Yes, WordPress just reminded me this will be my 2,000th post. It’ll be 2,500 once I’ve written up BRAPA’s visit to the Angel in Ramsey. As you know I’m a big advocate of tradition, and tradition dictates a landmark post is exciting, topical and memorable. Luckily, the Tyler’s Kiln a mile north of Kent University… Continue reading LET’S ALL MEET UP AT THE POST 2,000

FAVERSHAM FEEDING FRENZY
Next stop Dover for Matt’s post-hardcore gig, and a chance to evaluate the state of preparations for Britain’s latest car park (aka the M26). Oddly, Google Maps then sent us via the M2, forcing a late change in GBG-driven lunch plans. Ah, Faversham. Underrated as a pub destination due to some folk’s preference for Harvey’s… Continue reading FAVERSHAM FEEDING FRENZY
BYE BYE MALTA, HELLO MALT

All of our other towns have their merits, even Ashford. And nearly all pubs have some appeal, although an Ember Inn in Maidenhead (is there such a creature ?)… Continue reading IN DEFENCE OF SHEPS
A FAVERSHAM FEAST
The major drawback of our campervan is finding a parking space. Luckily Faversham has a giant Food Hall with unlimited opportunity for old folk to prove they can’t park, and none of those irritating white lines you have to park between. Macknade Fine Foods is one of those barns full of Hungarian olives, Welsh octopus… Continue reading A FAVERSHAM FEAST
THE IMPERIAL, SOUTHBOROUGH
It’s only in the last few years that our regular trips to the in-laws have become bearable. By that, I mean of course the pubs in Tunbridge Wells have improved, as Paul Bailey has reported recently. Little Southborough isn’t Tunbridge Wells though. What it gains in views over the Weald it loses in terms of any… Continue reading THE IMPERIAL, SOUTHBOROUGH
