Specially ar4anged open at 1230 for our group,of 7. The bar person was very attentive and she showed us a picture of a recent visitor, also from Canterbury, Justin Welby.
Grain - Lignum Vitae | 6.50 |  | Keying, soft, sipping beer, lively to the last drop. |
Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 |  | |
Goacher's - 1066 Old Ale | 6.70 |  | |
Arbor Ales - All the Mo's | 5.50 |  | Unfined and cloudy to the point of being opaque. Citrus notes. |
Neon Raptor - Centaur Army | 14.00 | Not Tried | Key keg, I believe. One of our group tried this and liked it. £4 for a 1/3 makes it the most expensive beer I’ve seen in a regular pub. |

Evening visit and VERY busy, conversations tonight varied from making a new Planet Of The Apes film using Paper Mill customers as some don’t need the makeup to making fruit flavoured liqueurs using “Colin’s Plums”
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 |  | Delicious Session ale displaying all the classic characteristics of a classic top quality Bitter, nice well balanced Hop & malt.
Just the way I like it. |

After a couple of round trips on the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway I fancied a pint. This place would normally be closed at this time of day but I hoped (rightly) that it may open on a Bank Holiday, I enjoyed a couple of pints in good company until 2pm closing.
