Relaxed attractive wood-panelled pub almost on the beach, popular with visitors and locals. The guest beer is usually from a Kent brewery, and the house beer, Pearson's Arms Ale, 3.4%, is brewed by Adnams. The upstairs restaurant is run by chef Richard Phillips and has a great view over the beach. There is interesting bar food served downstairs. On Tuesday lunchtime there is a fish and chips or mussels special offer, and on Wednesdays for steak and cocktails, see website for details. Acoustic music is played on Tuesday and Sunday evenings. Recently named in The Times as one of the top 25 places for Sunday lunch. Children under 7 get Sunday lunch free.
