18th C. village pub.

This friendly, 18th C. village pub is located in the village of St. Margarets-at-Cliffe, a centre of operations in the dark days of smuggling. A short walk from the pub is a fine example of a Norman church, dating back to the year 1000AD.

The main bar area is centred around an imposing bar constructed in the shape of a mash tun. It has a modern, but comfortable atmosphere to have a drink or a meal.

At the back there is a light, conservatory-style restaurant and a large courtyard garden.

Their regular ale is Greene King IPA and up to two other ales, which come from a variety of breweries including occasional beers from Kent.

There is an extensive and varied menu, including pizzas, Mexican, steak, fish, chicken and a specials board. Tuesday is Tapas night and there are Sunday roasts.

Dogs are welcome in the main bar area, although restrictions may apply during busy times.

There is free car parking about 100m from the pub.
