My record with finding Micro Pubs open is a poor one, so pleased to find the lights on here at around 4pm. A cross-table conversation about cycling is in full flow.

Third stop of the night. Fairy empty but after we sat down a whole crowd descended. Nice modern interior.

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 9DS.
Micropub in York Street that opened on Good Friday 2013 on the site of the Hovelling Boat pub which closed in 1909 (and re-opened 104 years later). No lager or keg beers are sold here.

Under new ownership in spring 2018.
