One of my favourite pubs in Ramsgate, attracts clientele of all ages and is spacious, quiet, unpretentious and comfortable, with views overlooking the nearby ferry terminal. There was a good selection of other beers on but I never made note of them unfortunately..

|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | My eyes lit up when I saw this and it didn't disappoint, hoppy, zesty refreshing pint with citrus aftertast, and served up in perfect condition. I had to have another couple just to make sure! |

They were hosting an open mic night, and a couple of friends decided to give it a shot. Worked out really well and made for a great atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Still a top notch beer. |
| Burton Bridge - Festival Ale | 5.50 | | Not too shabby, caught me off guard. Sweet and fruity, pretty easy drinking for it's strength. |
| Burton Bridge - Bridge Bitter | 4.20 | | Malty, a little fruity and a bit dishwatery. Not great but not offensive. |
| West Berkshire - Good Old (or Ordinary) Boy | 4.00 | | Didn't seem in great nick. Malty and a bit biscuity but had no body to it. |

A DJ was playing in here tonight, they seem to be trying different things to bring in the customers but I'm not sure this attempt worked. Not a fan of the new permanent Greene King IPA tap either.

First visit to Churchill's since my return and it was good to be back. It's changed a little since I was last here, it's all a little posher with candles on the tables etc.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ringwood - 4X Porter | 4.70 | | Good heavily roasted porter. |
| Skinner's - Best Bitter | 3.70 | | A really good best bitter. Light, malty and very refreshing. |
| Cains - Dragon Heart | 5.00 | | Dark, fruity ale reminded me a little of Adnams Broadside. A little thin in the mouth but other than that a very nice beer. |
| West Berkshire - Full Circle | 4.50 | | Surprisingly pleasant, fruity, malty bitter. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

A couple of people were in at the bar but other than that it was quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Good Cheer | 3.70 | | I've not had this before so I don't know if it's supposed to taste like this or if it was on the turn but the apple-citric nature of it put me right off. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 |  | Took it back and they took it off and replaced it with something else |
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
