The Compass Ale House - Gravesend's First Micro Pub

11/09/2026

A quick weekly round up. We have a new website which we are tweaking, but you can now log in (if you want) keep track of your favourite b**rs, review them etc. See the b**r boards in real time (subject to staff updating 🤣, and keep track of what's going on.

We have arranged, courtesy of Mr & Mrs Jazz, a butter chicken, and a chick pea curry for Friday the 25th, so we can start our 12th anniversary party early!

I can confirm that the compass has been shortlisted in the Gravesham Business Awards, so thank you all for your support (The $5000 dollars will be paid to everyone if we win😉).

Yes we support the RNLI, Yes we have signed and shared the petition to stop kids getting hold of catapults and slingshots. Why the Five 0 aren't doing more to stop the killing of wildlife I don't know🤷‍♂️.
No we don't support balaclava wearing wife beaters protecting us from f**k knows what. No we don't believe Trump was rescued by Firemen.

Yes we do sell good b**r, and a pork pie to go with it if needed.
