Great beer range, and the lady serving was friendly and offered us tasters without us asking

Late morning swift one after an hour’s cycle. Sat and read an article about the Blackcountry Ale Tairsters (BATS) who have now chalked up 24,000 different pubs in Britain since 1984. I’ve seen their “calling card” beer mat in a few pubs.
Just listed the guests on - all ales here at £1.99 a pint.

| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Ah- an old favourite that I haven’t seen for a while. This was in perfect condition and hardly touched sides on its way down. |

Swift late morning pint. Actually had a reasonable chat with a ‘spoons bartender - she was from Nottingham and recommended the Dragonfly. Just noted the 3 “guest” ales.

Brunch and a pint midway on my pre-Christmas cycle.
Pleasant enough in here - didn’t note the other beers on.

Very poor selection. Makes the RVP in Ramsgate look like a POTY.

Gareth and I sat outside on a sticky table with a view to sea except you can't see the sea only a children's playground.

The pub is found in Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 5JQ.
By Wetherspoon standards this is quite a small pub with a meandering layout. Situated on the sea front in Central Parade so it has good views out to sea. The southeast coastline of England was once known as the Saxon Shore, from the military forts built along it during the late Roman occupation. Today, the Saxon Shore footpath passes along Central Parade and has given its name to this Wetherspoon pub.
We have visited this pub 42 times, seen 102 different beers and tried 48 of them.
