First opened in November 2010. This micropub was the first in Thanet and set the scene. It is now under new management and re-opened on 31st August 2023. Open plan layout with sofas on one side and a long padded bench on the other side, the latter having come from the now closed local Yard of Ale micropub. The layout, with no bar counter, makes table service the order of the day. The wall decoration includes a nautical theme. Cask ales and ciders are served on gravity dispense from a multi-tiered chilled cabinet. Cask ales are mainly from Kentish brewers with some from further afield. Large range of boxed ciders, not all of which are considered by CAMRA to be real with Lilley's falling into that category. Some wines and spirits are available.
