Half a mill refit and reopened with a disappointing selection of beers. Loads of new seats and tables to pack in the punters who want to eat.

Mid afternoon fairly busy with the stereotypical Spoonites associated with such venues including the pushchair brigade with their screaming accessories. Our group had finished a round of crazy golf early so decided to pop in here until the real pubs opened. I've only listed the non National Blands..

|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - Bread of Heaven | 4.00 | | Does what it says on the tin - alas on the tired side and a struggle to finish. |
| Whitstable - Cockle Warmer | 4.70 | | Sharp acetic twang to this, luckily only a taster |

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1XJ.
Typical Wetherspoon's, although at one time was a Lloyds No.1 Bar at the weekend thus got pretty busy and had music playing loudly at the weekend. Since early 2013 the formerly dance floor partitioned off area for weekend music has been converted to carpeted bar seating to make this Wetherspoon traditional through and through. 10 handpumps in 2 banks of 5.
We have visited this pub 77 times, seen 138 different beers and tried 74 of them.
