Just Reproach, Deal

Friendly town-centre micropub

Branch Pub of the Year Finalist 2023

This friendly, family-run micro-pub is located in Deal's town centre. It has a welcoming, convivial atmosphere which encourages conversation between customers.

With its high benches and table service, the pub takes everything back to the absolute fundamentals: no keg, no fruit machines, no music. Fines are levied for using a mobile phone to make and receive calls and you risk severe opprobrium (derision) from other customers!! (All proceeds go to charity).

Ale and cider is gravity dispensed from a temperature-controlled cool room. Four real ales are on offer, five on a Friday, usually featuring one from a Kent brewery. The real ciders typically feature one from a Kent cidermaker. There's also a wide, ever-changing selection of national and international Craft beers, in cans and bottles.

Also available are wines, Prosecco, a range of gins and quality soft drinks.

Snacks are the usual range of nuts and crisps.The pub is also a handy place for a pint while waiting for your take-away from one of the nearby businesses

The pub is kept very busy with a variety of events, including quiz nights, vegetable growing competitions, cycling and golf. Many of these are charity events with over £20,000 being raised, which includes £14,000 for the Pilgrims Hospice.

They also like cheese, with the pub's Cheese Sunday, on the first Sunday of very month.

Dogs and children welcome.

The pub is adjacent to public car parking.
