Sunday afternoon and comfortably busy. Just two beers on today as one had recently run out. The air conditioning was much appreciated on this warm and sunny afternoon.

Just after 4pm and busy at the bar. Nice bright and airy feel to the place with enough tables to accommodate half a dozen or so small groups. A nice selection of various brewery trinkets on display. The size and quality of the £2 pork pie made it superb value.

The pub is found in Cliftonville, Kent, CT9 2PX.
In Northdown Road at its junction with Prices Avenue and yards from The Tap Room Micropub, in former bank premises. Bigger than a micropub but lots of trappings of a pub. The 4 handpumps on the front bar counter are purely decorative. Real ales are either served from 2 handpumps to the right hand side or from wall mounted taps which serve them on gravity dispense from casks on stillage in the room behind. A collection of old keg fonts adorn shelves and window sills.
We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 18 different beers and tried 14 of them.
