My first visit here, it was just after 12:00 and there were already a few in. The main subject of conversation seemed to be the former Ashford ring road. The landlord informed me that the butchers shop opposite does superb hot pies, and that he is happy to supply plates and cutlery should any of his customers need food.

I thought it opened at 6 and was surprised how busy it was when we arrived. It opened at 5. Friendly place. We sat at the end and pondered the house prices around here.

Met Gareth on the bus and 20 mins later walked into the Tankerton Arms. It was busy with all but 1 table taken. We had generous jugs of beer and left at 9 when time was called. The owners were very friendly too. Very good pub.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Had 2 pints of this. Excellent condition. Solid sweet and slightly roasted session bitter. |
| Westerham - William Wilberforce Freedom Ale | 4.00 | | Lacked condition but perfectly drinkable. |
| Hopdaemon - Leviathan | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Evening. Full marks for meeting all requirements of the purist's definition of Micropub. Only open a few days but has bedded in nicely. Quite a few comin's and goin's and examples of strangers (albeit neighbours!) talking. A Micropub already weaving its magic and it is on the Triangle bus route too.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | In prime condition |
| Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | | An acquired taste |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Reeve's Ale | 4.10 | | Rather cloying |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | Not Tried | Overhead someone saying "where on earth can you get mild anywhere else locally" |

Popped in to wish Patsy and Nigel all the best for their new Micropub venture. The place was packed. If you get the chance it's well worth a visit.
| Adnams - Ghost Ship (was 4.5%) | 4.10 | | First time I've tried this. Unusual flavours but very tasty. |
| Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
