We visited over a year ago for the first time. We return just after lockdown to find this bar still alive and kicking. Great beer served perfectly, great banter with friendly locals - all served by a great host. All the social distancing and covid secure arrangements you could want. Has a great view of the beach, we will be back

Reviewed By MikeJD2015 - Rochester, United Kingdom

We've been coming to Margate since I was a child and this is the first time I have stepped into Westbrook beach, it's a lovely stretch of golden sand, much quieter than its busy neigbour and better for it, ideal for a winter walk, blue skies and all.

Pie Factory

Reviewed By A3303XQpaulh - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

Pie factory it is not or who ate all the pies? No doubt was a pie place once. From pies to pictures. It's an art gallery. Good one at that. There are classic painters and sculptures. Also a great opportunity for new artists to display their creations. Toilets and cafe and lots of car parking. Staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable.
