First stop on our train circuit of east Kent - and my first visit here. Warm welcome - and one of the regulars gave us all a copy of Beery Steve’s Mini Guide to Thanet Pubs - nice.

Afternoon, time for a relaxed pint prior to 14.30 close. Four other jolly chaps in who'd obviously been in since opening time, conversation mostly centered around one chap's amusing anecdotes of being a funeral director..

Mid evening visit. Had to rejig the day's proceedings with Grange Road closed outside the pub with Loop buses on diversion. An irritant overcome, to find the pub packed with the weekly quiz with all seats and tables taken. Quick pint then onwards.
