Set just a short walk from Margate’s seafront and historic harbour, The Bull’s Head combines classic pub character with a relaxed, contemporary feel.

Sunday lunch - with roasted meats, Yorkshire pudding and rich gravy - is a particular highlight, celebrating traditional flavours with a modern touch.
Complementing the food is a broad drinks list featuring local ales, craft beers, wines and creative cocktails. The pub’s casual dining style and diverse drink options cater to a wide range of preferences, from lunchtime meet-ups to relaxed dinners or social gatherings in the evening.
