A popular pub and hotel in Deal, which has been standing empty since July, is under offer for £700,000.

Shepherd Neame closed the Clarendon Hotel in Beach Street On July 1 and put the once thriving nightspot up for sale soon after.

Now, on business selling website www.Dalsonsbusiness.com, it has been revealed the 12-bedroomed property is under offer.

The Clarendon, known affectionately to regulars as The Clarrie, includes a two-bedroomed manager's flat, two sea-view restaurants, adaptable bar areas/function room.

Shepherd Neame property and services director George Barnes said: “We are currently in negotiations which may lead to the sale of the Clarendon Hotel in Deal.

"We cannot comment any further at this stage.”
