Freshly caught each day by the Family's fishing boat, the location, freshly made sauces and quality of the fish and lobster provides for a hidden gem. Combined with a walk through Britain's only desert towards the lighthouses, you will feel a million miles from anywhere. if you're lucky you may even spot our local seals and dolphins also enjoying this sunny corner of kent.
