I would say pop by ours in the countryside, but it's not en route, alas. Gillingham's bars are a bit shabby.

Will Adams: Another pub a few hundred yards from the railway station and ten minutes or so walk to the ground. Popular with home supporters on matchdays - the landlord, who has been there over a decade, is a fan - but welcoming away fans too. The regular beers were Summer Lightning and London Pride on our visit last season, plus up to three guests. There's a cider, usually Old Rosie but sometimes another variety, and Budweiser Budvar lager - that's the 'proper' one for anybody who has only previously experienced some disgusting Yank rip off of the name - on draught. Has pool and darts. Food available at lunchtimes -basic fare but good enough for all that. Standard opening is 12.00 noon - 3.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. - 11.00 p.m., but the pub opens at 11.30am on Saturdays when Gillingham are at home.
