Situated just off Deal's seafront, this is a public house that doesn't pretend to be anything other than a pub. Unspoilt and traditional, it is located in Deal's historic conservation area, 10 minutes' walk from the town centre .

Dark wooden floors and subdued lighting give this pub a warm and comfortable atmosphere, complemented by the nautical theme. The stove, in the carpeted lounge, is welcome in winter.

A wide variety of drinkers, from young to old, enjoy the good range of beers dispensed from the five handpumps, including beers from Ramsgate and Dark Star.

The pub has a small cosy rear bar overlooking a large patio garden accessed by a staircase. The covered smoking area has a clock large enough for you to have no excuse for missing last orders! Please note that electronic cigarettes are not allowed in the pub.

Dog chews can be purchased, with the monies raised being donated to charity.Historic England Entry: 1261597
