At last a great selection of beers. Long chat with the boss who seems to be making money. Nice to hear.

Warm beer despite being in a cooler. The camra boards are full of Visit Broadstairs books. Yet another pub where they are not getting deliveries of the local camra rag. Needs sorting.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
St Peter's - Honey Porter	4.50		Sweet but too warm
Oakham - The Robber	4.80		Warm, tired. Didnt taste like an Oakham ale. Need to try this in another pub.

Website.

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LR.

First incarnation was a former Pet Food shop converted into a micropub in 5 Charlotte Street specialising in cask ales and ciders. Opened on the 30th November 2012. The casks were visible racked behind the bar behind glass frontage. High tables with similarly high wall mounted bench seating abounds. Plans to relocate to a nearby much larger street corner premise at 11-13 Charlotte Street came to fruition on Friday Friday 5th May 2017 and this originally incorporated a brewhouse for what would have been Broadstairs Town Brewery perhaps in 202??! but it never came to fruition. 8 handpumps and 10 keg beer taps in the new location. Bar billiards upstairs where is some extra seating too. The new venue is too large to be a micropub so best called an alehouse or really just a pub. Change of name in 2024 and now with 5 handpumps and 18 keg taps.

We have visited this pub 86 times, seen 151 different beers and tried 102 of them.
