I’ve been in some small pubs, but I think this is my first time in one so small that it is officially ‘micro’. Pleasant atmosphere. I was not put off even by the one duff beer.

Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original)4.10AcceptableOld-fashioned, traditional Kentish beer – all Crystal malt and Goldings hops.
Wantsum - More's Head (previously 3.4% & 3.5%)3.70PoorNasty, sour, darkish beer. Should not be like this and I could not finish my half.
