Man Herne Bay was packed. Whilst the family went to the play ground opposite I popped in for a very swift half.

Went to the Harvester for dinner (I know how to live) but it was very busy so we came here instead (see I told you I know how to live). The front of the pub was quite busy as it overlooks the sea but the back was nice and quiet so we sat there. Quick service too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Hengist | 5.00 | | Pale gold. A bit hazy. Smoky, bit of perspex, strong grassy hop finish |
| Lymestone - Stone the Crows | 5.40 | | Black. Roasted caramel, hint of tar. No real condition. |

The pub is found in Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 5JQ.
By Wetherspoon standards this is quite a small pub with a meandering layout. Situated on the sea front in Central Parade so it has good views out to sea. The southeast coastline of England was once known as the Saxon Shore, from the military forts built along it during the late Roman occupation. Today, the Saxon Shore footpath passes along Central Parade and has given its name to this Wetherspoon pub.
We have visited this pub 42 times, seen 102 different beers and tried 48 of them.
