Lunchtime visit, we were made very welcome and had a good chat with the governor and locals alike. A train guard had never seen a South Eastern 3 day Kent Rover ticket before and was impressed by the fact that one of our group had managed to purchase one.

Evening. As is the intention in a Micropub, some of the cross tables conversation got rather heated at one time.

Evening until close. One can not avoid conversation here so I never managed to start reading the pub's latest copy of Private Eye (beyond the front cover).
BeerABVScoreNotes
