Evening until 9.30pm close. Good chat with a duo who had done an all-day Thanet Micropub crawl and what they thought of each. Information received suggested ChrisE, correspondent to this site, had been in earlier twice and further words on the street imply he had not noted the beers on his two visits earlier today.
