Buoy and Oyster Buoy and Oyster is an independent family run restaurant and cocktail bar set in a Grade II listed building in the heart of Margate that opened in November 2015, with menus specialising in British favourites executed with a modern twist. Ideally located a stone’s throw away from the Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and Margate Old Town and with an outside terrace overlooking the beach it is the perfect location to enjoy the stunning views and beautiful Margate sunsets in a relaxed and stylish setting. Head chef, Simon Morriss and his team create well loved seafood dishes such as moules frites, Dover sole, beer battered fish and chips, seafood linguine and of course oysters. By using local Kent fishermen all fish and shellfish are usually landed and on your plate the very same day. Although specialising in seafood, the a la carte menu has a variety of other options with the 28 day aged 10oz rib-eye served with roasted bone-marrow and 12-hour braised lamb shoulder already firm favourites. The menu also has a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options, and with sharing platters and oysters available throughout the day it is the perfect place to enjoy a bite to eat with a cocktail or two. 44 High street Margate CT91DS 01843 446631 buoyandoyster.com @buoyandoyster /BuoyandOyster /buoyandoyster With a background in high end hotels and the private hospitality sector owners Nadine and Simon are passionate about providing Margate with a new eatery showcasing the best of the local produce that Kent has to offer and are determined to be a part of the town’s regeneration.
