A fleeting visit after a work meal out. Fleeting because I thought others were coming but it appeared to me they'd got the taxi home instead.

Early afternoon visit – just a couple of other customers present. What a great place. As a confirmed bookworm, I was so engrossed with the shelves of books and the pile that I had accumulated on my table that I nearly forgot to drink my beer.

| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | | Very dark, caramel-flavoured, hop-free mild. Not in the greatest condition here if truth be told. |

16:45 Unusual but didn't like it all. Cramped, dingy and not enough seating.

Evening. Good chat and banter with some locals all of whom supported London football clubs. Seemed dingy and work in progress inside (probably always will too).

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LX.
Formerly the Albion bookshop this is now converted to a pub. From the same stable as The Lifeboat in Margate. Real ales from handpump. When first opened this was served from gravity behind a trestle table bar by the stepped entrance but this was subsequently converted to an L-shaped rough plywood bar counter. In 2016 cask ale dispense was converted to handpumps. At the time of opening the venue remained a bookshop too with all books marked for sale. Drinking on several levels including a staircase up to the balcony. Now has 8 handpumps and large array of keg taps on a more formal fixed bar counter. Renamed in summer 2026.
We have visited this pub 44 times, seen 74 different beers and tried 41 of them.
