Afternoon visit, a handful in - conversation ranging from Justin Welby’s recent trip to the Four Candles to racing headless chickens as children.

Four Candles - Coffee and Hazelnut Porter4.40GoodBlack. Good coffee flavours but drowned out the hazelnut a bit. Much prefer the pure Hazelnut Porter!

Lunchtime visit for our group of 7 - we intended to move on but liked it so much we stayed for a session. Landlady very friendly and not only allowe us to bring in food but provided plates and condiments to go with it.

Got here about 8pm with Gareth and spent an hour or so drinking the porter. Quite busy and friendly as ever.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Four Candles - Parkers Hazelnut Porter4.40ExcellentDeep brown. Strong sweet hazelnut flavour. Low hopping. Was brewed originally for the Thanet Beer Festival as a one off but staff at the Parkerville convinced Four Candles to brew them a batch - hence the name.

The pub is found in Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 5AD.

Micropub style pub opened in former Mac's Music Store in High Street (eastern end), its name is derived from the proprietor's surname. Opened Friday 29th July 2016. Low tables and chairs at the front with a corner bar counter. Cask ales and ciders are served on gravity dispense from a small temperature controlled cellar room behind the bar. The stillage is on 2 tiers, each holding 4 casks. There is further seating down one step towards the rear and at the very back is storage for a rump musical instruments sales business which remains on the premises from its Mac's days. There is a small stage with piano by the front window.
