Prince Of Wales Chatham

Walk down Railway Street towards the station and you'll spot the Prince of Wales tucked in amongst the working heart of Chatham. It's the sort of place where the bar staff know what you drink before you order, where the jukebox actually has decent tunes on it, and where you're just as likely to bump into a builder as you are someone from the offices. The food's straightforward—proper pub fare that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it is—and the ale selection punches above its weight. With nearly 750 reviews and a solid 4.2-star rating, this place has clearly earned its stripes with locals who appreciate a no-nonsense pint and somewhere that feels lived-in rather than designed.
