Pub openings
The Duke of Edinburgh, Maidstone
The Duke of Edinburgh offers Sky Sports and BT Sports, and customers can play pool, darts, shove ha’penny and petanque. An official launch party was held on 17 September.
The first pint was pulled by Brian Tree, a regular at the pub for more than 40 years.
Shepherd Neame chief executive Jonathan Neame attended the event, and to mark the occasion presented a cheque for £500 to Demelza Hospice Care for Children. He said: “The Duke of Edinburgh is a characterful pub in a great location, and we are delighted with the results of the makeover, which we hope will enable it to achieve its full potential.”
