Visiting Dover? Discover Great Food and Drink in the Heart of Town

From the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover to the historic towers and tunnels of Dover Castle, Dover is one of the most rewarding destinations on the Kent coast. But no day trip is complete without somewhere welcoming to relax, eat and enjoy a proper taste of the town.

A Historic Pub in Dover Market Square

Located in the heart of Dover’s historic Market Square, The Elephant & Hind has welcomed guests since 1792. Today, the “Ellie” combines the character of a traditional Dover pub with a lively, modern atmosphere.

Our kitchen serves freshly prepared pub food using quality Kentish produce, including comforting classics, sharing dishes and traditional Sunday roasts. Behind the bar, you’ll find Kentish ales and ciders alongside wines, spirits, boutique gins, international beers and freshly brewed coffee.
