In the heart of the charming Kent market town, there’s no better place for locals and visitors to enjoy a pint than The Vaults. And while they’ve become known for their selection of local ales, they’re gaining a reputation for their homecooked British favourites. Perfect for any casual occasion, they’d make a fine setting for a relaxed family meal or catch-up with friends.
Formerly The Old Albion Wine Vaults until 1965, the historic building has remained a favourite watering hole for quite some time. In fact, the building was originally a 16th century public house. Today, guests can still appreciate its period charm with features such as wood flooring, exposed brick walls and beams.
Using locally-sourced ingredients, The Vaults change their menus with the seasons to give their guests the best flavours in each dish. This means there’s always something new to enjoy with each visit. Well-known dishes have included the likes of farmhouse sausage and mash, baked camembert and flame-grilled ribeye. Pudding is just as enticing with options such as sticky toffee pudding and crumble.
Whether it’s a get-together with friends or a date night, there’s no better destination than The Vaults. Any visit will be even more memorable for Gourmet Society members who can enjoy money off their bills when they call to book ahead and present their cards upon arrival. It’s the perfect excuse for another round of drinks, dessert or a starter.
