Under new management. Three pump clips on display but none available today because new cellar cooling equipment was installed yesterday.

I just had time for a quick pint before catching a 'bus to New Romney. A good crowd of chatty locals made this an enjoyable visit.

Tuesday lunch time, there were a few locals at the bar. I would have stayed longer but I did not want to miss the 'bus to New Romney.
