Here for the wake of lynnes mom Wendy.First visit in a few years. Didn't find out the cost of a pint till the free bar ran out. Nice spread, as you would expect. Lots of people of a certain age here all afternoon. Good value food when compared to other local pubs.

Three beers on but Angies parents after a trip to Thanet now know which one to pick and its not Harveys or gloombar!
BeerABVScoreNotes
Weltons - US Congress5.00Excellent£3.60 a pint but Eastbourne is more expensive than Thanet and Maidstone. Our guests talked about how similar this beer was to the one they had in the yard of ale 6 weeks earlier. How a good pubs beer can influence an individual!!
