Meet Natalia and Jackson. The duo behind the restaurant Barletta serving up the infamous plate of carrots! Another amazing place to eat in the ever expanding foodie scene here in Margate.

We first met Tom when we came for a site meeting at The Sun Deck to take over the running of the Tiki Bar under our brand aptly named for these times... Locked Inn!

Hantverk & Found was one of the first restaurants we tried when we visited Margate years before we decided to become part of the community. Its a firm favourite amongst both locals and visitors alike, if you have eaten there already you will know exactly what we are talking about.

We first met Johan about 10 years ago. The Swedish husband to our good friend Carey. We've seen him go though so many hair style changes since we've known him (mostly on his face :) He's a wicked producer doing some incredible work across Africa and beyond.

We met the lovely Hayden Kays out and about in Margate and he's been a huge supported of The George & Heart since we opened (and closed) our doors.

Madam Popoff first established herself in Margate's Old Town on King Street over 10 years ago and has since cemented herself as a Margate icon with one of the cutest security dogs we've ever seen - Kobe the pug.

We first met Paul Camo when he came and played for us at The Sun Deck a couple of summers ago. There are a lot of DJ's but when you work in the industry you can spot a good one from a bad one.

The PWR Hub is situated in The Centre, off Margate High Street. This creative hub is all about taking up space and being super visible.

The Tom Thumb Theatre has to be one of the cutest little places in the whole world let alone just Margate. I remember one weekend on a jolly from London it was on the rounds of places to go.

Our first Playlist guest is Robert Diament, Director of the Carl Freedman Gallery and regular at the George & Heart. A major part of the ever emerging Margate Art scene we wanted to get to know him a little better and discover his musical tastes... we liked what we discovered.

Hello and welcome to The George & Hearts first ever blog post! We've been busy working away to lovingly restore one of Margates Oldest Pubs, The Old George Hotel and have been dying to tell you all about it but I'll be honest, its been hard to find the time... until now!
