Fairly quiet but gradually got busier as regulars arrived. Service fair and friendly. Landlady demonstrated how to top-up using a third glass.

Easter Sunday cycle meet. We have the small bar area with leather sofas reserved. Our senior member is 87 today - and of course rode here and back (from Thanet). Pub not overly busy with very good service for the dozen or so of us. Great community pub this.

Lunchtime. Final cycle group meet of the year. Wet and windy out, nice and cosy inside in the back bar with two huge leather sofas in front of a log fire. We stayed a while, excellent session.
