THE LOWDOWN

Pomus is Margate’s buzzy neighbourhood wine bar and restaurant that proves you don’t need sea views to be a destination. Tucked into the heart of town, it’s all about seasonal sharing plates, low-waste cooking and a constantly evolving menu designed for grazing, lingering and ordering “just one more plate”. Expect bold flavours, natural-leaning wines and genuinely warm, unfussy service that makes it feel like a local favourite from the moment you walk in.

Downstairs, there’s also a private tasting room for 6–10 guests, perfect for wine flights, intimate dinners or celebratory evenings that feel a little more special.

THE LOCATION

Right in the centre of Margate, Pomus is perfectly placed for a pre-dinner stop, post-beach wander or full evening out in town. While it doesn’t come with coastal views, it more than makes up for it with atmosphere. It’s lively, welcoming and always softly buzzing, especially at weekends.

FOOD & DRINK

This is a menu that changes with the seasons and leans heavily into sharing. Think small plates packed with punchy flavour, designed to be ordered alongside an expertly curated wine list that champions interesting bottles you won’t find everywhere else. From easy-drinking glasses to something a little more adventurous, it’s a spot for people who genuinely love wine and food in equal measure.
