Sunday will be the last night that we will open the pub. We are extremely sad about this, as we have loved working in the Kenny for the past five and a half years. We have made a great many friends and have had a wonderful time. We would like to thank everyone for their love and support. It s a battle of money against the true spirit of what a pub should be about.
Real landlords have real spirit.
Ex-employee, The Gladstone. Last orders were called for the final time at two of Brighton s best loved boozers last week, when the New Kensington closed and the Gladstone changed hands. Evening Anus was there to try and probe into why two popular watering holes have been closed down. The New Kensington was one of 800 pubs who took action against their old owners Inntrepreneur. The company were forcing publicans to buy barrels of beer from their own suppliers, which would cost up to 100 more a barrel than they would be charged on the open market.
