15:30 in/out visit. Ales looked interesting and seasonal but the bar was overwhelmed with diners and their time consuming orders.

11am. Maybe the worst JD in Kent. Nothing to keep me here with the City's 'finest' residents hard at it already!

Nice atmosphere until 100 students or youngsters turned up. The pensioners were funny rubbing for the exits!!

| Stonehenge - Danish Dynamite | 5.00 | | Smokin and excellent value with a camra discount. Tad too cold for top mark. |

early evening - pleasant.
was researching the Falstaff Hotel bar at Mr P's suggestion - it is being refurbished "opening in July" - maybe ... I'll keep an eye on it. Popped in here instead. At least 8 beers on of course.

| Adnams - Fat Sprat | 3.80 | | A little on the sweet side - but at £1.99 a pint I'm not complaining. |

The end of a good long weekend - mid evening, Easter Monday. Busy at first but thinned out. Didn't note all beers on - 3 or 4 more.

About 11:30 on Friday morning. Almost all the seats already taken. It was a shame to be missing the Dover beer fest for the first time in a while, but Interpol at the Camden Roundhouse and two days in London meant I wasn't too sad!

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7EB.
Located just in North Lane. Quite substantial floor space and nooks and crannies to drink in. This Wetherspoon pub takes its name from its proximity to Canterbury's West Gate, one of the finest medieval gateways in Britain. This is a Grade II listed building, and dates from the 17th century. Over the years, it has been modified and rebuilt, and has lost much of its timber frame and original features.
We have visited this pub 80 times, seen 161 different beers and tried 90 of them.
