Home Taproom (formerly The Tontine Tavern, The Troubadour of Kent) (Angels & Demons)
Visits Details
30 Jul 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close. No real ale on, there rarely is apparently. Tried (both Angels & Demons) Bombay Social and Raspberry Black Taxi to the Moon keg beers - full of flavour but very gassy and not a patch on the more rounded cask versions.
11 May 2019 (ChrisE)
No cask beer on so I had a half of keg and moved on. Cask should be available in a week or two.

Lunchtime visit, the owners are just back from Hong Kong and Singapore and are really enjoying the cold weather. Reasonably busy considering the pub was closed for most of January.

Evening until 10.30pm close. As always beaten to the earlier lunchtime first day session by ChrisE who is up with the lark or never sleeps! Very hospitable with gratis buffet tonight and run by a very friendly family, all mucking in tonight, who were inspired and helped by the Guv at The Just Reproach, Deal in setting up and training for their venture. Very much a work in progress with boarded up broken front window and it was a unique feature to have the lights flickering as an unintended consequence of someone regularly leaning against the panel of switches.

| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Quite the best Jaipur I have had for some time |
