3 gadds on but ones black pearl at 3.75. Miles cheaper than any other pub around here selling pearl. Boss over moon about gbg selection and even more so about the iron maiden logo for this rockers pub. Pouring rain.

3 new beers on, all gadds. All 3.75. But Lynnes coke cost 3.15. Must be all that diet sugar tax.

3 beers, all gadds on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. £5.25 for a real coffee and a top pint is a rarity these days. And great music on jukebox. Edit.. Just noticed I wrote this last time I was in! Lol

About a dozen in and 3 gadds on. £5.25 for a top beer and Lynnes filter coffee is a bargain these days. Long may it last.

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 8NN.

Busy corner pub right in the centre of town in King Street. Attracts a mostly alternative crowd and there will often be heavy rock music on the jukebox. Several large TV screens for sport enthusiasts. There is a raised area to the rear. 3 handpumps on the lower bar counter. Deservedly awarded a CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry for 2021.

We have visited this pub 162 times, seen 56 different beers and tried 41 of them.
