Conversion

A Wetherspoon's pub named after the Hammer Horror actor who was a Whitstable resident. It was previously a cinema and is decorated in striking style. The former ticket hall forms an entrance lobby with dado panelling. The old auditorium has a spectacular art deco theme with impressive hanging and wall lights. There are moulded architraves on the walls and a huge wood gantry set with a square clock, also in art deco style. Cinematographic equipment has been salvaged from the first floor projection area to show what was used in the building's previous incarnation. The strong homage to the cinematic past makes this an impressive and interesting place to drink. There are meals all day and real ales available.
