Evelyn with Mike O'Connor from Greene King
Evelyn Miles leaves the Castle pub in Sevenoaks this week after appearing for 35 years behind the bar. Greene King who owns the pub gave the loyal landlady a fond farewell.
Mike O’Connor, regional manager for Greene King said, “Whilst Evelyn has been behind the bar she’s served over 1,260,000 pints of beer and today she’ll pour her final one. We thought it was about time she saw where all that beer comes from so we’ve invited her to a VIP brewery tour to start off her new life. We wish her a long and happy retirement and hope that the memories she has of being such a great landlady stay with her for years to come”.
When Evelyn started behind the bar a pint of beer was around 27p with pub food being a packet of pork scratchings or a pickled egg. Speaking about her time at the Castle, Evelyn said, “I’ve seen the pub business change over the years but one thing that’s remained the same is that customers want to feel welcome in a pub and they come to make friends. Here at the Castle, I’ve made sure everyone who comes through the door feels special and that’s been the best bit about running the pub for all this time”.

Evelyn intends to put her feet up for a well earned rest now and is looking forward to being the other side of the bar for many years to come.
