in the OHAH and I'm not regular, I'm 5XL😁 |

I’d have bought you a pint. Are they preparing for the influx of churchgoers later this week? I know nothing about Churchgoers but admission today was controlled because Chelsea were on the box and they didn't want too many in there. What's this about churchgoers then? |

Cellars ale house is openings at 1:00pm today if anyone fancy’s a pint of real ale or cider.
It’s always a nice walk to the ground along the river too

Right, since the fall of the Swan, where is the best place to watch football near the ground? Feel there's a real lack up that end of town to watch televised games, and the only one i've found is the Duke Of Marlbrough but that's usually quite busy. Anywhere else?? Not near the ground, unless you hop on the train to barracks station, but Feathers in the Lockmeadow centre does football. Greene King food pub, with a younger crowd. Who are these young beardy blokes wearing shirts of football clubs hundreds of miles from Maidstone? The Feathers is awful. Had one of the worst pub meals ever in there. Service was appalling and unless Greene King is your thing the beer's not great (worse than Shep's worst in my opinion). |

Not been there Dave but Greene King pubs are in deed shit outside of Bury St Edmunds |

I have today,02/12/21 visited two sheps pubs in Maidstone. The Royal Albion was a disgrace allowing me a pint of the once renowned Hurlimann lager that is now akin to pisswater. The Market House did at least offer me a bottle of 1668, alas it hurts when I see what Sheps have done to one of my favourite music venues.
