1. The Four Candles
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 72 reviews
The Four Candles is Britain's Smallest Brewpub (not the smallest pub, not the smallest brewery - just the smallest proper micropub that is also a proper microbrewery. We sell an ever-changing selection of our own beers as well as a small range of Biddenden wines, ciders and fruit juices. Ashmore cheese, Kentish pork pies and Black Country pork scratchings. Or a cup of tea or coffee if you insist. No bar, no till, no TV, no piped music. And no lager (as we're not able to make that). Just conversation and good company. We're open every evening and all day Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.

I was recommended to visit this bar and it did not disappoint. On my own but was made to feel very welcome by the girl serving the drinks and indeed the customers who were in the bar. Great beer

I have recently visited and feel very safe and welcome. The safety precautions are the best I have seen with each table divided with make shift walls and each of the staff wearing face masks. The selected beer and spirits are exciting and new, perfect for a micro pub. Highly recommend as a local!!

Popped in to the barrel yesterday evening as they had a mini beer festival. There are some super brews available, I had a beer I hadn't drunk for some time - Theakston's Old Peculiar, every bit as good as I remembered. The usual cheery banter from a convivial bunch of enthusiastic imbibers looked after by Emma. Has to be one of the best micro pubs in the area.

Well ! What a pleasant and unexpected surprise this music venue is and it,s on my doorstep in Thanet too ! We booked tickets in advance at a bargain £7 each to see a good band that I,ve recently discovered called Port Erin who I saw on their website were playing at this venue . If you like Radiohead/ XTC / Talking Heads then you will like this band . Most of their tracks are over 5 minutes long and this 3 piece band played very well on the night . As this venue is small and intimate , I was able to talk with Rueben - Singer/ Guitarist with Port Erin , and we had a great chat afterwards and I think that he appreciated my positive comments about his bands music incl their lastest album . You can't do this at some bigger venues ! The staff ( particularly the barmaid ) were very friendly and chatty . The bar is upstairs from the stage and is very quirky but in an interesting pleasant way Downstairs is where the stage is and the capacity for this venue I understand is approx 130 people . There is what looks like a permanent sound mixing desk and the sound was good on the night if not just slightly too loud . Another feature that I like about this venue is that you can watch what's happening on the stage on a screen upstairs in the bar area . I liked that original idea which I,ve not seen before elsewhere . There also was a projection show going on behind the band as they were playing which you probably would,nt get at other small music venues of this size . This definitely enhanced the enjoyment of Port Erin's performance in my opinion . I noticed that this venue proudly boasts that it has won the best smallest music venue in Britain award ! Well done to the owners who have obviously invested their time and money into this excellent music venue and better still that it is in Thanet too ! So , come music lovers of all types of music and get yourself down to this great little Music venue . I look forward to returning again for a gig very soon !

Stayed in Dover for a couple of nights with a mate and we loved this gem of a micropub, Keith and Debbie could not have been more friendly or welcoming and the beer was top notch and very reasonably priced. Great place to have a proper conversation and unwind and the choice of drinks available very impressive. So glad we found this haven, near to the railway station. Can't wait to return. Thank you both. Mick & Martin

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

My first visit with friends to this little bar and what a great atmosphere. Made to feel welcome upon arrival and a very relaxed atmosphere with a great selection of drinks. Brings back the long lost art of conversation too.

Very friendly micro pub. Staff & customers very talkative. They were serving 3 Kent ales & a really good cider. Tables were socially distanced & there was a screen between 2 of the tables. Hand sanitizer on all tables. Felt very safe. Dogs allowed. It was so good my husband went there 3 times
