A Wetherspoon pub directly opposite Margate Sands with stunning balcony views across the sea, harbour, and beach. Hardly the most prepossessing architectural building, it is nonetheless highly rated by the local CAMRA branch due to friendly staff, and the quality, range and price of their cask beers. Many of their ales are from local breweries. An accommodating management team understand and value real ale. A Guide entry for the last three years it presents a useful food and drink venue.
