Quiz night at the Drum Inn, Thursday 1st Oct

This Thursday, get in quick

Short notice, but enjoy if you go it is for charity... a fish supper as a prize is an odd one, unless you're pretty confident of winning won't you eat before you go? Or are they hoping to sell a meal to everyone who doesn't win? Oh, I guess you don't have to eat your prize on the night... The food in The Drum is good.

Ray and his team of question setters are working hard to get everything finalised so it promises to be a fun evening. Michael and Suzi (landlords of the Drum) are kindly providing us with a snack at minimal cost and giving away a fish and chip supper to the winning team.

All money raised from the evening will go to the Kent MS Therapy Centre, Canterbury which is a charity that relies heavily on fundraised income. We have 24 people doing a sponsored bike ride in Jordan in less than two weeks and the money raised from the quiz night will be credited to my sponsorship target for this event but as all my costs are covered every penny of this money will go to the charity.

There will also be a raffle on the evening with the chance to win some great prizes.

Please do all you can to help get a few more teams as the more we have will mean we will raise more money to help provide therapies for people with MS in Kent. Also it will be a great night out so everyone is a winner.

The Drum Inn Stanford North

Hi There,

My partner and I went to the Drum inn today for lunch as we love the pub and location.

We looked at the menu on the wall and asked about the soup of the day, which was tomato. I asked the barperson if the soup was freshly made, which she didn't know, she just said the chef makes it up, so I asked is it tinned and she replied no. So we both ordered the soup, i then ordered their Lambs Liver and Bacon and my partner had the Snapper.

When the soup came to us, it looked awful. We had a baguette which was cooked from froazen, then halved for us both. I started to taste the soup and immediately realised it was powdered soup as there were lumps congealed at the bottom of the bowl. I approached the barperson and she said she'll take it off the bill, so we waited another 30 minutes for our food to come through. We were not impressed at all with the soup as they were charging £4 each for this.

When our food arrived, my mash potato was transparent and very unappealing to look at, i wnt to cut into a peice of liver and blooc come out of it. My partenr's snapper was dried up and again looked awful.

I approached Landlord who did not seem very concerned and just said what's wrong with it in a tone that did not show any level of customer service. I informed him the liver had blood coming from it and he went over to look for himself, saw it and said nothing.

I paid for my two drinks and suggested he sack his chef otherwise he'll end up loosing a lot of money. his comment was he's just taken over the pub.

This is really sad as this pub is so nice and to have someone running it with this approachreally lets kent down.

I would never go back to this pub again even to drink.
