More on KentOnline
After years of travelling the length and breadth of Kent looking for the perfect pub, KentOnline’s Secret Drinker is getting some company.
Starting tomorrow, our undercover female reporter will be bringing readers In the Mix - a fortnightly column reviewing wine bars, cocktail lounges and other upmarket venues.
Written from a woman’s perspective, she will be looking for the county’s best and worst nights out.
Bars in Canterbury, Aylesford, Margate and Sheppey have already been visited with scores of other locations on her list.
She explained: “It’s my mission to seek out quality venues and shine a light on the ones which could do a lot better.
“These places often charge the earth, but are they worth the cost and effort of visiting? I’m going to find out.
“I have high standards and will be totally anonymous - staff and owners will have no idea I’ve visited until they see KentOnline.
“These businesses need to raise their game as In the Mix will be pulling no punches.”
The new column will complement the ever-popular Secret Drinker who will continue to bring us his entertaining pub reviews every Friday.
Since he began his quest in 2019, he has visited more than 200 boozers across the county - offering views on everything from the quality and cost of a pint to the ambience of the pub and the state of the loos.
