Ales Of The Unexpected

A proper neighbourhood boozer on Canterbury Road where the craft beer selection actually matters and the staff know their stuff.

You'll find yourself on Canterbury Road in Westbrook, that bit of Margate that feels properly lived-in rather than polished up for the seafront crowd. Ales Of The Unexpected is exactly what a local pub should be—the kind of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers get the proper welcome. The whole draw here is the beer list: they've clearly put real thought into what's on tap and in the fridge, ranging from big names to smaller breweries you won't find everywhere. It's not trying to be trendy about it either; there's just genuine passion for good ale running through the place.
