Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Unit 1
Converted shed in a craft centre beside the Royal Military Canal with some rustic elements to the indoor seating area and (when I visited, much busier) courtyard beer garden. All beers and ciders were dispensed from what appear to beer a row of 12 craft keg taps on the bar-back, but three of these actually dispense real ale: Fallout and Martello (£3.50) from HopFuzz (whose brewery is located in another unit on the same site) and Romney Marsh Sunset. The HopFuzz lager was also noted.

Will Larter left this review about The Hop Fuzz Brewery Tap
This is the brewery tap for Hop Fuzz Brewery, as the name suggests, though in fact the board above the entrance makes no mention of this, simply describing it as Unit Number One. It's only open between Friday and Sunday, opening at noon and closing at 9pm. We arrived one Friday afternoon, when the roads through this quiet part of Romney Marsh were packed in both directions with what looked like rush hour traffic - we were unable to determine if this was a regular occurrence or the result of roadworks. Quite a few local people had already made their way to this small industrial estate and were consigning their memories of the working week to history.
There are a few benches outside, and some tables and chairs dotted about the concrete floor of the building. The bar counter is no more than a hatch in the far corner, with a couple of casks on stillage behind, and one key keg font on the counter. As well as their own beers (Martello and Fallout from the barrel, and Triumph Stout from the keg), I noticed that some lager and cider drinkers were also being accommodated, with a selection of keg fonts and bottled beers plus soft drinks being available. I was offered a taster of Fallout, which I didn't like, and went instead for the Martello, which was ok but not really in good condition. The stout, though, was very nice and I would have had more if only we hadn't had to get back on our bikes and negotiate that traffic jam.
