Cask Ale

Built in 1843, this lively pub is close to the historic Reculver Towers and a Roman fort whose walls can still be seen. The pub is in the renowned Reculver Country Park and is a popular destination on fine weekends and holidays. It is also on the Viking Trail, Regional Cycle Network 15. A wide range of good value food is served, with roasts on Sundays, and a shellfish stall in summer. There are occasional quiz nights with a hot buffet for £5. There is a sunny terrace and a children's play area in the garden. At least one beer is usually from a Kent brewery.
