We returned for breakfast the next morning & our experience was extremely pleasant having had a delicious, unhurried breakfast from a varied breakfast menu. As my breakfast date said, "R's kitchen really gets it" - with using & supporting local suppliers for their fresh ingredients of which their dinner menus are based upon; having the philosophy of cooking by season; individually wrapped chocolates on all the tables, plenty of fair trade filter coffee refills, friendly & warm service & modest prices. The waitress mentioned that R's Kitchen is merely a few months old & we hope it does extremely well succeeding with locals as well as tourists alike. In addition to breakfast, they have lunch & dinner menus & offer homemade cakes & drinks during the day. We were sorry we didn't find it sooner to experience their dinner menu & will be back one day despite the 2+ hour drive from London!

Our friend found this restaurant online in the Michelin Guide - it is a "Michelin plate" and has a "good standard" rating. We were seated in a little section/room with a door that opens to outside - nice and private. It was my goal to have a proper fish and chips meal while in the UK, so, of course, that's what I ordered. The lunch menu gives options for just a starter, or one, two, or three courses. I got two courses - battered haddock with house tartar, peas, and fries as my main, and a cheese plate for dessert. The plate was nicely presented and the fish was perfect - golden, crispy fried on the outside, and moist and flaky inside, and the homemade tartar sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy. They bring bread and olives for you while you wait for your meal, so the one piece of fish and fries was really filling. The cheese plate had two matured French cheeses (one was blue) and some fruit and nuts. They took the cheese out of the fridge for me when I ordered so that it would be at a nice temperature for dessert - great idea. I was already full at this point but the cheese was delicious, great small portion, and a perfect way to end my meal. Service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, and timely. Prices for the lunch specials were very reasonable - mine was 17 pounds for the two courses, and portions are fair, depending on what you order.

They use the genuine cheeses so you don't get that glutinous mass that some take aways give you. I had the Venezia which is a vegetarian option and only £7.50. My companion had the same and couldn't finish, so I had plenty for a picnic lunch the next day. Very Yummy!!! The interior is simple and rather basic, but made up for by the friendly staff, good food and atmosphere. It's near enough to the Quay for an evening walk or to join the festivities at the waterfront in summer. Nice clean toilets!
