Not busy for my late afternoon visit to this micropub but good to get out of the wind that had got up. Prompt friendly service. I was surprised to see two mainstream beers on for a micropub as in London Pride and Proper Job but also a couple of other real ales were on from the smaller breweries to interest me.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | It came with good head and lacing on this Bristol-based milk stout. A slightly malty first hit and a bittersweet mouthfeel from all the chocolatey infusions therein. A pleasantly dry bitterness lingered. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | Now the third sighting of this bitter in Herne Bay's five micropubs in the town centre. |

Mid afternoon and busy with friendly jovial locals clustered around the bar, we found plenty of space available in the back room to comfortably occupy everyone.

Ah the Parkerville. Sat in the back and watched the Wales-Scotland rugby game. Excellent atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Caravan (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Excellent condition. Had the initial smell and flavour of Gadd's No. 7 but with a much sweeter malt body. Very drinkable. |
