Early afternoon and a good crowd in. One of the beers was just being rubbed off from the chalk board so just the three to chose from this afternoon.

Evening until close. Lost connections everywhere but arrived at 8.20 as the lights were going out, early due to light business. Fair do's and accolades to Guv Paul for letting me have one for my effort in getting there. Just the one beer on. And a lift to the Conqueror.

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. Other past lives of the building have been as a florist's shop and a fancy gift shop. A menu of the beer and cider on offer is shown on a wall blackboard then your drink is fetched (with table service) from a back room having been served on gravity dispense there. Under new ownership in spring 2018.

We have visited this pub 406 times, seen 417 different beers and tried 292 of them.
