Pub of the Week: Britannia Inn, Dungeness

For a day out with a difference this summer, why not travel to the unique area of Dungeness, close to Kent’s Romney Marsh? The remote shingle peninsula is a Site of Special Scientific Interest boasting a wealth of unique wildlife.

While you’re there, make sure you sample the food and drink on offer at Dungeness’ only pub The Britannia Inn. It recently reopened following a £200,000 refurbishment and is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the beach, located between two historic lighthouses and next to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch light railway’s Dungeness station. 

Locally caught seafood is a speciality, including the popular Britannia Fish and Chips. A new stone baked pizza oven has been installed so customers can enjoy freshly made pizzas with a variety of toppings. There are also a wide selection of traditional pub classics and light bites on the menu, along with fresh homemade cakes.

Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible, with suppliers including Aldington Fresh Foods, Savages Greengrocers in New Romney, and of course the Dungeness Fish Hut.

Kentish Ale Master Brew is currently being served, along with Bear Island East Coast Pale Ale, Whitstable Bay Pale Ale, Whitstable Bay Blonde Lager, Spitfire Lager, Guinness and Orchard View Cider. 

The Britannia Inn is open from 11am, Monday to Sunday, and food is served every day.
