Mid evening visit. Just a couple of topers upstairs at the bar. Odd choice to find Sambrook's stuff with such great Kentish around.

Mid evening visit. Once sat in one of the low settees how is one meant to get up again I ask.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - HPA Hoppy Pale Ale | 3.60 | | Almost last out of cask, worryingly saw cask being manually tilted to pour. But came out as clear as a bell |

Early evening much more welcoming and civilised atmosphere compared to the Four Candles, busy around the bar area we sat at one of the many tables free at the entrance level. Start of Folk Week hence beers in plastic cups, the only pub noted to do so today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Endless Summer | 3.40 | | Dry citrus fruits combined with a hoppy peppery kick made for a flavoursome complex experience. |

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1JB.
Retail premises conversion into the micropub style at the top end of the High Street near the railway station. Opened officially on 15th July 2016 with a soft opening the day before. Cask ales and ciders / perries sold on gravity dispense from a chilled cabinet on the upper level behind a bar counter. The lower level has tables and chairs with a couple of settees in the bay window. Operated by the same people that have an interest in the nearby award winning Yard of Ale. Railway themed including interest adorning the walls and a real length of mainline rail acting as a foot rail at the bar counter upstairs. Thanet CAMRA branch Cider Pub of the Year 2017.
We have visited this pub 87 times, seen 91 different beers and tried 51 of them.
