This alehouse features Kentish ales, ciders and others from further afield, including craft keg beers. The beer and cider loving owners are also passionate about live music and hold monthly jam sessions as well as organising the Broadstairs Jazz Festival. A central beer bottle chandelier and large picture windows flood light across comfortable spaces for friends, family and couples, dog friendly too. The Magnet is named after the boys periodical that featured Billy Bunter, whose creator was a local resident.
