    I'd never think of going to the Royal Oak for Sunday lunch ..
    Just The Clarence Tavern (once was enough; it's now partly a delicatessen) and the Royal Oak, which likewise I wouldn't dream of visiting for lunch. You'd certainly get the Grauniad foodies in the Clarence; I once saw the rather lovely Jess Cartner-Morley walking past a few years ago.

    Me too! Much of my pub visiting involves troughing, but I tend to only really relish roasts indoors: pub staff seem incapable of carving properly, and no one can make decent gravy.

    I have done 4, but have certainly never had a Sunday lunch in any of them!
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Music in pubs is a total turn off for me, but here goes.Only been to Pearson's Arms, and not greatly impressed .

    It's a zero from me ,I'm ashamed to say that I have hardly been to any pubs in Kent apart from the odd pint here and there on away trips to Gillingham.

    Just about the only pubs I've been to in Kent were in Sevenoaks, which isn't really the place where you'd find music pubs; Gloria Hunniford lives there.

    Did the Lady Luck in Canterbury on a quiet afternoon and it was ok. Have also done the Market, Market House and Pearsons in the dim and distant past. None of them with music, although I don't mind a good music pub. Except when it gets in the way of a crawl...
