Cinque Ports

Cinque Ports in Margate is a Georgian seaside pub with sea views and dogs welcome inside, which means everyone can settle in together while the view does most of the work. Its public profile leans into drinks with a view, but the menu and event mentions suggest it works as more than just a scenic stop.

The pub handles an easy afternoon drink, a food stop or a longer seafront evening without losing that classic Margate-pub appeal. It's the kind of place where you can plan around the tide times or just turn up when the pavement gets too hot for paws.

Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while someone else orders. It's a handy seafront stop when you want sea air, a drink and a dog-friendly seat all in one go.
