Mid evening visit either side on a live band change, two of three that would be on tonight. The second one was a headbanging act that at least several customers danced to with complementary head movements! Best beer in town and best bands I say.

Evening visit. Always impressed by cask care and cask price here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider4.30ExcellentFirst out a new cask. When I had arrived the previous cask had been very near the end, with the barmaid getting the customer before me to see if it was still acceptable, she and he confirmed a twang so time for cask replacement after a lengthy line cleaning operation. That's care!
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA5.60Excellent4½* Would be difficult to better this

3 beers on and first time we saw the boss Simon since our wedding 5 months ago. Gadds doing discounts here help keep the pub going and selling gadds beers. All beers 3.75.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA5.60ExcellentWonderful. Boss said he shouldn't have this on as Thorley has said its too pricey to buy. But Simon wants the full range available so....great for the customer. Bravo.

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 176 times, seen 56 different beers and tried 41 of them.
