Busy inside and out but managed to get a table inside with three others on this micro-pub trail of Herne Bay. This one literally on the Pier is one of two local taprooms of local brewery, Goody Ales.

Lunchtime in the sunshine. This has expanded since my last visit to two huts joined with a covered area to form an indoor seating area. No need for it today - our micro pub group of seven swelling the numbers of al fresco drinkers. Nice vibe here - shame about the plastic glasses.

A pleasant beer whilst sitting at a table on the pier. The tables were clearly labelled "table service only" but as far as I could see everyone was ordering at the bar so I did the same. There was a very good range of Goody Ales on offer, I did not make a note of them.

Lunchtime - our monthly micropub trips have been able to resume - albeit outside at one place so far. A bit breezy, causing a couple of minor incidents with nearly empty plastic glasses flying off the tables. Good banter at arms length.

A family trip to for some fun on the pier. Whilst others were enjoying the bouncy castle I enjoyed a swift half.

Another first for me, this beach hut conversion was busy inside, we were lucky enough to have fine weather today so sat outside watching folk making the most of it.

Isabel and I went crab fishing off the pier and when we got board of pulling up seaweed she went on the merry-go-round. Perfect opportunity for a swift half at the Beer on the Pier which was right next to it.

Busy with the air show. Not sure how frequent this venue will be open - clearly a fair weather enterprise only.
