Despite Storm Bert I joined four other cyclists here for a lunchtime pint. Sat in the sunny front window near the bar. A good buzz in here of mostly drinkers and a good choice of ales.

Lunchtime cycle meet. Only 3 of us today. 5 or six others in. The pub has changed hands recently with a previous landlord and landlady taking it back on. Wet day but no log fire. It was nowhere near as cosy as our last visit. Reasonable prices - £4.40 for the Gadd’s.

Lunchtime cycle meet. Changed owners since the last time I was here - much better ale selection. We sat in the garden in a shady seating area. Plenty of customers enjoying the sunshine.

Lunchtime- pleasant ride from Canterbury to join a rather depleted group of fellow Potterers. Hobson’s choice on the draft ale.

Back for a Potterers cycle meet. Sandwich and the pub were both pleasantly busy - not crowded despite the Open golf underway nearby. Very efficient table service.

Musket - Trigger3.60ExcellentMy son and I agreed this was our favourite - very pale, lovely session ale.
