Lunchtime- pleasant ride from Canterbury to join a rather depleted group of fellow Potterers. Hobson’s choice on the draft ale.

Back for a Potterers cycle meet. Sandwich and the pub were both pleasantly busy - not crowded despite the Open golf underway nearby.
Very efficient table service.

Planned cycle rendezvous with a number of other oldies. The garden was a good sun trap sheltered well from the cold NE wind. Good table service.

With 10 mins before I had to meet Jane and Isabel I popped into the Red Cow. I can never really work this place out. It has a restaurant area, a pool table area and a bar that just has bar stools. Anyway, friendly with an interesting beer line up

| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | | I like Banks. I like their bitter. This mild was jolly good too. Hint of caramel, very low hopping and some watery body. Just want I want from a midland's mild. |

My first visit to Sandwich, a very pleasant little town too. Very compact and very clean too I noted. Let the crawl begin! And this place was an impressive starter.
