The pub offers a great range of (mostly local) beers and ciders, including Ramsgate, Northdown and Five Point. Sensitively redesigned and very welcoming, it will initially open from Thurs to Sun, 12-11, until the autumn when it resumes normal service. Hot-desking during the day should be available from October. The pub is named after a train that ran on the London Chatham Dover Railway which in turn was named after a somewhat famous bard. All cask ales are £3.50 a pint on Sundays and Mondays.
