‘Cheap pints, free pool and vaping at the bar - it’s a lager lover’s paradise’
A pub reviewer visits the Fountain of Ale in Sittingbourne, finding a lager-focused pub with cheap pints, free pool, and a relaxed atmosphere.Summary
The article is a pub review of the Fountain of Ale in Sittingbourne, Kent. The reviewer describes a lively town-centre pub that caters primarily to lager drinkers, with Camden Hells and San Miguel priced at £4.50 a pint—50p cheaper than Foster's, which costs a fiver. The pub offers a free pool table, football on five large screens, a dartboard, a jukebox, and plenty of TV screens, along with an old-fashioned wooden fireplace. The decor is a work in progress, with some areas already redecorated in sage green, while other features need attention. The barmaid was friendly and efficient, even as she vaped at the bar and defended the landlord's policy allowing vaping inside. The pub attracts a local crowd that is welcoming to newcomers. The reviewer notes the beer pulls are out of action, the Camden Pale Ale was a little vinegary, and the gents' toilet was out of order with no light, though another toilet was available. Overall, it is described as a lager lover's paradise.
