I had not been here for many years so I decided to pay a visit. It is unusual to see a pub with three dart boards.

Long chat with landlord. Enterprise pub in dispute with pubco so Gadds have disappeared for a while. Incentive here is 8 pints gets you one free pint. Landlord thinks camra is concentrating too much on micropubs in Thanet and not helping with campaigns for other pubs. Guess that will be my job as this is my local.Happy landlord means a happy drinker??

Fruity language on several visits here but very good beer. CAMRA leaflets need updating. Good selection of last years info. Saw an elderly woman banned on one visit. Beware of the loud customers on Sunday evenings after the live music ends at 8pm.

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 0BJ.

Formerly the Addington Arms, a busy pub on a small side road (Ashburnham Road) in the outskirts of Ramsgate centre. It was a beer shop as early as 1849, although the flint building is much older. The pub had the distinction of being the last beer house in Thanet, not being fully licensed until the 1960s.

We have visited this pub 43 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 8 of them.
