2nd visit of the outing: What a pity I had just missed as approaching the main road from the Monty the every 10-minutes Loop bus to Broadstairs. To commiserate that loss, a quick visit to this olde worlde pub exuding charm beckoned. It seemed just the right tonic to cheer me up. An amble along the main road and then set back in a quiet side street, I was met with a very warm welcome and friendly service. Good banter with one of the locals over a very decent half. Needless to say. I just made it for the next Loop bus and along to my favourite Broadstairs' café. This was not one of Gadds' Brewery's acquisitions but called Ed's.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | Head and lacing and lasting to die for on this Kentish Best from St Nicholas-at-Wade, south-west of Birchington-on-Sea. A very moreish bitter first bite. A dry bitterness rising with a pleasant hoppiness from its Kent Bullion hops. A subtle maltiness competing. A winning bitter dryness sailing out. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - Crunch | 5.40 | | Quality peanut stout, normally found on keg, but boss sourced it specially. Told me he was selling it at a bargain £5 instead of the £6.50 it should be.Couldn't sell it in Ramsgate at that price. Lucky us. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | Not very enjoyable |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells | 4.70 | Not Tried | £3.95 a pint as 3 of the beers were. |

Frank sinatra's My-Way was followed by Queens' We are the Champions. Never been here before, mainly due to its opening hours. I like it. Reminds me of the 1970's.

Evening. Another visit on my Loop bus route tour. Friendly traditional local. Still has a hanging 20 "bullet" Underberg leather strap, albeit empty. Not seen one of these for years.

This pub has so much potential, it's one of the prettiest pubs I've ever seen. Shame to see it not getting the treatment it deserves. It's not a bad pub by any means, but it could easily be one of the best.
