 COTTAGE (formerly Island Taverna) 19 High Street Margate Kent CT9 1DL 01843 224466 PUB CLOSED AT CHRISTMAS AND FOR SALE APH Unknown Real Ale (H) The front of the building is said to date from 1760, when it was known as Portugal House, and was used as an importing house for Port. In the 19th century the business was acquired by the Ramsgate brewer/wine importer, E G Wastall, who used the front part as an off license and the rear extension as a wine lodge. Wastall relinquished its interest in the place in 1969 and the placed became the Cottage. In the 70s and 80s it was run by the larger then life Jim Watson and his wife, when it became a Mecca for real ale. Jim sold the business in the mid 90s and the place has had a up and down time since, being closed for a while and then becoming a Italian restaurant before the owner decided to return it to a pub. |

 FLAG & WHISTLE 1 Station Approach Margate Kent CT9 5AD 01843 227329 APH No Real Ale This free house formerly Whitbread was built as the Station Hotel by Ramsgate brewers Tomson & Wotton shortly after the town's station opened in 1863.

 GEORGE HOTEL PUB CLOSED AND CONVERTED INTO INDIAN RESTAURANT 44 King Street Margate Kent CT9 1QE 01843 223699 This vintage three-storey hostelry dates from the mid-18th century. Its leaded glass windows publicise Cobbs Ales and Stouts whose brewery entrance was across the road until its closure in 1968. It was therefore a show piece hotel for the brewery. Although the hotel service is no more, its coaching inn past is still evident today in the adjoining stable/coach house complex. A German bombing raid that destroyed the nearby Holy Trinity church in June 1943 also damaged the pub, with the hotel's reception building on the corner of King Street being hit and demolished. The present entrance is in an old bow window space. |
