I do like this pub. The landlord gives you a friendly welcome and we had a bit of a chat about his guest beers. He seems to get through them quite quickly. I was here a week ago and he had got through several of the beers on his chalkboard. The Greene King IPA, he said, was the only regular and that the other 3 handpulls were used for guest beers. Jennings Sneck Lifter and Dorothy Goodbody's Golden Ale were the next ones due on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bath Ales - Barnstormer | 4.50 | | Very deep ruby colour with thick lasting beige head. Maybe getting towards the end of the barrel as it took a bit of pumping to get the pint, which killed some of the carbonation in the glass. Very nice dark ale though. Juicy dark fruits, plums, but not sour and good choc flavours. Finish is really quite drying. Extremely drinkable. Lovely finish. Choc and ark fruit aroam. Some sweet blackberry. Brilliant pint. Full and rich with a bit of puckering of the mouth on the finish. |

I hadn't really been around The Bayle area of Folkestone before and I was impressed. Nice cobbles and small cottage houses. Two good pubs as well. I liked this one bar traditional pub with a dart board and pool table and TV on the left and quieter seating to the right in front of the real fire. I received a friendly welcome and a chalk board above the beer displayed beers coming on soon and showed a good mix of UK regionals and micros. The teapots in the shape of houses were quirky. 4 handpumps, but I can only remember 2. I think one was Greene King IPA and the other a winter seasonal, but I couldn't swear to it.

| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | A bit yeastier than I remember it being and the malty fruit was more subdued. Still, a decent pint. |
