13:00 visit. Late on "duty" today having had a Hoppy overload the night before! And two years after creating this listing, I return to the East Kent area for a long weekend! A windy but pleasant day. The preserved two car Diesel EMU was running up and down the line and the barbecue smelt good. There was a small stillage in a marquee, serving a selection of ales from Lancashire and Kent only, plus some Kent ciders too. Some familiar local faces in the crowd including fellow P&B scribe ChrisE. A good four hour session was had before moving on.

A pleasant day out to visit their second beer festival, my first visit and very impressive too. A large marquee at Eyethorne Station, accessed via a 10 minute ride on a preserved 2-car Diesel train. Emphasis on Locale' with Gadds being the main sponsor. The Gadd's ales were very good too. Recommended.
