The Black Dog, Whitstable

Excellent little single-room pub with a good choice of ales, mostly local, all in excellent condition. Quirky and characterful decor with more than a hint of the gothic and a good smattering of humour. High tables, banquettes and stools, friendly and efficient service from the tiny bar. Ales on gravity in a little ante-room. This is a proper pub, a pleasure to visit and I shall look forward to doing so next time I'm in town.

The Lifeboat, Margate

A nice, informal little pub. I visited on a cold winter evening when the fire was roaring and filling the place with the lovely aroma of woodsmoke. I tried only two of the ales from the stillage in the middle of the pub; a Westerham Double Stout and another which I've forgotten, but they were both in tip-top condition. The other punters were mostly 20s-30s and the atmosphere was easy-going and moderately lively. Service was prompt and friendly and I found nothing to mither about. I didn't try the food on this occasion but have had mackerel here on a previous visit and it was fresh and tasty and perfectly cooked. I come here every time I visit Margate and will definitely continue to do so. I wish there was a pub like this near me.
