The Maypole is an 18th Century free house located in the quiet and historic Borden village, close to Sittingbourne. It has a very cosy front bar with a wood-burning stove and a separate, larger, bar with comfy sofas and a dining area. The large garden also has a children's play area. The Maypole hosts a regular pub quiz on Wednesdays and a curry night on Tuesdays. A recent visit on 11 June 2018 found Doom Bar, Sharps Special, London Pride and a football named beer from Otter. Bus 8 serves Borden very infrequently.
