Early evening visit. My first here since the venue opened. Rather subdued lighting and found the beer choice difficult to read being in white ink on glass next to pumpclips. Obviously a friendly sort of place.

Moot Brew - Waystone3.80AcceptableMissed it was hazy, when ordering. Murky bland brew that could have been improved by more condition and mouthfeel. Did not enjoy

Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur5.90GoodIce cold and £4.40 a pint. But enjoyable and flavoursome.
Titanic - Plum Porter4.90Good£4.20 and ice cold on a wet afternoon. Very nice despite the temperature. Of the beer not the cold day!

My first visit to this new addition to the Thanet micropub scene. Doing a roaring trade this afternoon with all tables occupied. Well worth a visit and handy for the railway station.

First visit. 6 beers on all at £4 a pint. 2 could be had at mind the gap 25% cheaper. Most expensive micropub we found in Broadstairs today. Think landlor needs to check prices in other micros not the sheps pubs.

Kent - Prohibition4.80ExcellentNice pint
