| Well what a difference from the previous review since the Hythe's re-development. I remember when this pub was on it's own with nothing around it. Now there are shops and flats in abundance and probably lots more customers. The Spinnaker is a traditional pub with a public bar and there is also a lounge area. This is presumably used more for dining at lunch times or weekends and busy times. There is a dartboard and I gather they have a pub team. The pub has two hand pumps although I was told they only use one at a time now. Shepherd Neame Spitfire was on today which was good. It looked like GK IPA might be next so I am glad I timed my visit when the Spitfire was available. I noticed some reasonably priced food on the blackboards in front of the bar. The food is only available between 12:00 and 2:00 daily. Music was being played at a reasonable sound level from a stereo from behind the bar to not impede conversation.
