Well I was down this end of town and felt like a change. Fair few dinners in and mainly families.

| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | | Again I just felt like a change. Lively. Tasted a bit like watered down orange with a rough bitter finish. |

Went in on a sunny afternoon while my wife was shopping, chatted to the barman, who was telling me that they are trying to get away from the sudent reputation and get more real-ale based clients, which is nice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | | Not too bad, but nothing special, as a lot of master brew. Nice hoppy aroma. |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Corner Shepherd Neame pub in Canterbury High Street, here with Andrew as well. Was an Oranges bar but now reconverted back to its old name. 3 beer engines plus some continental bottled beers
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | | Fine nothing wrong with it but nothing special either |
