Sir John Franklin - Dartford

We used to pop in often for a quick drink after work or out for a walk. We've not bothered for some time now as the landlord are such faceaches. People in the pub business should be welcoming, friendly and helpful this husband and wife team are the opposite. The husband seems to be the worse of the two, preferring to be customer side of the bar or pouring himself drinks than his customers. Very strange business...

I was waiting to be served for at least 10 or 15 minutes . Fair enough it was busy . But when it came to my turn to be served she was more concerned about glasses . So ok waited a bit longer still didn't serve me . Lol glasses was much more important . We been customers for years . Our regular . We walked out . Christmas eve . Merry Christmas lol

We visited this pub for dinner and was part of the night crowd that arrived later. I noticed the guy behind the bar was very drunk which was funny at first but then we watched him stay bullying his customers and even barred one bloke embarrassing him in front of everyone. I've since heard that this was the landlord and he has barred over 100 people in the last 5 years! I did wonder because it seems a lot emptier when i drive past. I think The Sir John Franklyn Private W s Club is a more accurate description. Shame, my dad and granddad drank in this pub so hopefully the twatty owner can move on and give the community it's pub back!!!!

Came here for a few beers one Friday night, it an old fashioned pub with plenty of character and a decent seating area outside. The drink prices are reasonable and it’s always easy to get a drink. Worth a visit if you fancy some nice beers by the river

The owner and bar staff at this pub were extremely unwelcoming and had disgusting attitudes. I felt so upset by the whole experience that I left after just one drink, not wanting to support such behavior with my money.
