| Brought a group of 27 here last Saturday lunchtime and they loved the place. I did make special arrangements with Martyn in advance as he usually closes at 1.30 - he stayed open until we left about 3.30 and a great time was enjoyed by all. Thanks for the hot snacks which were very much appreciated and were a nice gesture. Hope to see you again in the not too distant future... BobTheBinman - 30 Nov 2010 10:51 |
| Well, the pub was very much open when a couple of chums and I popped in last Friday, although anyone who knows this pub will realise this doesn't necessarily mean one can get in and stay in, for this is famed as one of Britain's smallest boozers. Provided you're don't have a vast entourage, this is a must for any ale lover, and indeed anybody fascinated by quirky pub interiors. The place is bedecked with innumerable artifacts, some pertaining to its rich history as a butcher's and others to beer history in general. It is odd to have customers lined up on either side of a central floor area, staring in on those standing. But, only vegetarians, and those of a weak disposition generally, would be offended or intimidated by this place or its punters. Friendly wit and banter pervades the palpably enthusiastic atmosphere, and it's impossible not to be drawn in. Oh, the beer? Well, from a selection of 5 available, all drawn direct from cask, I had the Over The Moon. And it was the best I'd had and no mistake. Hophead etc went down equally well with my chums. The only disappointment to me was having to leave. What can you do, especially with so many fine beerhouses in Kent needing attention?! TWG - 25 Jul 2010 17:38 |
| I popped by on the off chance after really 'GETTING OFF MY NUT' at Fat George's all-day knocking shop and opium den. To my surprise the pub was open. I had eight pints of Yootha Joyce mild, half a Buttock's Old Acid Bath Murderer ale and a thimble-full of mulled Umbongo (they drink it in the Congo you know!). WONDERFUL. I floated home, like.

| I visisted on the off chance (I was visiting a nearby knocking shop) and found the place open. I had two pints of Scruttocks Old Detergible, a flagon of Monkcraft's Saucy Maiden and a tankard or three of Umberton's Minky Manky Ale. All were just at the right temperature.
