Pedro felt sorry for me and gave me a lift as I cant walk after picking up a tropical disease in Zanzibar. Full of CAMRA members from around Kent. Archie 14 was on great form and his retired Mrs seemed to have more jobs on the go than all the people in the pub put together|!

|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Porter | 5.50 | | Very good. Simon has no imput into this beer so it is consistent unlike Goachers Goldstar which he has had imput for 23 years. Sort out the hops, yeast, diacetyl etc. |
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | Ok ish |
| Goacher's - Gold Star | 5.10 | | Yet another different taste from Simon, I mean Goachers |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | Not Tried |

Afternoon into early evening visit. Had a great chat and laugh with 'Angie, Dosser & Pedro' plus Martin & Peter were in attendance. The pub became very busy later on which gave to a great atmosphere :)

Afternoon visit soon after opening time, the place soon got busy. The lack of buses after dark meant that we could not stay as long as we would have liked.

Caught the train from sheppey for an evening session, I was very lucky, I managed to get a seat as within 10 minutes the pub was packed :)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Stunning example, it equaled Alan's fine light from The Rifle in Maidstone and that's no mean feat :) |
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | Great flavour but lacking condition for a fresh cask also a slight haze. |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Sittingbourne, Kent, ME10 2JN.
First Micropub in Sittingbourne located on a street corner in Charlotte Street. Name reflects the significant historical importance of paper making to the area. Officially opened on Saturday 12th October 2013. The licensee is a lady who has always wanted to open a pub like pubs once were and has been very successful in achieving this. Premises were formerly a building contractor's office and prior to that various shop existences. Small square main bar with wall mounted high benches on all four sides and high tables to match. Table service from a gravity stillage cellar at the back. Unisex toilet. Decorated with enamel signs from old Kent breweries which have been lent by Goacher's Brewery from its vast collection and there is always a Goacher's beer on here. The very layout and size mean conversation is King, Queen, Prince and Princess. CAMRA Swale Branch Pub of the Year 2015, 2016 and again in 2017.
We have visited this pub 64 times, seen 91 different beers and tried 66 of them.
