Sir Stanley Gray

Head down to Pegwell Road towards the village end and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Sir Stanley Gray sits comfortably within the Pegwell Bay Hotel, the sort of place where you can nurse a pint without someone trying to sell you an experience. The crowd's unpretentious—mix of locals, the odd tourist who's wandered off the seafront, people who've been coming here for years. You get decent ales, honest pub food that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, and actual conversation that isn't drowned out by Spotify playlists.
