Early lunchtime - not very busy but a 45 minute wait for food. Seemed understaffed.

2pm visit, and much needed relief from the wind today. Full house with many cupid's in attendance. A top beer menu, so like a proper 'Belgium Bar'!

Lunchtime New Year's Day. Busy with families eating. No real ale unfortunately so I settled for a Biddendens cider and a Grimbergen from the tap. A very lively atmosphere with good, reasonably priced food.

Early evening dining visit. Well run and firmly established (10 years). Very busy, and so reminiscent now of any good café bar in Belgium. Decent and very respectable, 100+ bottled beer menu and quality food to match. A 'must do' when visiting Ramsgate.

Westmalen at £7.20 on draught too expensive for us. Several draught beers, mostly Belgian. Very nice place off the beach.
