Hannover Arms is just around the corner. It does get pretty busy but they normally have loads of staff on and not too long a wait for a beer. Plenty of space to stand outside as well.
I'm going to the game tomorrow with a few friends but as I haven't been to the Oval before, I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a decent pub nearby that we could go to before the game?
The Beehive is the best & it's right by the ground. (I've been to all those mentioned).
The Roebuck, through the flats behind Archbishop Tenison's School.
I went there last year. It's nowhere near as nice as The Beehive & 10 mins further away from the ground. It's further away, because you have to go through a council estate to get to it. Sorry :-)
As someone mentioned above Soton, it's easy to get lager in the ground. Lots of outlets and those people with beer packs on their backs. Sometimes the queues for bitter's can be a pain though.
It's a Kent thing.... Chris Cowdrey got one game before they changed their minds
Chris broke his foot and by the time he recovered his Godfather (who was chairman of selectors) had quite rightly been replaced. Chris Cowdrey only ever first played for England because of his name, his Dad, the SAB Rebels, IT Botham's non-availability, his friendship with the England captain of the time (Lubo was his Best Man) etc etc......
Nice bloke but gave his kids ridiculous names and Grahame was a much better cricketer and doesn't play the Toff card like CSC does.

Had the misfortune to play cricket with Chris's sons a couple of times. Completely spoilt brats. Heard Fabian is now a pro with Kent now though.

PS I'm afraid they are forecasting rain :-)
Here's The Roebuck. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/22/22150/Roebuck/Kennington
Of subject a bit, but I do love Bumble
The shortest ever in international cricket?
