Camra agm. Providing our own food as there doesn't seem to be any moneyin the camra kitty, and the kitchen, as is the pub, is being done up. Tory levelling up money. 3 gadds on at a bargain £3.75.

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.

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.

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