Popped in as I'd been told they'd added an extra couple of pumps for ale. They're also now selling Biddingdens cider on handpump which is quite rare. Real friendly local pub, perfect place to come for a chat.

This pub is top notch. He does Archer's village as a regular and then varies the other pump. The beer's always been well served when I've been in and the rotating beers always been interesting. Excellent pub. Tonight there were a few regulars around the bar.

Burton Bridge - Top Dog Stout5.00ExcellentBlack beer with acrid bitter burnt malt flavour. The 5% shows itself as a buzz on the tonge after swallowing. The burnt bitter finsh lasts. Excellent stuff.

I think this is a great pub. The landlord obviously cares about his beer and the atmosphere is relaxed. The local ladies darts team was in so it was quite a busy night.

I like this pub. It was quiet with a few people sitting around the bar talking about the forthcoming Planet Thanet Beer Festival.
