This is a large public house attached to a hotel. It has multiple seating areas and a goodly sized bar. It was part of the Premier Inn, Table Table and Whitbread PLC empire but as of October 2026 it is now run by Queensway Inns who have acquired more than fifty of such sites.

It is assumed to have cask ale, also the meal times shown here may not be entirely correct.

Information for this venue is provided by the Thanet Branch of CAMRA
