Enjoy stunning daytime views across the Channel and the colourful
magic and romance of the sea by night as you dine on some of the
finest and freshest fish and seafood in the South East in a totally
relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Both of these delightful restaurants have beachfront locations and
are a wonderful venue to visit at any time of the year. They are open
for morning coffee, lunch and dinner or just a drink in the evening
with family and friends. Both have areas for al fresco dining so that
guests can relax and listen to the waves rolling onto the beach and
live music is provided on Saturday nights at both sites and also
Sunday lunch in Dover.
The head chefs source most of their fresh fish from Griggs of Hythe
and seasonal catches are reflected on the Specials boards. Locally
grown fruit and vegetables are also used. The menu also has
non-fish and vegetarian options plus a children’s menu.
The standard restaurant menu features many fish and seafood
favourites – whitebait, bouillabaisse and potted shrimps to name
but a few of the starters.
Main courses include traditional beer battered fish and chips;
poached, locally smoked haddock served with wholegrain mustard
mashed potatoes, green vegetables, hollandaise sauce and a
poached egg; moules marinières or the delicious seafood platter for
two or more.
When it comes to desserts there are some difficult choices to be
made – dark chocolate and salted caramel tart with white chocolate
mousse and caramelised white chocolate or bread and butter
pudding for example. If you prefer something lighter the excellent
range of sorbets and ice creams from Simply Ice Cream are the
answer; Hythe Bay stocks an impressive range of flavours and if you
feel inclined to share, chose the ‘magnificent seven’ and share with
a friend!
There is a well thought out and reasonably priced wine list with
wines from France, Italy, South Africa and South America as well as
a selection of Champagnes and sparkling wines for that special
occasion.
Open 7 days a week from 10am to 10pm.
Full restaurant service from 12 noon to 10pm.
