Attractive pub actually on the beach, please ask for plastic glasses if taking drinks outside to the seating overlooking the Thames estuary and the Isle of Sheppey. The wooden building has been affected by years of storms and the floor has a distinct slope. The hours shown above are for summer opening: in winter the pub opens at noon and may shut early Mon-Wed. Food in winter is usually 12-2.30.
The windows have stained glass TW insets of the former Tomson and Wotton brewery. The film "Venus" starring Peter O'Toole was partly filmed here.
Rebuilt in c.1897, this weather boarded pub unusually situated on the beach with a concrete wall around it. Its original layout has been opened-up but it does retains some old fittings. The main panelled counter is old and due to the pubs wooden foundations it now slopes as does the bare wood floor on the right hand side. A ‘Bottle & Jug Department’ panel in a door on the right indicates a separate off sales section in the past. The toilets on the right end of the building are in a weather boarded extension to the original building, and are also weather boarded. On the left are two small areas, formerly rooms with bare wood floor, a 1930s brick fireplace painted pink, full height panelled walls which look mostly old and bare window bench. The rear area has more full height panelled walls, some modern and the bar counter here is a later addition but looks old. Park on the street called ‘Island Wall’ and walk through ‘Neptune Gap’.
