Canterbury Bell

You'll find yourself on Margate Road in that stretch between Westwood and Broadstairs where the real Thanet happens—not the seafront tourist bit, but where locals actually live. The Canterbury Bell is the sort of pub that doesn't need to try hard. There's proper beer on tap, the kind of food that doesn't overcomplicate things, and a consistently packed dining room because word travels fast round here. It's the place you go when you want decent company, actual conversation, and something that tastes good without any of the Instagram nonsense.
