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.

Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

Lunchtime- pleasant ride from Canterbury to join a rather depleted group of fellow Potterers. Hobson’s choice on the draft ale.
Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | Badged as Broadside! We were advised before purchasing. |

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 - Trigger | 3.60 | | My son and I agreed this was our favourite - very pale, lovely session ale. |
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | |
Musket - Flintlock Best Bitter | 4.20 | | |
