4 beers on and a packed pub for the folk music. Plastic glasses. Doh.

| Goddards - Fuggle (or Fuggle Dee-Dum) | 4.80 | | Not bad but spoilt by the plastic |

4 beers on ranging from 3 to £3.60.
| Dark Star - Sunquake | 4.80 |  | The big hopurst I expected didn't happen. Disappointed but still acceptable. |

Mid evening visit. Very quiet but great to hear Singing the Blues by Tommy Steele over the speakers, got me whistling. I wonder if the in-house brewery will ever emerge, despite its purpose built (with power and water sources) room on prominent show.

| Northdown - Pale Ale Mary | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Northdown - Muggy Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Northdown - He-Bru | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Fairly quiet for a Friday evening a few groups dotted about we perched at the table by the entrance and enjoyed the gentle breeze coming through the open doors on a muggy summer's evening.
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Reeve's Ale | 4.10 | | Nutty malty traditional English bitter |
