For the benefit of anybody who hasn't got a clue where St Peters is, this pub is a short walk from Broadstairs Railway Station. I popped in soon after 12:00 and there were already a couple of chaps enjoying a pint. I picked up a copy of the new edition of the Thanet Loop Pub Guide which is so up to date that it includes both this pub and the Chapel. This was the first full day of opening and there was lots of interest from passers by.

2105 hours arrival on first evening of opening. Welcomed as I entered by a former lodger of mine, I last saw him at Oxford Street tube station one Christmas perhaps 9 or 10 years ago - lots to catch up on! This is most definitely a fully fledged Micropub in every respect - no doubts on that.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Summer's Day	4.30		Fine form - full bitter hit
Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Miller's Ale (originally 4.5%)	4.20		Flattish malty bitter brew
Wold Top - Anglers Reward Pale Ale	4.00	Not Tried

The pub is found in St Peter's, Kent, CT10 2AT.

Located in Sowell Street in former shop premises, converted to become one of Thanet's ever increasing population of micropubs. Like the other micropubs which are becoming a popular part of the East Kent drinking scene this shop conversion is a street corner former shop building with its entrance front door on the corner itself. The real ales and cider are served direct by gravity from casks in the rear temperature controlled stillage room. Access to the toilet is via the stillage room. First opened on the evening of Thursday 9th August 2012 just in time to benefit from the Broadstairs Folk Week starting the very next day. Although the pub name is prompted by a Two Ronnies TV sketch please do not try buying here any hoes, plugs, saw tips, peas, pumps, washers or even billhooks. Just beer and cider should do. A small in-house brewery installation was subsequently made here.

We have visited this pub 62 times, seen 105 different beers and tried 73 of them.
