Originally a weatherboard cottage in 1861, the current pub was built by Mackeson's, the Hythe brewers, in 1898. The cottage was demolished in the 1930s. The pub took its name from one of the boats which fished the famous oyster beds. The restaurant and garden have great views of the Thames and Swale estuaries. There is a lot going on, including live music, BBQs and golf days.
Royal Naval Reserve
