My local pub for about 25 years. Had some fun times here. IPA always good and bar staff lovely. Never any trouble and a good mix of clientele from all age groups.

Apart from the very beautiful bar staff this bar has very little going for it, unless you like the very cliquey, boring people, oh and the smell of the nearby public toilet and sewarage outflow, then you will love this place.

Its a real shame because their new extention must have cost a fortune.
I suppose that's why everybody is packed in like stowaways{ inn the ship}whilst they take in that very special ' Eau de Toilette' which fills the air.

Not to mention some useless herbert who pretends to be the pub landlord by going around collecting glasses whilst breathing his foul smelling bad breadth in your direction whilst dictating his dislikes to anybody around.
If this is this sort of place you are used to, then good luck, ...don't forget the gas mask!

Perfectly pleasant and comfortable pub nestled between the sea and the looming hill - and the busy road to Hythe/Folkestone. Parking might be an issue, but on my previous visit a space was easily procured. This enabled the sampling of the well-kept Harvey's Old, nice to see this fine beer in this part of East Kent. The barmaid was efficient and courteous and the other clientele, mainly aging diners partaking of the very reasonably priced lunch, well mannered. There is nothing exceptional about this pub other than for the fact that it hasn't been ruined by forced upmarket or by some ill-judged makeover. It's a civil, simple pub that keeps its beer well.

Good to see you took my advice to "get out more" but if your going to post comments which obviously will be read by others expect to take the consequences. Also what is this obsession about your "drop in income", it couldn't of been that drastic or you still wouldn't be going out drinking!
