Busy and boisterous mid evening mostly attracting younger folk - I sat at a table by the billiard table and didn't enjoy my beer.

Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Genesis3.50UndrinkableInsipid malty syrup - vile! Unsure if it's meant to taste like that hence one sip and the rest went down the sink in the Gents.

Lunchtime visit as a drink stop on a cycle from Canterbury to Greenwich. A good few people in but not overly busy - I really liked the pub - good beer selection, reasonable prices a good estuary view from the first floor outside decked area - oh, and they have a bar billiards table!

Iron Pier - Rytes4.50GoodI don’t usually like flavoured beer - but the hint of ginger in this was fine. A very nice pint.

Early Saturday evening and a good crowd in (which is more than can be said for the pub next door which looked almost empty). I sat and enjoyed my pint in a good friendly pub.

Early lunchtime visit and not yet busy. I liked the feel of this pub; multi-roomed, and an astonishing slope to the floor in the main bar, and the great maritime photos and prints in the middle bar.
