Becoming a habit of mine - cycling to Coldred and taking a Wrong Turn on the way.
Late afternoon - just the one other customer when I arrived but others arriving as I left. Had a good chat about Dover and Canterbury pubs - both of us favouring the former on balance.

I’d heard rumours that this was closed for January and/or February. Pleasantly surprised to find it open before 5 with at least 10 customers.
Winter opening 3 on Thursday and Friday, noon at the weekend. Close M/T/W. But I was told spring opening times will be longer. All ales still £3 a pint.
McCanns (used to use Angels and Demons name as well) - Hockley Soul | 4.20 | | Hope I got this right - no pump clip and just chalked up as “McCanns Stout 4.2%”.
Freshly tapped - absolutely delicious. |
Wantsum - 1381 | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
Hop Fuzz - Goldsmith | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Mid afternoon visit - I was the only customer. Landlady bemoaning the lack of appreciation from customers about her restricted opening hours. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays now. All real ales at £3 a pint.
Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - Bombay Social | 3.80 | | Lovely brew - fresh on. |
Wantsum - Montgomery (was SS Richard Montgomery) | 4.00 | | |
Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening. Biggest disappointment after a long and circuitous journey to find venue closed for a private function. Pubs such as this are destination Micropubs and when this remote it is a real kick in the teeth.

Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | | Very nice. £3 for all beers, £3.40 for ciders. |

Friday beer o'clock. Nice atmosphere - a few inside and out in the sunshine.
Viper (Mighty Oak) - Jake the Snake | 4.00 | | Light, flowery, refreshing - with a bite of something I couldn't quite discern. |
Mighty Oak - Oscar Wilde Mild | 3.70 | | Nice body for a mild. |
Hop Fuzz - English | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Early Friday evening - I have cycled from Dover to get here - any beer will taste good after that! A jolly atmosphere with the log burning stove blazing away.
Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | | Dark, creamy and smoky. Very nice. |
Hop Fuzz - English | 4.00 | | Pleasant enough, good condition but rather plain. |
Pig & Porter - Neither Nor | 5.00 | | Just a taster - quite complex flavours - worth a bigger sample next time. |

Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
