Poor selection of beers and only a couple of gloombar and Abbott in the cellar so no price reductions here. Meal b4 lockdown on a gloomy Monday

Not many guests here these days. Here for a pint after a funeral and no real ale in another pub.

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.

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1XJ.
Typical Wetherspoon's, on the sea front, although at one time was a Lloyds No.1 Bar at the weekend thus got pretty busy and had music playing loudly at the weekend. Since early 2013 the formerly dance floor partitioned off area for weekend music has been converted to carpeted bar seating to make this Wetherspoon traditional through and through. 10 handpumps in 2 banks of 5.
We have visited this pub 93 times, seen 151 different beers and tried 86 of them.
