The Duchess, Dover

Basic boozer at the start of the short link passing under the A20 between the town centre and seafront. Partly opened-out inside with an irregularly shaped arrangement featuring the bar in the centre, a side seating and darts area off to the left and a few more tables in The Storekeeper's Office before you get to the pool table at the back on the right-hand side. No cask ale, with Brixton Reliance (£3.90) and Beavertown's Neck Oil being the least dull options on the elongated hooped keg fount.
