Walked back to ramsgit when I got a message Black Pearl was on. All beer prices up to £3.95. Pub redecoration almost complete. It looks amazing and in total contrast to what it was like.

Big crowd in on cold afternoon. 3 gadds on, still at an attractive £3.75 a pint. Thorley have big plans for this pub when the refurb has finished. I'm not sure I will like it!

My first visit to this traditional pub in the centre of town and had been recommended to it. Warm welcome and prompt service and not busy for this early afternoon visit. Slightly hidden by the scaffolding outside but still open us usual but with quiet footfall inside and no seating outside at the front.

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 186 times, seen 57 different beers and tried 41 of them.
