Pretty quiet really but still had some of the usual characters. Jukebox has definitely gone downhill, where's the Led Zeppelin!!

Only 2 others in which is odd for a Saturday afternoon. Beer line-up was pretty uninspired and subsequently we only stayed for the one. There's much better options than this in Ramsgate these days.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Elgood's - Indian Summer4.80AcceptableTasted tired and thin yet the barmaid assured me it was fresh on yesterday, can only mean they're not keeping it right.

Rarely seem to get to Ramsgate these days so it's always nice to get back to the old local. Usual crowd in, perhaps slightly depleted due to the event at The Monty.
