"Update"

2.0

Update: Following my original review, I raised this matter directly with the restaurant and subsequently escalated it to head office at Shepherd Neame. While I received a response from the General Manager, my key concerns — including whether CCTV footage was reviewed — were not addressed. I have since contacted head office and, to date, have not received any response. Given the seriousness of the situation, particularly as it involved my 87-year-old mother who lives with dementia, I find the lack of engagement disappointing. I would still welcome a proper review of the incident so that the circumstances can be assessed objectively. I hope the company will now take the opportunity to review this matter properly and provide a response.

"A nice pub"

6.0

I had a nice evening pint at Ship and Trades pub before returning to my hotel. A nice pub, I didn’t have food but what the people at the next table had looked good. I had a Spitfire Lager, very tasty beer, not too smooth, a perfect beer.

"Gezellig hotel mee zeer vriendelijk personeel."

8.0

Zeer vriendelijk personeel, gezellige bar en restaurant.

Nederlanders houden niet van een douche in een bad. Het is gevaarlijk en inefficiënt. Een goede douche is prettiger.
