My first visit to this new addition to the Thanet micropub scene. Doing a roaring trade this afternoon with all tables occupied. Well worth a visit and handy for the railway station.

First visit. 6 beers on all at £4 a pint. 2 could be had at mind the gap 25% cheaper. Most expensive micropub we found in Broadstairs today. Think landlor needs to check prices in other micros not the sheps pubs.
