Banks, Margate

Not hard to guess what this corner building's previous use was, but this is now an 'Ale & Wine' house but also with a wide range of drinks so there's probably something here for most people. A few more tables than one might expect, but the interior doesn't feel cluttered. Four decorative handpumps can be found on the counter, but the cask ales are actually dispensed by gravity from three rather inconspicuous taps behind the counter on the right-hand side adjoining the cool store. Dark Star Hophead (£4.00) and Prohibition from Kent Brewery were available on my visit.
