St Margaret’s Bay, our friendly team really look forward to welcoming you.
Eat with us
Welcome to food heaven
Our kitchen provides dishes made fresh to order from local seasonal produce, we try where possible to achieve a low carbon footprint by working closely with our local areas’ food producers, fishermen and wild food foragers.
Drink with us
Cheers my dears!
We have fourteen taps offering the very best in local and World beers, an extensive wine list with an emphasis on smaller family vineyards - featuring a selection of organic, sulphate free wines - plus spirits and an extensive cocktail menu made with homemade syrups, purees and herbs from our garden.
Stay with us
