22 Mar 2025 (Hogan Sampling)
Only my second visit and following my first in September 2024. A smallish micropub that is long and narrow but with a yard at the back to sit out in as the weather was clement enough for me. Prompt, friendly service on entering late afternoon and situated a few doors from a good fish and chip shop but I resisted that temptation but apparently you are allowed to bring your fish takeaway in.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | This Ramsgate-based Gadd's pale ale came with excellent head and lacing. A dry and hoppy first hit from its Goldings hops. A moreishly dryish mouthfeel and brimming with a hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Holding its head and lacing very well throughout. |

Saturday mid afternoon. Just about got a seat. Chatted to an ex-landlord of the Four Horseshoes at Graveney, intriguing tales of travellers wakes.

Just one other chap in just after 15.00 opening but around 30 minutes later the place was teeming. A welcome change from the indigenous Shep's blandness in this town.

| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | A rich complex full-bodied ale with high proportions of crystal malt and East Kent Golding hops. |

Very busy for late afternoon visit but managed to slot into this tiny bar, being a typical micro, with another and a dog in my party. My first visit and prompt, friendly service.
