Located on Duke Street in Margate’s Old Town, The Wellington will feature a pub area at the front serving drinks and bar snacks, and a dining room at the rear offering seasonal British pub food. Topham, Stock’s partner in life and business, was general manager at Ribbe’s previous Margate restaurant Barletta, and most recently worked at Updown Farmhouse. Over the past year, the pair have run Nashville fried chicken pop-up Chix Stock at Margate venue Cinque Ports. This project is understood to be going dormant while the pair launch The Wellington. Stock trained in London and held senior roles at leading restaurants and gastropubs, including St John and The Marksman.
