The 18th century Ship Inn (the town's oldest pub), is located on Herne Bay seafront, overlooking the promenade and beach, with great sea views. Plenty of comfortable seating inside, and an outside deck area for the warmer months. Live music every Friday at 9pm, open mic night on the second Wednesday of each month, quiz night on the last Tuesday of each month. The menu is locally sourced wherever possible, and seafood dishes are always available. See the Chef's Specials.
