Third stop on the minibus tour. Busy - which is good to see. Warm, friendly, and just brilliant. I stood by the fire and watched eccentric locals at play.

We arrived 4 minutes past 18.00 opening and already a half dozen or so enjoying their beers. Friendly welcome as always but bringing the sad news of ChrisE's funeral arrangements added a rather sombre note to the evening.
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 |  | In superb condition 4.5 stars if this was an option. |
| Wantsum - Ravening Wolf | 5.90 | | Light and subtle prune and figs earthy broth, delicious and dangerous given its unassuming ABV. |
| Goacher's - Crown Imperial Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

A dozen or so of us all piled off a restored East Kent Regent V in Sealink livery made for an incongruous sight for passers by. The pub opened an hour early for us at 17.00 so we enjoyed the exclusivity until booked opening time.
