Half a mill refit and reopened with a disappointing selection of beers. Loads of new seats and tables to pack in the punters who want to eat.
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 |  | Not too bad |
Exmoor - Gold | 4.50 |  | Most uninspiring and tired |

Mid afternoon fairly busy with the stereotypical Spoonites associated with such venues including the pushchair brigade with their screaming accessories. Our group had finished a round of crazy golf early so decided to pop in here until the real pubs opened. I've only listed the non National Blands..
Brains - Bread of Heaven | 4.00 |  | Does what it says on the tin - alas on the tired side and a struggle to finish. |
Whitstable - Cockle Warmer | 4.70 |  | Sharp acetic twang to this, luckily only a taster |

Mid evening visit on way back to the railway station. A Margate sea front institution these days, waiting for the summer crowds due soon.
