NOTE this pub has changed hands since 2018 and is now trading under its original name.
Early afternoon visit, not normally opened on a Tuesday (nor a Monday) but they were getting ready for a wake and were happy to serve me. Friendly couple.

Lunchtime visit - busy with at least two groups of cyclists and others taking advantage of the Wednesday “bus-pass” special lunch menu.
I had an interesting chat with a septuagenarian cyclist who was mulling his Street Light Porter by plunging a red-hot poker into his pint. Novel.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Freewheel Gold | 3.90 | | Brewed for the pub - probably a variant of Foundy Man’s Gold - but slightly weaker and with a more hoppy bite. Excellent condition and flavour. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Torpedo | 4.50 | Not Tried | I was so impressed with the house ale that I didn’t try this. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Street Light Porter | 5.80 | Not Tried | Not officially on - but a local knew it was in the cellar and was being treated to some straight from the cask. |

Late afternoon visit, and, amazingly, another scribe has been in today too! Few people in, and several LocAle types on.

Sunday lunchtime - sat in the large garden and enjoyed the eclectic ambience of this pub. Clearly cycle-centric but not a chain (sic). I like it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Red Rye | 5.60 | | A full bodied ale with a lovely after-bite. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Man's Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | Looking forward to this - but ran out before a full pint was pulled. |

Early visit. The predicted bad weather meant the bus was taken. We came for a special bike parts sale taking place, in a large marquee in the garden. The roaring log fire was a welcome sight today. Good hot/cold food, in the cafe style seating area partaken, including a big selection of specialist teas. One handpump from Canterbury Ales was noted.
