BE IN THE HOSPITALITY SPOTLIGHT BY WORKING IN THRIVING THANET WITH SHEPHERD NEAME

At Ramsgate, the Belle Vue Tavern in Pegwell Road, boasts the 'Balcony of Kent' at its rear, where you can enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets, as well as some of the best sea views in the county.

And a stone's throw away, standing on the magnificent clifftop at Kingsgate, Broadstairs, is the picture-perfect Botany Bay (pictured, right), a minute's stroll from the beach, with 30 recently refurbished rooms, a welcoming lounge bar and an a la carte restaurant.

The area has long been popular with film crews and its magnificent views and iconic spots have featured in many a film and TV series.

BBC's Dracula filmed at surfers' paradise Joss Bay in Birchington in 2020, and ITV's psychological thriller, Liar, filmed at Walpole Bay in Margate the same year, as well as at Shepherd Neame's Zetland Arms in Kingsdown, Deal, just 16 miles away.

Many TV series have highlighted the area's picturesque spots, including the BBC's River Walks with former pop star turned farmer JB Gill in 2018; Fantasy Homes by the Sea in 2018; Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year in 2018, and ITV's Britain's Favourite Walks with Julia Bradbury in 2018.
