Came for a meal. Very busy leading to fairly slow, though friendly, service.

Fairly busy with a mix of retired dinners and hi-vis clad workmen. Aimiable place.

Mid afternoon and fairly busy. We had an hour to kill before the Butchers Arms 17.30 opening so I suggested coming here. Possibly the worst decision I've ever made during my beer drinking career! Young uninterested barman lacked any empathy whatsoever to our plight!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Spirit of Kent XXX Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Vile - a pint of disgusting murky sweet and sour sugar water. Exchanged for the similar Whitstable Bay Pale Ale. |
| Shepherd Neame - The Faversham Steam Brewery - Whitstable Bay Pale Ale | 3.90 | | Ditto my comments for the Spirit Of Kent. Exchanged for 3 halves of rip off Neck Oil which I deemed not even worthy of noting. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Brunning & Price Traditional Bitter | 3.40 | Not Tried | Top marks for all the details of provenance etc displayed on the pump clip. |

Afternoon visit as the lunchtime trade was drawing to a close. I sat in a quiet corner and enjoyed a couple of pints and a meal.

Afternoon visit with a group of former work colleagues. We found the place a bit too warm for our liking and chose to sit as far away from the fire as possible.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - IPA | 3.50 | | In good condition. |
| Hopdaemon - Red | 4.20 | | One of the best pints of this I have had for some time. |
| Phoenix - Brunning & Price Original Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | I ordered one of these but it ran out. It was replaced later with a new cask after the lines had been flushed through. |

Mid afternoon and our group came in here for a late lunch, a few others in here had decided to do the same. I was disappointed with my meagre steak sandwich which would have been £6.25 had it not been for ChrisE's 25% shareholder discount.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - IPA | 3.50 | | Perfect condition with all the distinctive nutty Harvey's flavours one could wish for. |
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | Not Tried | Teasing us with a 'coming soon' label... |

Late afternoon, after 4, still very busy with diners but a nice atmosphere in the bar area and not too crowded. Beers a little samey. The rhubarb cider got a thumbs-up from my daughter.
