Overlooking Minnis Bay, where Barnes Wallace tested his famous bouncing bombs, the Minnis Bay Bar has one of the best vistas from any pub in Thanet. With friendly staff the establishment prides itself on sourcing local produce. During the summer months the outside seating area provides a welcoming oasis to enjoy the stunning view across the bay. Taken over in spring 2015 by Shepherd Neame who have now extended the pub to give a larger bar area and it now has a balcony bar for private functions. Real ale isn't a priority at this pub and can sometimes be unavailable. It also has a beer kiosk open in Summer months selling some keg offerings sold in plastic glasses for enjoying on the beach.
