Mid afternoon - a good number of customers, some eating. Not really a micro - two bar areas, one with booths, and a reasonable sized menu. Good feel to it - lots of memorabilia and pub clutter. I like it.

This great micro has no beer garden but fortunately the small engineering firm across the road has kindly allowed the pub to use some spare yard space as a beer garden and it works a treat, socially distanced benches, hand sanitizer station and chemical toilets and urinals all in place. Great 👍

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells4.70Excellent
Mighty Oak - Captain Bob3.80ExcellentLoved this, such a refreshing change to have a beer with such a heavy malt character that’s balanced well with dry hop notes. In an age of over hoppy beers this was an excellent pint of proper bitter.

Wensleydale - Black Dub Stout4.40GoodVery nice stout with hints of coffee
