Website

Known locally as the Glass House, this large Wetherspoon house is close to the main station and is a well-lit building with glass walls. A fireplace stands in the middle of the main area. There is a large enclosed patio at the rear for smokers and anyone requiring fresh air or a quieter space as it can be noisy at busy times. News and main sporting fixtures are shown on screens (sound off). Meet the Brewer events are occasionally held in addition to twice-yearly ale festivals. At least four beer pumps are kept for guest beers and two for cider. Meals may be taken in all areas but the raised section looking out towards the station and street are favourite. A quiz is held every Monday evening.

Information for this venue is provided by the Maidstone & Mid Kent Branch of CAMRA
