The Smugglers Inn
Welcome to our charming village pub, steeped in a rich history of smuggling, nestled just a short distance from the coastal town of Herne Bay. This establishment boasts a heritage dating back four centuries, and for the past 16 years, it has been under the dedicated stewardship of the same landlord. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the cozy atmosphere of our saloon bar, characterized by its low ceiling, birch thatching, hanging hops, and warm wood panelling. For those seeking a more casual setting, our public bar offers a pool table and dartboard for your enjoyment. Outside, our garden is a delightful retreat, complete with a bat and trap pitch for those inclined towards traditional pub games. The space is further enhanced by the vibrant display of our hanging flower baskets. We take pride in serving a variety of beers, including occasional offerings from Shepherd Neame's microbrewery. As a convenient bonus, regular bus services pass right by our doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you to our pub, where history and hospitality blend seamlessly.
