Recommended by the lovely staff at furlongs (another great pub) we came in here for a few drinks before we headed back home on the train. Incredible beer selection and the staff made me and my partner feel so welcome. Norah and Jack gave us great information on the beers and let my hubby try probably more than he needed. we will definitely be back soon. My only criticism would be they have no background music but when the locals piled in it did not matter to much.

“Vino” is a cozy place where you can really feel at your own ease. A very good selection of wines, accompanied with delicious salami and tasty cheese are what you can surely find in this micro pub. The owner Fabio and the whole personnel are really welcoming and always available to explain how to combine the dishes with the perfect wine. The great professionality added to the typical Italian kind attitude, make “Vino” a very nice place where to spend good time in good company. Highly recommended!

Kent Wildlife Trust should be congratulated on preserving this important site by the Swale estuary. A haven for wildfowl and waders throughout the migrant year. The sometimes desolate coastal landscape is an absolute must for ornithologists and walkers alike.

A must for a visit. Such a beautiful church with so much history. Be sure to see the choir pews as they contain very intricate ate carvings under the seats.
