One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A short way down the hill from the King’s Arms is another multi-roomed pub which has developed over the years, colonising a former cottage on the left and now a warren of no less than five rooms. We start with the tiny public bar at the front, at a lower level than the rest, where the servery (old counter and bar-back) takes up half the space, allowing little room for drinkers. You may enjoy the intimate little room behind with a large fireplace and hatch to the servery. This is linked by a charmingly narrow passage behind the servery to a larger room on the right which has two different styles of wall panelling and a cooking range: has this long been here or is it an import: it does not look particularly old? On the left are two simply appointed, linked rooms set within the former cottage. There was extensive refurbishment about 2013 when most of the woodwork was painted a Farrow & Ball blue or a light blue-grey which does mightily little for the historic ambience.

General information about historic pub interiors

Situated in a wonderful cobbled street which leads to Upnor Castle on the River Medway, this multi roomed pub has a tiny public bar. On a lower level to other rooms, the front bar retains its original bar counter which takes up half of the room leaving only standing room. It has genuine old bar back shelves, old half panelling and hatches either side of the servery for service to other rooms. To the right a small carpeted panelled room, probably a kitchen in the past as it contains a range fireplace, has some old bench seating and has a cut away dolls house style model of the pub and three of its rooms. A very narrow passage runs to the rear room which has old half height panelling, a fireplace with a range added to it and a counter that looks more modern than old.

To the left are two more rooms - the font has bare wood floor, old tiled and wood surround fireplace and old half height panelling with one wall having a mural of a Tudor ship. Through a doorway and up a step is a smaller carpeted room with another cast, (modern) tiled and wood surround fireplace, some old half height panelling.

Use the village car park.
