Came for a work colleagues stag-do. He's a local here so the fact that we took over the whole end of the main room was fine. The pub has a real old school feel to it and a pint of no.7 is £2.40!

I had walked past a number of pubs that were not open at 5pm so it was pleasing to see this pub nice and busy and fully justifying being open.

We sat in the back bar in the bay window and enjoyed our beers whilst suffering Johnny Cash on the background music system.

Thankfully this pub does not change much, a fair crowd of customers, and good service. I have not listed all the beers that were available.

We walked from the Green Berry and on route Ian had an Orval to refresh himself. Isn't Deal nice. It was 5pm and dark. Pretty Christmas trees twinkled out of well kept Georgian front rooms. Even the high street was tastefully decorated. We arrived at the pub and more or less crashed through the door, much to the entertainment of the locals. The pub was nicely done out for Christmas.

An early pint, before the sun had even reached the yardarm. A small group of regulars at the bar discussing paint and rowing. My first visit to Deal and I thought this was a very pleasant pub.
