14:30 visit. In the City, shopping for a decent cycle. Very busy here, and an uncleared table was taken, but soon cleaned up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Summer Perle | 3.80 | | Light fruity with mellow pineapple hop |
| Westerham - Hop Rocket India Pale Ale | 4.80 | | Yeah hoppy in the "slightly pushing a imperial ipa" sense. Imperial ipa - can't believe I'm making reference to am American term for a non existent style. |

Saturday lunchtime. Thin Spoons crowd
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Juniper Rye | 4.20 | | Good spice ok condition decent flavours. Interesting. |
| Greene King - Double Hop Monster IPA | 7.20 | | Bit boozy. Had this 4 times now and it varies from good to poor. This example is average as it reeks of alcohol on the aroma. |

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2HG.
Located in Burgate just off The Parade. Very substantial frontage but not too deep. History of pub name: Richard Harris Barham was born in 1788, at 61 Burgate, across the road from this Wetherspoon pub. Using the pen name Thomas Ingoldsby he wrote The Ingoldsby Legends, which first appeared in 1840, in a periodical edited by Charles Dickens. Richard Harris Barham, alias Thomas Ingoldsby, had an accident when he was 14, which crippled his right arm. During a long convalescence he began to write. Re-opened on 29th May 2018 after 4 months of closure to add hotel facilities (13 rooms) and an upstairs bar and bar counter.
We have visited this pub 115 times, seen 316 different beers and tried 152 of them.
