See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Family run pub based in the Wells since 1961. Two cask ales are offered, with the second pump a changing guest usually from a Kent microbrewery such as Rockin Robin or Kent, and up to twenty kegs offering a varied selection of British and Belgian craft beers. The striking interior is adorned with enamel plate signs, family memorabilia and antique church pews, with a large open fire. Sankeys is renowned for its seafood dishes which are served in the pub and also in the attached brasserie. One real cider is stocked, usually sourced from a Kentish producer such as Kentish Pip.
