Evening visit and a fair number of people at the bar, the Bass was selling well tonight. I like the fact that when I first started using this place in the 1970s the choice was Bass or Bass and things have not changed.

Evening visit and the busiest that I have seen this bar for some time. It was a pity that I seemed to be the only person drinking cask ale, especially as it was in very good condition.

Evening visit, like just about everywhere else between Hythe and Folkestone it was quiet, I had a chat with the Czech barman who told me about the Czech Republic's brewing heritage but added that he does not like lager beers and prefers ales and stouts.
