Prince of Ales, Gillingham

First of the day's numerous Medway Micros. It’s wood heavy and it has an alehouse feel, with the seating put together nicely including a couple of booth-like structures. Interior sports a plethora of old pump clips and lots of old local black and white photos. No bar so it’s table service, which the locals in situ were quick to inform me of and the old boy serving was over in a flash. Four cask with a good range and 10 ciders, my Magpie Best was off stillage and was in good nick, if not a brew I much rated (NBSS 3.5). Plenty of middle-aged male banter firmly rooted in the 70’s school of humour. I enjoyed my stop and was my pub of the day in a trip encompassing Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham and Strood. I’d make a point of going back.
