Seafood & Oysters

Owner/chef Simon Morriss & head chef Craig Edgell work closely with our local suppliers & kitchen to create our seafood focused menus & we will always have meat and vegetarian options also.

We work closely with our Broadstairs based fishmonger to ensure our menu echoes the seasons & has been responsibly sourced. The majority of our menu will come straight from one of our fishmonger's 18 day boats which fish the waters off of Margate, Whitstable, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Broadstairs.

Family Friendly

We believe that dining out should be an experience that the whole family can enjoy. We offer a wide range of dishes that cater to everyone's tastes, from classic fish and chips to our signature seafood platter. Our restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for intimate dinners or family gatherings. We take pride in our friendly service and attention to detail, making sure that every guest leaves with a smile on their face and have a "Little Sailors" menu for those under 12 years old

We recommend joining for an earlier lunch 12-1pm or earlier dinner 5-6pm if dining with little ones or enjoy our all day dining atmosphere with an afternoon meal after school!
