| Banks's - Ringwood Fortyniner | 4.90 | | Barman asked me why I wanted the sparkler removed. Learn something new everyday. |
| Shepherd Neame - The Faversham Steam Brewery - Whitstable Bay Pale Ale | 3.90 | | Boss gave me a sample of the £3.90 key keg version which was nice. But not worth £3.90 |

Friday lunchtime - very busy and service slow (as seems to be the norm in 'spoons). No rush though and we sat outside in the sunshine on the sea-facing veranda with about 100 others. Very impressed with the refurbishment of this iconic seaside building. A lot of pumps turned round or "coming soon". Just noted the couple I had plus a couple of more unusual ales on.

4 Guests on, 6 available soons and 9 Ruddles, Abbott and gloombar. When the guests go off they are not being replaced but the regulars are. 90 min wait for food. I had a pint but after I queued 20 mins for another one I was told I had to join a queue though I should have been next. Sophie the young barmaid told me to join behind 7 others. No thank you. Customer isnt always right in this place.

Just back from holiday and had to visit. 18 handpumps in action. But 9 of them had Ruddles, Abbot and Gloombar. 2 sorry not availables leaving 7 beers of which we tried two. Very noisy. Lots of youngsters. I counted 10 bouncers so we should feel safe. Meal deals all more expensive than any other spoons ive been in.
