This traditional town pub is as described by others, below. We found it welcoming, friendly and convivial, but sadly there is no cask ale or real cider on offer. Apparently no-one drinks it any more. Notwithstanding the friendly locals and helpful bar staff, the lack of ale means I’m unlikely to return given the presence of other pubs nearby.

There was no cask on at all 03/08 let alone any Gemstone. There's been no Untappd for said brewery since mid 2023.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Fishermans Arms
Fairly basic, edge-of-town-centre Shepherd Neame boozer Fisherman's Arms, albeit now completely free-of-tie (retaining the company's exterior signage but none of its draught beers). Otherwise seems little changed since my previous visit some five years ago, with a dark rectangular bar at the front (with traditional decor) and a smaller and lighter rear seating area with more modern furniture. Home of the Gemstone Brewery, with Sapphire (£3.00) being one of two beers on handpump, the other being Nelson Trafalgar as a guest. Keg offerings include two more Nelson beers: Powder Monkey and Dogwatch Stout. Not great, but still a welcome change from the noisy, overpriced bars in the middle of Maidstone.
