I just can't stay away from this place.
Visited on the evening of England's triumphant World Cup demolition of Algeria. With me was Big Chief Wha-Wha, my spirit guide in the afterworld. Also with our group were Lord and Lady Flange of Bongochester and a man with a dagger stuffed down his sock.
It was very busy but we managed to get a table in the restaurant area. We all opted for the �456 set menu, which included brown rice to start, egg, chips and mushrooms to follow and artctic roll for pub.
With this we drank a full-bodied Diamond White and several crates of Lunnock's Sheepdog Dip Stout.
Double yummy!

Visited once again with Lord Halibut of Hailsham, who is sponsoring me this year in my attempt to eat a wooden breakfast tray.
I drank a pint of Lunnock's Old Surgeon Spleen Ale and ordered the mixed platter, which featured poached deer forelock, onion skin dim sum and toasted jackdaw. Yummy

Ignore my previous report...it was intended for the Captain Digby in Thanet.
Well, it's easily done...isn't is KOTB?

Despite being part of a chain, this pub has a real community feel to it. They run football, darts and pool teams, and also encourage their customers to pursue such activities as korfball, quizzing, gambling on the dogs, eating chips, telling off naughty kids for running around the pub and absailing.
Staff are on the surly side, although landlord is OK and has a goatee like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves.
I visited with my wife Gloria, mistress Dion and mother and father, Rita and Harry. My probation officer, Lord Thunnock of Dundee, was with us in spirit.
We all ordered the �1.50 set menu, which consisted of dim sum to start, rack of lamb with roasted veg for mains and a lemon sorbet for 'afters'. We each drank a complimentary bottle of WKD Blue, followed by five bottles Bulgarian merlot...each.
I'll certainly be back.

Ignore my previous report, it was intended for The Plough Inn just up the road, apologies !!

Went here one Sunday lunchtime last month . Big pub with its own restaurant/carvery. Had lunch which was reasonably priced and tasted good except for the frozen roast spuds. Quite busy, so assume it has a regular clientele. Kid friendly too.
3 or 4 ales on, I chose the Ruddles, very nice !!
May go back...

It's on the Herne Bay Road, on the left, heading toward the sea.
