Bars & Pubs

Though claiming to be the oldest pub on the river, the Ramsgate looks like it had a refurb in the '70s - all patterned carpet and chunky wood tables. But it's full of nautical bric-a-brac and the odd historic manuscript. This much-loved hostelry serves comforting burgers, roasts and beer-battered fish and chips. Equally comforting was the service - warm and welcoming when we visited on a wet Sunday afternoon. On tap you'll find Adnams, Young's Bitter and even Beck's. We'll be back when the sun's out to take advantage of the terrace overlooking the river.
