Bow's Kitchen @ Wig And Pen — Venue in Margate

Bow's Kitchen @ Wig and Pen is a casual food spot on Margate’s seafront, just off the main walkway near St George’s Church. It serves sandwiches and coffee all day with fresh ingredients from local suppliers. Locals stop in for lunch or a quick break while walking the pier. The venue is part of everyday life by the shops and galleries along the coast.

Bow’s Kitchen @ Wig and Pen has been a regular part of Margate’s seaside community since the mid-20th century, operating from a building originally used as the backroom to a traditional pub. The space keeps its original brickwork and timber-framed windows, with exposed ceiling beams typical of Kentish coastal architecture in the 1940s. Inside, it remains practical: bare wooden tables sit beside stainless steel counters where food is prepared daily without fuss. There are no decorations, just a clear path from kitchen to customer service. The venue has hosted small pop-ups and events over time, including local art displays during summer months.

Bow’s Kitchen @ Wig and Pen gives straightforward meals built on everyday ingredients from nearby farms.
