Early lunchtime - I was the only customer - shame, a good freehouse with interesting ales. I was offered a CAMRA discount without asking - bringing a pint to £3.24 - probably the cheapest in Canterbury outside a 'spoons.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Montgomery | 4.00 | | Really tasty - good balance of malt and "American hopped" flavour without being OTT. |
| Springhead - Surrender | 4.80 | | A bit whiffy to start unfortunately. Fine as it went on. |
| Old Dairy - Silver Top | 4.50 | Not Tried |

I sat out the back in the yard that overlooks the Canterbury-Dover train line (or at least the trees on its banks). Very relaxing. I think I've been coming here for 16 years now. Made me think back to the glory days of Keith behind the bar.
