'The Village Pub In The Heart Of Medway'
Brompton is a small village in the Medway Towns between Chatham and Gillingham and is only a few minutes walk from the front entrance to the famous Chatham Historic Dockyard.
The village pub was built in 1690 and overlooks the park. It specialises in real ales, Belgian beers and malt whiskies. Hot food is available while the pub is open but a big selection of dishes is served each lunchtime and evening. The Sunday roast is so popular you could be disappointed if you don't book.
The letting rooms include a four-poster bedroom which overlooks the village green and a family |

room with a double and a single bed. Nearby Chatham Historic Dockyard boasts scores of attractions including Dickens World, the ropery, the RNLI national museum and a variety of old warships.
The bar area is decorated with naval and military memorbilia as it is walking distance from Brompton Barracks, the HQ of the Royal Engineers, whose officers often use the pub. There are also many links with the Navy from the times that ships from the Royal Navy used to dock at Chatham.
The King George V is perfect if you are on business or visiting the area for pleasure, so come to see us soon. We are listed in 'The Good Beer Guide' and we are ' Cask Marque' accredited. | |

Live Music Night - 29th January
Live acoustic music sessions are now a vital part of the King George V. They took a while to get off the ground but are now an eagerly awaited monthly event.
The next one is around eight o'clock on the last Sunday of this month and continues until closing time. |
Our Monday Club has really taken off. It began on January 4th - 2010 with £30 in the kitty and increases each week by £10 if there's no winner in the bar. Anyone can join - all you need to do is fill out a form to register. Then you have to be in the bar between 5pm and 7pm each Monday for a chance to win.
The Monday Club Total Stands At
£140.00 |

John & Diane have run the pub for more than seven years during which time they have embarked on a massive refurbishment of the building.
John, who spent many years as a BBC journalist, moved into pubs after becoming a member of the British Guild of Beer Writers. Diane uses her extensive culinery skills to produce some of the most wholesome food to be served in the Medway Towns.
There is always something going on at the King George V. So we have broken our website down into five sections, the pub, menus, the tipples, events and a section on photos, etc. See below for a selection of our webpages:
You can also add a comment on Facebook straight from this site about the new beers, etc, or Bookmark this page to check the Latest News below. |

NEW YEAR CHEER
It’s a New Year, a fresh start and an exciting time at the KGV. That’s because we have so many new ideas and events planned to kick off 2012. Sit back and read through this latest edition of the KGV News to find out more. Then take home a copy to make sure you have all the dates at your fingertips.
STEAK THURSDAYS
From next month we will have a special steak night each Thursday – starting on February 2nd. We will offer a rib-eye steak with fries, peas and tomato with a glass of draught wine for just £7-50 or £7 if you are a Monday Club member.
PIZZA DEAL
Just a reminder of our permanent pizza deal. You can have one of our 12" pizzas for just £5 on any afternoon from Tuesday through until Saturday between 1300 and 1700. On a Monday the offer applies from 1500 until closing time.
CHRISTMAS GIFT
We hope you enjoyed our little Christmas gift of a shopping bag. Don’t be alarmed if you are shopping and you see John or Diane taking a photograph of you. If we spot you out with your bag we will take a picture and one will be chosen each month and featured on our Facebook page. If you see it and let us know, you will win a Thursday steak meal for two people. So get that bag out in full view when you go shopping and just hope that one of us spots you!
ESMOND HOUSE
Thanks to your wonderful generosity, 13 residents from Esmond House in Brompton enjoyed a free Christmas party at the KGV. They had a three course Christmas lunch with whatever they wanted to drink. The next day we received the following message: ‘Many thanks for your generous hospitality yesterday, the tenants had a wonderful time and are still talking about it this morning. The food was delicious and the staff very attentive. Please pass on our thanks to all of your customers who raised the funds to give the elderly in our community a wonderful Christmas treat.’ We will be doing the same again next year, so please keep the charity tube topped up!

CHRISTMAS RAFFLE
The top prize of £350 has now been collected by winners Julian & Veronica Mugeridge. You can see a photo of them with their cash on the KGV Facebook page. Almost all of the other prizes have now been claimed, but please take a look at the list in the pub to see if you have won an unclaimed prize.
CHARITY CASH
Your charity generosity is impressive. Recently we have donated £182.13 to the Royal British Legion, £47.81 to the Kent Air Ambulance and £40.20 to the RNLI.
The Help for Heroes recent total is £160. We gave £41 to the British Association for Fostering and Adoption, £50 to the Rochester Choral Society during the Christmas carol singing evening here and then there’s the cash for the Esmond House Christmas party. Thanks to all of you who made donations!
RUM CLUB
Our next meeting is on Monday 16th January here at the KGV. We hope to have a guest speaker but if we don’t the evening will still involve tasting a few rums with a light snack. The December meeting was a Caribbean party and you can see a couple of photos of the evening on the KGV Facebook page. We are planning a trip to Gibraltar in May, so please come along from 1930 if you fancy getting involved.
CALENDAR
Don’t forget to keep your KGV Christmas card because there is a useful calendar on the back page. You can cut it away from the rest of the card and stick it up somewhere prominent as a quick glance reference to 2012.
WARNING
The New Year has arrived and brewers consider this a perfect time to impose price increases. There have been several rises already and more are likely. We won’t put up prices yet, but in time it will become inevitable.

BURNS NIGHT
The KGV Whisky Society is having its Burns Night supper at the pub on Saturday 28th of January. That is a private party for the pub and is a sell-out.
KGV WALKS
The January walk from the KGV saw several new faces who have promised they will be back. It was from the Strand in Gillingham along to Riverside Park and the weather was perfect. On Saturday 4th February it’s back to a normal Terry & Lesley led walk after their holidays. Be at the KGV at 1000 if you want to join us.
DRINKS DEALS
Until they run out, we have a few blended Scotch whiskies for just £2 a shot. We also have a new energy drink – Red Alert – which we are offering at just £1 if you buy a shot of vodka. There are limited stocks and when they run out the offers end!
TRIVIA COMPETITION
We are going to hold a trivia pursuit competition at the KGV. We need teams of upto four people. When we have enough teams, a draw will be made and it will be upto each team to fix a date to play their opposing team here at the KGV. If you are interested, please give the bar staff your details.
