Waterfront Free House, Whitstable

Seemingly mostly a music venue, and often only open in the evening, but starting to get custom on an unseasonably warm October Sunday afternoon. The bar and events space is at first-floor level, as is its best feature; a balcony overlooking the sea with a splendid unobstructed view. Sadly, the solitary handpump was not in use, but a couple of Brixton beers (including the Coldharbour Lager, £3.00, half) were available in addition to some national brands.
