For anyone heading to the Dungeness boat ramp, the Channel Inn Shop has quickly become the go-to destination for fishing and boating supplies, and for good reason.
Located just metres from the boat ramp, the shop caters directly to the needs of fishers, boaties, and holidaymakers preparing for a day on the water. It is well stocked with essentials such as life jackets, flares, winch handles, ropes, bait, crab pots and a solid selection of tackle. This makes it a highly convenient one-stop shop with a broad range of supplies.
Fuel and ice are ready to go 24/7, and with the shop opening at 6:00am, you can grab what you need for an early start. And it is not just about the fishing gear, as plenty of locals and visitors stop in simply for the great coffee and fresh food. One recent customer shared her experience:
“We decided on a spontaneous fishing trip over the weekend with nothing prepared — not even a coffee! We stopped into the Channel Inn Shop, and I was blown away. We picked up bacon and egg toasties, antipasto, snacks, and great coffee (with our special milk — a rare find). It saved our trip.”
In addition to grab-and-go options, the store offers BBQ meats, frozen seafood, house-made pizzas, deli items and a well-stocked walk-in bottleshop fridge. This is particularly handy for those staying in local accommodation, with everything you need for a comfortable stay available in one place.
The Channel Inn Shop combines practicality with convenience, offering quality marine supplies, great food and drinks, and all the travel essentials you could need. Whether you are topping up on tackle, refuelling, or grabbing a coffee before hitting the water, this is the only stop you need to make.
For anyone launching from Dungeness or staying nearby, the message is clear: visit the Channel Inn Shop and you will find it all!
