Mid evening visit. All of Ramsgate's good and great were out on the streets for the first tolerably warm (as against stifling) evening for weeks.

Mid evening visit. Not much has changed here except an extra real ale on and most of the local closed brewery artefacts gone.

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 9DS.

Micropub in York Street that opened on Good Friday 2013 on the site of the Hovelling Boat pub which closed in 1909 (and re-opened 104 years later). No lager or keg beers are sold here. Other past lives of the building have been as a florist's shop and a fancy gift shop. A menu of the beer and cider on offer is shown on a wall blackboard then your drink is fetched (with table service) from a back room having been served on gravity dispense there. Under new ownership in spring 2018.

We have visited this pub 381 times, seen 407 different beers and tried 283 of them.
