3 Gadds beers available. The barmaid told us that the brewer thinks that their no 3 is served better here than any other pub in kent. Hes not far out with that one. Heard that Mel is standing down as Manager here.

Mid evening visit. Like a broken record I reiterate that I can not understand why this house is not in the Good Beer Guide.

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 8NN.

Busy corner pub right in the centre of town in King Street. Attracts a mostly alternative crowd and there will often be heavy rock music on the jukebox. Several large TV screens for sport enthusiasts. There is a raised area to the rear. 3 handpumps on the lower bar counter. Deservedly awarded a CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry for 2021.

We have visited this pub 189 times, seen 57 different beers and tried 41 of them.
