Came in to make an emergency call, the owner and his niece asked me to leave and while I was on the phone I ordered a water and they refused, quite literally pushing and dragging me out and grabbing and twisting my sprained wrist. So if you are poor and cannot even afford a coke/lemonade and you don’t want the people in charge trying to force you to drink alcohol then I would highly recommend giving this venue a miss.Did initially go in to grab a lemonade but they served all of the customers who pushed in front first and refused me service which they are well within their rights to do as a business, and they are well within their rights to remove patrons with reasonable force. I find it very morally corrupt the fact they do not let homeless people inside or even outside of their venue too.1/5

We had a 4 hour layover between our train and driver to catch the ferry to France. The most memorable time in the UK. The owner, bartenders and locals were very friendly and welcoming. They not only welcomed us but our 10 pieces of luggage. I will always remember the time here at this pub and my friends in Dover.

A friendly pub just a few steps away from Dover's train station. We had a couple of drinks and a meal here after exploring Dover on a day trip. The pub grub wasn't bad, and was cheap (mains for £7), and they also had Thai food on the menu which sounded good but we didn't try this time. Nice little beer garden out back too.

What a fun experience! (We just had drinks and food, didn’t stay in the hotel). Small town pub, no frills but loaded with character and local characters! Great location next to the train station, and the best part was the fabulous, and inexpensive, Thai food!

Next door to Dover Priory rail station. This is not a restaurant so please don't expect restaurant service, but has a Thai chef and very affordable authentic thai food. £28 for 2. This is a locals' local, a traditional pub with very good Thai food. Strongly recommend.

We choose this place to spend sometime before catching a train to London on a Sunday night.There were kids setting up the live music setup. We sat there having coffee and hot chocolate. There is no food on Sunday’s just drinks but other days they have roast dinners. Also they have live music in Sundays and we were lucky to be there that time (7-9:30pm )The band performance was extraordinary and I am sure I ll see these guys in bigger platforms. I wants able to find them online or on Instagram but they were amazing!Met a nice person names Mike who was really welcoming and told us more about how the band formed.The pub is nice and cosy. The staff were helpful and very warm. Thee vibes here were great.
