3rd visit of the outing: Said to form part of the oldest building structure in Broadstairs, The Chapel also certainly charges a pretty ancient price for at least one of its real ales and at a mere £3.40 a pint on my visit. Perhaps I was just very lucky! I did not pick the ale for its price, as not shown, but because I like a drop of good bitter. More of that coming up. Not more than just a few others in. Most were on the beach trying out various sun-dances to encourage the sun to break through the clouds. Perhaps those dances were a bit like a ritual dance to summon rain, associated in particular with some North American Indian peoples. Friendly prompt service from the barman and good banter with him and his other customer for my mid-afternoon visit. It doubles as a bookshop with a gallery above where you can sit and sup and browse a book or two all at the same time. This micropub is part of the old St. Mary's Chapel and is said to date back to at least the 1350s.

First and only pub in BS today, we arrived full of food after a late lunch in Posilipo's nearby we purloined the empty upstairs gallery room and chilled out as the heavens opened.

3 beers on..and no price list. Got a shock when I saw the bill!

Couldn't get onto the magnet with the crowds. 4 beers on though one had to be sent back. Vinegar.

3 beers on and lots of key kegs

Lots of craft ales available

Mid evening's last port of call. A very good mix of customer types here, perhaps with a number of foreign students.

Evening visit, my first since the more permanent bar counter and handpumps were introduced with an array of keg taps.

Got pricey in here.

A few in. Dark outside. I like this pub but it's a bit odd.
