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. |

Very Nice Pub this with good local ales

It was about 3/4 full when we arrived but we still managed to get a table. It's a funny pub this as I don't think it's worked out if it's a pub or a restaurant. I like it anyway.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Smokey with a vodka bite to it. Some oak in the body but the vodka flavour dominates. Vodka/heather finish. |
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Came into Sandwich by bus hoping to go to at least 2 pubs but soon realised that the buses back were a bit erratic. Anyway this is a good pub. The barman told a group who couldn't decide what to have that they were welcome to try any of the beers before they bought. Jane and I ate here too and the food was good. They also sold bottles of Gadd's Dogbolter Porter.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Brown bitter colour. Smelt of mild malt. Earthy sharp hops dominate with a reedy malt background flavour. Long sharp bitter finish. Had 2 enjoyable pints. £3.00 a pint a little steep though. |
