A historic Herne Bay pub dating back to the Victorian era is set to be
revitalised by a massive new refurbishment.
The "Four Fathoms" on Herne Bay High Street closed at the start of October
for a range of work, including a new "snug area", a refitted bar
counter, and revamped toilets.
The Shepherd Neame Pub will also have new faces behind the bar when it
returns at the end of November, with Paul and Sam Collier taking over.
The pair have already managed pubs in Somerset and Wales. Mrs Collier,
42, said: "We lived in Herne Bay before we moved to Somerset, and two
years ago we decided to come back for family reasons.
"We continued to manage the pub in Wales while living here, but we
really wanted something closer to home. When we saw the "Four Fathoms" was
available, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. It is a beautiful
building with huge potential, in a great location near the beach and the
station."
The pub will be offering food for the first time, so the kitchen is
being refurbished, with a separate restaurant area to be created for
diners.
