Whether it’s the food, the drink, the good company or the strong role in the community (ideally, all of them) that makes it stand out, we were searching for the best pubs in the county. Aside from the great ale and food, we were looking for an establishment that always offer a warm welcome and a friendly goodbye to ensure you return.

Our finalists are:

• Four Fathoms, Herne Bay

• The George Restaurant & Bar, Molash

• The White Horse, Dover

And the winner is...

Four Fathoms!
