Lunchtime cycle meet - we sat outside with plenty of wasps for company watching the darkening sky (the cyclists were watching the sky, the wasps were more interested in our beers).

We came to the beach to look for interesting rocks. The pub was very busy and had been substantially done up since I was last there nearly 9 years ago.

Hot Sunday afternoon and it was fairly busy. The queue at the bar was long enough to put me off hanging around especially as nothing they had on interested me much
This pub is situated about 30m from the sea in Wellington Parade. The interior is snug with old beams and the like. Free house for a while then purchased by Shepherd Neame.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 4 of them.
