Found this timewarp pub around 3. We ère the only customers- where are all the drinkers in Sandgate on a Saturday? Forgot to note the ales - but two on. Sat with a sea view from the lower bar.

I had not been here since shortly before lockdown and was keen to return. Ron was on excellent form and we stayed for three pints instead of the originally intended one.

A first class pub, I enjoyed my visit here (although I did notice that I was missed out when a bowl of roast potatoes was passed around – perhaps I looked sufficiently well-fed already).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | | Golden, full-bodied, tasty and satisfying. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Weltons - Old Cocky | 4.30 | Not Tried |

Afternoon visit as 3rd stop on a leap year birthday bash bus trip for ChrisE. A surprisingly good buffet set out on the covered pool table, unhealthy of course but superb!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Hazy and must have been one of the last of a cask. Not off but an effort to finish and I failed at that |
| Tonbridge - Union Pale | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Ripple Steam - Farmhouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Early afternoon and I was the only customer. I had a good chat with the landlord and landlady. I was surprised to find that the pub dog is now seventeen years old.
