Website

17th century Grade II listed Wetherspoon's close to the Westgate, one of the finest medieval gateways in Britain. The pub has been modified and rebuilt and has lost much of its timber frame and original features. It is not as big as many Wetherspoon's and has several different areas to break up the interior. The Westgate and river banks can be seen from the front areas. Popular with students. There is often a beer from a local brewery, though the range has been limited recently. There are many beer festivals and other events, see website for details.

Information for this venue is provided by the Canterbury Herne Bay & Whitstable Branch of CAMRA
