Wantsum - 13813.80ExcellentGood condition. Light golden bitter. Reedy with rose notes. Nice. This nearly as good as Canterbury Ales Wife of Bath. Nearly :-)

Jane and Isabel were going to get their hair cut in Wingham so I tagged along. I lived here for a number of years so it was interesting to come back. The Anchor is a really nice pub with lots of old beams and hops. 3 beers on now including a Kent micro.

My visit coincided with the pub's regular Sunday afternoon live music spot. The place was very busy; and the atmosphere was brilliant! Before joining the music lovers in the main bar, I squeezed into the packed restaurant and had a very nice (and reasonably priced!) Sunday roast. The staff were friendly and helpful - A great pub: I'll definitely go back there.

It was mid evening and the main bar was fairly busy as they had a live singer in.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10GoodA good pint. Bitter to start with followed by deep malt and some caramel on the finish

Only 2 other people in on a late Saturday afternoon. In fact I've never been in it with more than a handfull of other drinkers - but then I don't often go in

Village pub with lots of wood in evidence in the interior. Only London Pride available as a bitter when I visited. Very pleasant.

We turned up just before closing so got a rather frosty reception. The pub was fairly quiet.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10GoodAs good as London Pride gets.

Virtually empty except for a few locals sitting around the bar. It's a loverly pub and really feels like a drinkers venue not a resturant
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10GoodNice. I know that's a bland comment but it was, well, nice.

Late afternoon after a couple of JHBs from Canterbury Beer shop

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10AcceptableBit flat, bit yeasty but OK.

The main bar had locals in it and kind of locals who drink. The bar was fairly large but seemed to have only 1 cider and 1 bitter or at least that's what I noticed. It would have been fine if not for a gang of noisy 'youth' hanging the side bar - but they weren't too intrusive.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10GoodExceptionally nice for what has become quite a bland beer. It was back to how I remember it 5 or 6 years ago when you only seemed to find it in London.
