Copper Rivet Distillery

You're walking along Leviathan Way with the marina stretching out beside you when you spot the Pump House — a Grade II listed Victorian structure that's been given new life as Chatham's only working distillery. Inside, copper stills gleam under industrial beams as the team craft small-batch gin, vodka and other spirits using proper techniques and local where they can manage it. It's the kind of place that makes you realise the Dockyard's had a genuine revival, not just chain restaurants and corporate boxes.
