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

Late afternoon and another meet up with the Dosser, who, it seems, adds most favourably to the Thanet economy these days!
'Like' this place a lot.

Late afternoon, and a convenient rendezvous with the Dosser! Great location for a micro. Top marks all round here.
