2nd visit of this outing to Broadstairs: Just opposite the Four Candles which shut on 31st December 2025 after being Thanet’s first-ever micropub, is this sizeable old Victorian pub on the corner of Sowell Street and St Peter's Road. In walking past the Four Candles now stripped of all its external signage, I was invited by the workman on site to come in and have a look around. I declined as was café-bound for a breakfast in Broadstairs’ High Street. He did though tell me it was re-opening as a micropub with two handpumps on and to be named Trigger’s Broom, based on a scene in tv sitcom, Only Fools and Horses, where the character, Trigger, was awarded a medal by his local council he road-swept for in claiming he had used the same broom for 20 years. In the scene, Trigger explained over all those years he had 17 new heads and 14 new handles. When asked how it can possibly be the same broom, he simply asks, "Well, here's a picture of it. What more do you want?" A good few in the Albion Inn but with no diners in evidence. A mix of bar stools, very comfy looking couches and standard tables and chairs. Friendly attentive service with three cask ales on, including two local ales from west of Ramsgate and just outside Manston Airport.

Busy but not overly so for early evening and prompt service.

Welcomed by a live band on my first visit to this quaint and highly restored backstreet Victorian gem of a pub. Full of appreciative customers. Got served straight away by cheerful barmaid.

3 ales on all at £4 a pint.

Spotted 4 ales on and a big crowd eating steak. Pub has been done up and looks good. The Norweign Blue was good according to my fellow drinkers.

Mike the landlord was behind the bar of the Albion opposite having taken over as temp Management. One beer on here, Four Candles ale at £3.60 a pint. 40p more than his own pub.

Evening. First visit here. For me the bright airy bistro style seemed out of place in this area of town. Couple of other customers.

Myself and a friend were trying to find some live music on a Sunday afternoon and this was our last resort. Haven't been here in years and its completely different inside. Part pub and part trendy wine bar, but it works I really liked it.

We had been in the Four Candles which is directly opposite this pub, and decided to pop in here for a bite to eat, I had never been in here but I liked it and intend to come again.
