Starting towards evening. Not many in, but tables being reserved for the evening eaters.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 |  | OK pint of completely adequate beer. Pump clip said that it had won some awards just lately, probably for being innocuous I suppose. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | Pete's best pint up to this point - but the best was yet to come. |

Mid Saturday afternoon and after looking through the window, I was delighted to see She Sells She Shells still on.

Best beer garden I know of in this place. Other than a group of louts almost having a mass brawl this place was the perfect hideaway from the heat and the bustle of the centre.

|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | | Was slightly worried by how much the barman was having to pull on the handpump but the worry was proved unwarranted. Crisp and refreshing pale ale. |
| Hopdaemon - Skrimshander IPA | 4.50 | | Top notch. |

Had been in Canterbury for lunch and decided to come here as it had a garden. We sat out the back until it rained and then sat in the back room. Nice pub.

Came here as the bar staff in The Foundry gave it a glowing recommendation. It was absolutely heaving with people spilling out into the garden. My salmon and crab fishcakes were lovely as is their beer garden.

On finding this place I assumed it was my first visit, however I see I must have been here on 8th Oct last year, (probably had had a few by the evening! - I had already been to the Butcher's Arms :-) ) £1-80/half-pint seemed steep!
