|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Hengist | 5.00 | | I still think Wantsum can be a bit hit and miss. This was fine, quite malty worty on the aroma. |
| Hop Fuzz - The English | 4.00 | | Been on since Saturday so losing a bit of condition, but still a decent brown bitter. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Silver Top | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Folkestone, Kent, CT20 2AY.
Micropub close to Folkestone bus station which opened in November 2012, no music or slot machines and the use of mobile phones is banned with a fine imposed for disturbing the peace. Same level gravity stillage for real ales and ciders from a separate temperature controlled cellar room. Usually at seat service. In its original location had an impressive pumpclip display of beers sold to date in the unisex toilet all laid out by brewery! Ashford, Folkestone & Romney Marsh CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year 2014.
