Pubs

[Guest]

Are there any decent pubs in Gravesend or Northfleet? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/bounceblue.gif" alt="" /> [color:"purple"] [/color]

No.

Gravesend is over 3 miles away from the ground & you'd want to leave the A2 at the Northfleet junction, which comes after the 2 for Gravesend.

 

I always recommend 'The Rose,' which is a 3 minute walk from the ground. As you begin to descend the hill towards the ground look out for a turning on your left signed "Railway Street, leading to Rose Walk." The pub is just down there. This left turn is the one before the one by the kebab shop.

 

Good 'Master Brew' - gets into Camra's 'Good Beer Guide.' Landlord's a 'Fleet fan, but doesn't mind the opposition popping in. Only any good for a few though. Far too small for shed loads. If there's loads of you, try 'The Leather Bottle' further back on the main road. 'The Plough,' right on the turnstiles will probably be heaving with Fleet fans & I wouldn't blame the landlord for not wanting obvious opposition supporters in there after what some morons from Colchester did a few years back.

 

Cheers. Enjoy the game.

interesting fact- gravesend(at least once did) had the greatest number of pubs per person in the uk. This was because we had all of the people who worked on the river "back in the day",also we had the people stopping off on the way to london, not sure if the fact is still true today. probably not.
