We are now taking bookings for 2027 - and 2028, if you wanna be mega organised!

'A rich and powerful sound, that moves from blistering blues with a rock edge, to sassy soul and tracks with a down and dirty funk vibe. Offering classic and contemporary favourites, Stormy Sundays are an experienced four-piece band, based in Kent, who draw on a catalogue of music from Etta James, Beverley Knight, Amy Winehouse, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, Solomon Burke, Chris Stapleton, Santana and Stevie Wonder.'

🔙 THROWBACK THURSDAY 🔙

Back in 1995, Armin and Janet Birks arrived in Whitstable from Germany with a simple passion, great beer, and a place to share it. That passion became The Ship. 🍺

Nearly 30 years on, their legacy lives on through son Roland and the team, still pouring cask ales worthy of CAMRA and The Good Beer Guide, and still holding the doors open as a proper community hub through thick and thin.

As John Brooks once put it: "The pub is a confessional, where secrets are told and shared, where souls torn are bared." 💬

Here's to the Birks family, and to 30 years of The Ship. 🙌

Sorry folks, we're closing our doors a little earlier today, at 6pm. 🍺

It's bank holiday, and after a busy one we want to give our brilliant staff a well-deserved evening off. They work hard for you all year round, so tonight's on us!

Normal hours resume tomorrow, come and see us then, the doors (and the taps) will be open as usual.

Thanks for understanding, and enjoy the rest of your bank holiday! 🙏 The Ship Team
