See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Welcoming micropub with bench seating for 30 customers round old workshop tables. The beer range changes regularly and is mainly sourced from a wide selection of microbreweries countrywide, often including beers from Kent. The selection and range is too numerous to mention. Local snacks are also available. The pub is named after the bombs used in Operation Chastise, the Dambuster raids, which were tested off the coast nearby. The pub has a mural of a Lancaster flying past the Reculver Towers. Cask ales and ciders are served on gravity dispense from a temperature controlled cellar room. There are regular small beer festivals throughout the year.
