Two of us came here for a lunchtime pint, the place was busy but we were able to sit at some barrel tables at the end of the bar where we were able to enjoy some good conversation with the chap doing the table service. We stayed for longer than originally planned.

| Bexley - Black Prince Porter | 4.60 | | |

Early afternoon, the pub was busy inside and outside in the garden area. The lady serving the beers was impressed with my Radio Caroline sweatshirt.

Early evening visit, my first here after walking straight past it on first pass. Friendly west Kent couple run it with enthusiasm for the real ale and cider scene. Micropub style but the size and layout do not fertilize cross-table conversations with strangers as much as some other micropubs.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells | 4.70 | | Good flavour and condition but loses a mark for being too chilled |
| Northdown - Papworth Victory Best Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
27 Mar 2019 (Dosser)
First visit and a few in. Lots of plans for music nights. 2 real ales on at £3.50 a pint for low gravity bees, more than the average in Broadstairs micros.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Spread of Democracy | 5.30 | | This was on key Keg. A stout similar to Guinness. Very popular at £4, but served ice cold. Nice beer but marked down for extreme temp. |
