This week, we're serving up not one, but two delicious reasons to skip the cooking! 🥂🐟

It's been fantastic seeing so many people enjoying Steak Night so far. A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us and shared their kind comments. If you haven't tried it yet, Steak Night takes place every Wednesday, with two rump steaks, all the trimmings and a bottle of wine for £45.

This week also marks the launch of The Friday Catch. Enjoy beer-battered catch of the day, chunky chips, homemade tartar sauce and your choice of peas, mushy peas or salad.

To make a booking, head to www.the-swan.pub or call 01843 831 401 🍴🌊

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for a special Quiz Night in support of Pilgrims' Hospice and a huge bravo to Neon Rush. It was a brilliant night for a brilliant cause 👏👏

“Westgate… you lot are competitive 👀”

14 teams. One final round decider. And somehow Demolition Squad stole the win right at the end 😅

Huge thanks to everyone who packed out The Swan at Westgate for our Pilgrims Hospices charity quiz night. Together we raised an incredible £531, taking the Thanet Rocks fundraising total to £1922 this year and £13,665 over the last 18 months ❤️

Who’s joining us at the next one?

There's never an empty dancefloor when these chaps take to the stage. The brilliant 4WD return to The Swan in a couple of weeks and you can still grab a table! 🕺🏻🎶

Join us on Saturday 13th June in the West Bay Suite for night of live music and lively atmosphere. With the event now only a couple of weeks away, we’d recommend booking sooner rather than later.

Doors open from 6:30pm and entry is completely free. Get your friends together and make a night of it.

Added bonus… the room is fully air conditioned, which may come in handy with this heatwave!

To book visit www.the-swan.pub/livemusic or call 01843 831 401 🍺🎶

NOTICE: We have one spare table left for this evening’s Quiz Night with the fantastic Neon Rush, all in aid of Pilgrim’s Hospice 🎶

Doors open from 6:30pm. To book, call 01843 831 401🍺

Your Friday deserves so much more than a sandwich at your desk. It deserves a hearty catch of the day, a refreshing tipple, and an offer to boot! 🍻🐟

Golden crispy batter. Cold drinks. Seaside setting. We call that The Friday Catch!

Starting this time next week from Friday 5th June, you can enjoy delicious beer battered catch of the day served with chips, homemade tartar sauce, and your choice of peas, mushy peas, or salad, all for £14.

Available every Friday from 12pm-3pm and 5pm-9pm. The only difficult decision? Mushy peas or salad...

Westgate-on-Sea… this is your warning to start warming up those singing voices 🎤

There’s just something different about a Neon Rush Sunday afternoon crowd ☀️

The drinks start flowing, somebody requests an 80s anthem, one table starts singing… then suddenly the entire venue joins in 😂

On Sunday 7th June we’re taking over The Swan Garden Terrace for an afternoon full of huge choruses, dancefloor classics and songs you absolutely know every word to.

This reel is a little taste of what’s coming.

What song instantly turns YOU into the loudest singer in the venue? 👀
