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.

I've been to Margate many times and one of the places on my go to list is always a trip to Burley and Field in UpMargate. The store has the most delightful antiques and furniture for sale, which are lovingly upcycled into super stylish pieces. If you're looking to buy unique furniture that's been beautifully transformed make a visit!

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 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.
