Ale lovers will have the choice of 24 different beverages at a new craft beer shop planned for Dartford.

Nick Byram of Swanscombe's Caveman Brewery has applied for premises licence for a new venue, Growler Stop, planned at Westgate House in Spital Street, Dartford.

Mr Byram said the venue, named after a beer container for transporting, would stand on the site of a former petrol station and would offer a different experience to the average pub.

"It's a craft beer shop or tap house," he said, "We'll have 24 taps dispensing beer.

"You can come in for a drink, but the other part is we can offer a take away service.

"We came up with the idea during lockdown, when we were delivering from the brewery and people were coming to collect."

The premises licence is for 10am to 11pm Monday to Thursday, 10am to midnight Friday to Sunday, and 10am to 12.30am on bank holidays, St Patrick's Day and July 4.

Any representations from interested parties should be made in writing to: the licensing section, Dartford Borough Council , Civic Centre, home

gardens, Dartford, Kent,DA1 1DR, no later than Tuesday August 10.

The application and public register can be viewed in full at the licensing section in Dartford Borough Council's Civic Centre from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
