Afternoon visit, I was greeted by name from Dave (former landlord of the Northern Bell) who was looking after the place today. Always good in here.

I have put this score on behalf of Dosser who is having problems logging on to this site. This is his score, not mine. He reports "Pouring rain brings in a full afternoon pub. 4 beers on. Good conversation about how many people in the pub were from Ramsgate. No one it seemed. I'm from Brum. 17 in but seems easier to distance here. Less furniture?"
