The final stop in Tony and my tour of the triangle-bus-route. The is truely an almighty pub. It was heaving and within 20 seconds of entering we were in conversation with the locals. No Martyn, which was a shame, but Gavin was doing an admirable job. Spent a lot of time laughing in here. Great pub to end a great tour.

| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | The only thing that would make this better were if they dropped it to 3.8%. Lovely beer. |
| Old Dairy - Copper Top | 4.10 | | I like Old Dairy for their solid basic flavours. |

The pub is found in Herne, Kent, CT6 7AN.
Once the Canterbury Beer Shop selling beer straight from the cask. It is now a pub (with the same owner as before) and still does off-sales which is fantastic! Voted CAMRA Kent Pub of the Year in 2008 and East Kent CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2009 (...and not surprisingly).
We have visited this pub 301 times, seen 118 different beers and tried 105 of them.
