Rose In June

This back-street local is named after a boat once berthed in Margate harbour. The pub first appears in the local directory about 1832. It was a tiny front parlour pub in a terrace known as Belmont Cottages. In 1890 the pub incorporated the adjacent cottage. Its Victorian saloon bar is a classic of its type. This heirloom of a bar retains the original backdrop with its inlaid mirrors and superb gilt leather frieze. Paradoxically the pub bar/games room - though modern in style - predates the saloon by 60 years.
