Come on in
Named after a small Kentish sailing vessel, the pub makes waves with a host of delicious drinks and a lively line-up of entertainment.
It’s a place packed with character, with a smart interior wearing its nautical history with pride, and a traditional log burner providing a warm welcome in winter.
In summer, it’s all hands on deck, thanks to a large beer garden and family-friendly decking area, perfect for soaking up the sun.
You’ll find us on Duke Street in Deal town centre.
We regret that unfortunately we do not have wheelchair access.

The boat behind the name
A ‘hoy’ was a small boat that plied its trade taking people and supplies over short distances - often to and from larger vessels moored offshore. A water taxi, effectively.
Diarist Samuel Pepys records in 1775 that a hoy was a small sloop-rigged sailing ship, but other versions are known to have existed.
Hiring one was easy enough - you just called out "a hoy there!”
