There are a surprising amount of restaurants in the seaside town of Broadstairs, but when doing our…read morerecce of the town on arrival, this one stood out as the place we wanted to eat. We popped in and booked our table immediately. I can imagine that this town is rammed in the summer, but in early March it's pretty quiet. I'm still glad we booked though as the restaurant was fairly busy. The menu changes every day and focuses on British dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Being right next to the shore, this meant fish all the way for me. We started with some homemade bread and both me and the other half went for scallops for starter - served with crisp pancetta and a chickpea puree. The dish was very tasty though a touch on the small side. For main course, I went for wild sea bass served with brown shrimp, spinach and pickled veg. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, the whole dish a great combination of flavours. The boyf went for duck which was also delicious. For dessert we ordered the almond and pear tart and a chocolate pudding with choc chip ice cream. Both were divine but I preferred the tart. The wine list was interesting and not excessive in price. We ordered a bottle of Tempranillo, and finished with a couple of glasses of port. The manager popped over to see if we were happy with our meals. Chatting with him, we found out that the restaurant had been open less than three weeks. Give or take a couple of minor service errors, the place was running extremely well for somewhere open so short a time. He had previously lived in Brighton and admitted that he had got some of his ideas for the restaurant from there - perhaps that's why it had such an affinity with us! As well as baking their own bread, they also butcher their own meat and smoke their own fish on the premises. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served here. This was a real find for us, and for a business in their infancy, they are producing fine food and service. I wish them the best of luck for the future and would definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

We kicked things off with some home-made bread and I had a bottle of Green Daemon Helles. One of the breads was chocolate which came as an unexpectedly tasty surprise! For main the lady had sea bass which she said was fantastic, and I had the root vegetable Pan Haggerty - something completely new to me and rather delicious. The chips were SERIOUS chips with masses of crunch and plenty of heft. It is quite expensive in the grand scheme of things, with our lunch bill for 2 coming to over £50 including service - this is not London, lest we forget. Definitely worth checking out if/when in Broadstairs, with a great selection of food and booze on the menu.

I was raised partly in Italy and this was some of the best Italian food I've had in 15 years of visiting the U.K. since I graduated Uni there.

I wish I could give them more stars. I will share some of the photos from the beautiful evening I spent on the patio. I just wish I had a lover with me to share the experience with.

Service was friendly and leisurely, which we welcomed. Only one staff was taking and distributing orders and he advised of the delay in service. The food was delicious and had we more time in town, would likely have dined in again.

This place is fantastic, easy walk from Dover Castle and just so happens to be Dovers oldest pub. The menu for lunch is small, feels like it's because they want to do things right. The fish and chips- highly recommend. However unless you are starving I recommend you split it with a friend. When we arrived we were immediately greeted, service was excellent. For families like us, they do have high chairs. They will take your order if you sit inside. There's also an outdoor garden however you need to come to the counter to order. Same with drinks. Each room has a lot of history. Take one look around and there's a lot going on. Apparently this location used to be a part of monastery and has evolved over the years now to a great pub. Each dish we enjoyed, the vegetarian linguine was fresh, chips were delicious and the fish was wonderful. If you're cruising in and need a place for a good meal not too far from the port or to Dover Castle- I recommend you swing on in. Highly casual so you can come as is or for special occasion.
