Came in for lunch. Half a dozen other tables of diners and a few old boys sat at the bar. Still don't like the new decor but it does have a good atmosphere.

Still no obvious choice when looking for a decent pint in Broadstairs. We tried this place first, still not keen on the refurb as it's pretty cold and lacks character. I suppose it may appeal to a certain crowd.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Flying Scotsman (superseded by 3.5% version) | 4.00 | | Malty bitter, decent enough. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

Popped in after seeing district 9 at the cinema. Very quiet, a huge change from what this place was like a few years ago. It used to be busy every night. Shame really, you would have thought this pub would be pretty foolproof, but apparently not.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | | Creamy and malty, a decentish pint of Old Speck. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Directors (use Banks's entry now please) | 4.80 | Not Tried |

A Thorley Tavern, one of the better ones as well. Large open plan pub right on the clifftop above the main beach. Really impressive views.
