Ah, so this is West Hythe, I didn't know. A large industrial looking shed with lots of beers. Very popular with walkers and cyclist by the looks of the clientele. A little cold but perfectly pleasant.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Romney Marsh - Murmuration4.00AcceptableBrown earthy bitter, either lacking condition or just not well integrated. Given Romney are a good brewer I'm guessing the former.

Late lunchtime- a swift one before tackling the lung-busting climb up the hill. Drizzly, so no one outside. A group of golfers inside chatting about par this and that and getting totally muddled between ABV and degrees proof when discussing the strengths of exotic spirits. Tried a Unit 1 IPA at 4.2 but it was cold and fizzy. My mistake - not obvious it was keg.

Busy as expected for a mid Sunday afternoon given the fine weather. No tables free outside so I opted for one of the few available inside.

This has really developed since the picture taken in 2016 - good seating, large umbrellas and even some outdoor heating - not needed today. Well exercised COVID precautions. I sat outside in the warms sunshine with about 30 others. Good table service and a couple of excellent Hop Fuzz beers.

Short walk with the family along the canal and then we were inside just after 12 bagging the comfy corner table (an upcycled cable drum) next to the wood burning stove. By the time we’d finished our drinks, and rather good bake potatoes, all tables inside and out were occupied - each with a dog it would seem. We like this place.

Saturday afternoon and the rain was coming down so a good number of walkers and cyclists took refuge in here. My friend was impressed that his glass had both half pint and one third litre measure lines.
