Packed in the mid-afternoon on Bank Holiday Monday, with live music in the front bar and a good atmosphere. I liked this pub a lot.

16:00 visit. Our chauffeur had a day off work, and I'd finished at 2pm, so she picked me and a pal up and we headed to sunny Whitstable again to tackle some pubs missed the week before. This pub/restaurant was very smart. Very quiet at this time as expected, but the ale range was top class, with an impressive line up of bottles noted too from the likes of Gadd's and Meantime. I remember coming here a couple of years back. Today, we sat inside with the sun beaming through the windows. Classy place and quality food menu noted. (Read, you need deep pockets in this place, £3.80p a pint, £4.00+ bottles and my first ever £4.00 Guinness!).

Lots of crome, mirrors, glass and exposed wood. Bit more of a bar than a pub but hey, 2 Gadds!
