Still one of my favourite pubs in Hythe, and it is a pity that there is a planning application for change of use. I just had time for one pint before catching a bus.

A proper pub atmosphere, just like pubs used to be. I had a good chat with the landlord about Fremlins beers.

I came in as I had heard that this is now a Free House. A guest beer is now available, on this visit it was Wadworth Pussers Spearfish, and Wyre Piddle Revenge was coming soon. There were three real ciders and one perry available in addition to the real ales.
