En-route from the nearby Hamstreet Auto jumble, a late lunchtime visit and the pub, the garden, and car park were completely full up plus the road opposite. A gathering of bikes, members and followers had stopped off on a memorial run for a fallen member. This scene harked back to the good old days when this place was full up nearly every weekend.

Late afternoon visit for a couple of hours, midway through a 225km Kent Coast ride-out. Garden was busy with the mid summer beer festival in full swing, with twelve ales on and local cider. With live music too. Inside was nice and got talking to two more bike nuts! Great day, even better pub..😉

Arrived, from the nearby Hamstreet Festival of Transport Show, just after opening and already a few in plus Doris out back sorting a box of (more) old photo's, and Kate about too. Cyclist's, locals and passing day-trippers and holiday visitors are all attracted to this quaint pub. Stayed for an hour and then off onto Folkestone Airshow.

Sunday lunchtime and packed with people enjoying a drink (this pub does not do food), a good turnout for the presentation of a certificate for runner up in the local Camra branch Pub of the Year Competition. It was good to see Kentish Ale again.

I arrived at just after 2pm to be greeted by a full car park with the only space for my bike across the road? Main bar was very busy with the runner up award for local pub being presented to Doris and Kate. Not normally this busy? Nice to meet ChrisE again. It soon thinned out with people going for there train ect, and the sun drenched garden was partaken for an hour before continuing my ride onto Folkestone.

Bank Holiday Monday, the sun is shining. Hastings was full up earlier on, and Rye, and Dungeness were busy too. Not been to my favourite pub in Kent since July 2013. Good to speak with Kate again and Doris too, who was ensconced with some locals. Good to see the place again.

A wonderful pub with a good traditional atmosphere. I talked with Kate about the Queen's Arms at Cowden Pound.
| Old School (OSB) - Governors Porter | 5.50 | | A nice dark porter. |
| Spencer's - Blonde | 4.20 |  | I suspect that this was end of cask and had probably been on for a bit too long. |

Lunchtime visit for the full three hours, the pub seemed quiet at first but within about thirty minutes was fairly full, and I was not the only person that had walked from Appledore Railway Station. Being a Saturday I was able to catch a bus at 15:37 from outside the pub to Ashford via New Romney.
