Early evening and access denied by "Closed for Private Function". Not good for a venue pub that, as with all Micropubs, people travel miles to visit.

Mid evening. A couple of others in and good conversation, albeit about death, I learned some. Guv confirms that after 5 years the pub is up for sale.

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.
