Swift late morning pint. Actually had a reasonable chat with a ‘spoons bartender - she was from Nottingham and recommended the Dragonfly. Just noted the 3 “guest” ales.

Brunch and a pint midway on my pre-Christmas cycle.
Pleasant enough in here - didn’t note the other beers on.

Very poor selection. Makes the RVP in Ramsgate look like a POTY.

The pub is found in Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 5JQ.
By Wetherspoon standards this is quite a small pub with a meandering layout. Situated on the sea front it has good views out to sea. The southeast coastline of England was once known as the Saxon Shore, from the military forts built along it during the late Roman occupation. Today, the Saxon Shore footpath passes along Central Parade and has given its name to this Wetherspoon pub.
We have visited this pub 29 times, seen 74 different beers and tried 30 of them.
