Early evening visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tap East - Experimental Vanilla Latte in the Morning5.60GoodIn good condition but lacking a reasonable balance of coffee and vanilla with far too much of the latter. Sickly, I should have bought just a half

Brief early evening visit. Prices creeping up here from being reasonable, when it first opened, to being flashy shopping centre levels.

I can't help thinking that this pub needs some new furniture and a bit of a refresh.

The football in Dover didn't go well and my group decided to have post-match beers here rather than linger in Kent.

Two visits today, one mid afternoon whilst on my way to Leyton Orient and one on my return. The pub was much busier around 3:30 pm than it was in the evening. Thankfully I left just before 8.30pm and travelled just before the rail service came to a halt because of Ashford Signalling Centre being evacuated because of a fire.
