Gay bar sevenoaks

Home Secret Drinker Article. It was the biggest day for the English national team for more than half a century but one pub sevenoaks itself a footie-free zone, gave the chef a day off and ignored all the hysteria. Popping into the Ship Inn at the Chatham end of Rochester High Street for a lunchtime loosener before the big match I walked past a local enjoying a smoke on the doorstep before realising it was the barman.

I ordered the closest thing to bitter on tap, a pint of Shipyard Pale Ale while Ben explained his boss has three other pubs bar always paints them the same shades of purple. Bar, apparently the top man isn't loving the colour here and is planning to change it to blue — I agreed anything would be a huge improvement.

He explained it closed down some time ago and now only opens for special occasions so he likes to be neighbourly and keep an eye on the comings and goings around the place. His observations on the local Jewish community were interrupted by diminutive Molly who entered the bar through a door at the back wearing a massive England shirt at least seven sizes too big for her that looked more like a dress.

Although Molly, and Ben, and the boss, all live above the pub she generally works at another of his pubs, which was planning to show the footie. Whether I was pre-occupied with concerns the Azzurri would beat us on penalties or was simply sleepwalking and failed to notice gay massive Rainbow flag on the ceiling where everyone else was flying St George's, it suddenly dawned on me, this is a gay bar.

Never afraid of a swift conversation change, Ben next explained that whilst the whole place had recently been redecorated the gents missed out as the builders ran out of time. He was adamant no expense had been spared on the ladies and, as they are much better and no-one was around, he insisted I take a look.

However, as an ex-plumber, he also felt it necessary to tell me ladies are much less careful with their toilets and at one point they were sevenoaks through three seats a week. I just agreed they looked much smarter. Tantalisingly there was a blackboard displaying several meals — and roasts are usually available on a Sunday — but to be fair Gay had already been informed food wasn't being served because of the big match.

Gay Club in Sevenoaks

It was an interesting experience to be the only customer in and have the full attention of a chatty barman but I might need to revisit to sample the real Sevenoaks Inn. Drink: The Shipyard was okay but I switched across to the Kronenbourg, which was also fine, though perhaps just a little on the flat side. Food: Bar roast would usually be available but the boss was so sure no-one would be eating out because of the footie he had given the chef a gay off.

Staff: Ben, ably supported by his comic sideshow Molly, provided great entertainment and was, by some distance, the best thing about this high street pub. Read all Secret Drinker's reviews here.
