From the Dover Express, 27 October, 2016.
Great ales at The Dog House.
Situated in the heart of the charming traditional barns, oast houses and
buildings that make up Evegate Business & Retail Park in Smeeth near
Ashford, The Dog House micro-pub and brewery is a great place to
socialise over a glass or two with friends.
Here you can enjoy up to four real ales direct from the cask, with
single malt whiskies, other spirits and wines by the glass or bottle and
not to mention teas, coffees and soft drinks too.
The Dog House offers a warm environment comprising an eclectic mixture
of furniture and furnishings including a real record player and vintage
vinyl! Bringing your own vinyl is very welcome.
It offers a simple menu including delicious home-made soups and mains.
Children and pets are welcome and there’s even free biscuits for hungry
dogs.
We spoke to new owner Jim Miller:
NEW LANDLORD: Jim Miller, who took over The Dog House eight weeks ago,
with Sam Quinn.
Q:
You have owned The Dog House now for eight weeks, what made you want to
take over?
A:
The Dog House has a really good reputation and a great atmosphere and I thought there was still
room for improvement. The retail park itself has a wonderful variety of
business, many bringing something unique to the park which is growing
from strength to strength.
Q:
What range of beers do you serve?
A:
In the main we concentrate on showcasing the wonderful beers available
in Kent. There are so many marvellous micro-breweries in the county,
over 40 now and this is a growing industry. We want to concentrate on
local suppliers offering quality produce.
Q:
You offer lunch and evening food, tell us more about this?
A:
All our food is home-made on the premises using meats from the local
butchers and bread from the local bakers. Our lunches are really popular
to both businesses and visitors to the park.
The Dog House is open for lunches 11-3 Mon to Sat and evenings 5-11
Thu to Sat.
