Fairly busy with most of the people sitting around the bar.

What a great pub and this is the first time I've noticed they have a down-stairs. It was fairly busy around the bar so I sat up above it. Led Zep and Pink Floyd were playing on the juke box and the air was thick with smoke. Alaistair was at the bar rubbing in the fact that only he knew when Whitsunday was.

Fairly busy and friendly. I came in carrying a plastic bag and one of the regulars thought I'd brought in a Chinese to share with him. Heard a great quote from a drunk bloke opposite: 'Fundamentally, it might or might not'.

An early evening visit. Only a handful of people in so we sat upstairs. Very cosy pub.

Last pub in my mini-ramsgate tour. Great split level pub with the upper level full of seating and the lower with bar stools. If I lived in Ramsgate this would be my local! I'm sure I saw Eddie Gadd walk in.

Marvellous pub with an on-going beerfest. Five Proper Beers ( One regular & four guests ) well cared for by the curmudgeonly landlord and his good lady wife. Door-stop sandwiches are heartily recommended. This most august establishment is home to the "Tuesday Hat Club" - an informal gathering that takes place weekly between opening time & 15.00 - the only stipulation being that some sort of headgear ( the more outlandish, the better! ) is mandatory and worn between said hours, where both jovial banter and fine ale is partaken of in equal measure by a veritable cornucopia of raconteurs, wits, bon-viveurs and all-round good coves. The landlord apparently belongs to a clandestine organisation that goes by the title "Archbishops-r-us". "An oasis in the midst of a desert of mediocrity" - Oliver Pynt, food and drink critic, The Cleckheaton Thunderer.

Corner pub with one bar, but several drinking levels. Impressive stained glass windows. Good range of ever changing beers. Hats, dressing up and militaria decorate the pub. Cribbage played, feels like a good local
