Normal opening hours are 12pm–11pm every day. Our licence allows us to open later (to 12am Monday–Friday and to 1am Saturday and Sunday); we may keep the pub open after 11 if it's busy.
The kitchen is open 12pm–3pm and 6pm–9pm Monday–Saturday, and 12pm–9pm on Sunday. The menu is available online, and changes every day. We do not normally take bookings for tables, but if you are planning on turning up with a large party (more than around 20 people) the chef might appreciate some advance notice; call him on 020 8986 8605.
At the moment our licence does not allow us to play music in the pub. We applied to vary the licence to permit this, but were not successful.
This is an adult-friendly pub. Under 16s are permitted until 8pm, but must behave quietly, be supervised by their parents at all times, and must not wander around on their own even if their parents can still see them. Please bear in mind the effect that your children may have on the other customers around you, especially their noise. As with any disruptive behaviour, you may be asked to leave if you are disturbing other customers.
We allow pets in the pub as long as they are well-behaved and supervised by their owners at all times. Please don't let them wander off on their own!
Wireless internet access is available in the pub. You don't need a password.
There's a Pembury Tavern Regulars group on Facebook.
The Pembury is a work in progress; we'll be improving the interior and exterior gradually as we earn enough money to be able to do so! Our plans for this year include curtains, glass in the front doors, and new paint on the outside.
As trade grows we plan to increase the range of real ales on offer; we may also add a second keg beer - an Austrian Pils, perhaps?
We hold three beer festivals each year, in March, July and November. We usually offer a selection of 45 real ales and 5 ciders at each festival.
All suggestions for the pub are gratefully received!
Mimes will be thrown in the scorpion pit. Learn the words!
