Micropub.

Friendly micropub located a five-minute stroll from the beach at Minnis Bay, near Birchington. The bar counter serves real ales on gravity dispense from a temperature-controlled stillage with ciders and wines available. A selection of seating inside and out offers a comfortable environment to suit all. The real ale selection always includes at least one local beer. Bar snacks available and occasional pop-up food events. This standout little micropub has been in the Guide 2020, 2021 and 2022.
