About the Diamond Pub Guide
On Wednesday, December 12th 2007 we launched a guide to the real ale pubs on the Diamond Bus route.
The Diamond Bus route is a great way to visit the real ale pubs in our branch, particularly those in rural areas, without having to worry about drinking and driving, and a Day Explorer ticket, currently £5.00, makes this particularly cost effective.
The guide, developed in partnership with Stagecoach East Kent, lists over 100 real ale pubs within a 500m (5 minutes) walk of a bus stop on the Diamond Bus route (i.e. 13, 14, 15, 88 and 89). Our aim is to promote real ale and real ale pubs in the area, while encouraging the use of the local bus services provided by Stagecoach.
With the Thanet Loop and Triangle Route, the Diamond Pub Guide is the third real ale guide to be produced by CAMRA and Stagecoach, covering bus routes in East Kent.
Copies of the guide will be distributed to local real ale pubs, bus offices, tourist offices and libraries and will shortly be available on our website. You can also get a copy of the guide by sending a stamped addressed envelope to Outspan, The Street, Finglesham, Deal, Kent, CT14 0ND.
