RESTAURANTS WITH A View cont.
The Plough Inn
The Plough Inn // Stalisfield
The owners of The Plough Inn are both
fascinated by food, and have over three
decades of experience in the food and
hospitality industry between them. This, as
well as their love of the countryside and the
community that comes with it, means that
dining at the Plough Inn is a truly rural affair,
and one that feels completely idyllic. People
love to visit The Plough Inn because the food
is great, but it’s unpretentious. It’s ‘normal’
food but done in a very skilled way; familiar
and impressive.
The view that inspired us to include The
Plough Inn in this list are of the North Downs
as they roll away, making the entire area look
so beautiful.

Bon Appetit // Ramsgate
Ramsgate’s harbour is always a draw when it
comes to views. Who can resist watching the
sun set over the Channel – can there be a
better feeling than this kind of peace? And
little boats (and larger yachts) bobbing about
100
Buoy & Oyster
definitely give a picturesque kind of feel to
proceedings. Bon Appetit can offer this view
and the feelings that come with it all wrapped
up in a cosy, family run business that has
relaxed and enjoyable dining at its heart. You
can enjoy a quick snack here or a longer, larger
meal to linger over. The choice is yours.
Everything is homemade and prepared to
order, and as much as possible is locally
sourced so you’ll find that the menu can
change depending on the season.

Buoy & Oyster // Margate
Margate’s Buoy & Oyster has a lot going for it.
The food is marvellous – different yet with
enough familiarity to give anyone eating
it plenty of comfort – and the views outside
the stunning restaurant are incredible. As
the name suggests, oysters feature heavily on
the menu here, and that’s no bad thing. There
is also crab, prawns, a variety of very
fresh fish, as well as non-fish options should
that be your preference. The wine list is
impressive too!

The Bricklayers Arms // Chipstead
The view that is so enjoyed by so many at The
Bricklayers Arms is one that overlooks a lovely
lake – tranquil, peaceful and a favourite spot
of Winston Churchill’s (Chipstead is perhaps
16 miles or so from Chartwell in Westerham,
where Churchill liked to spend his time
painting), this pub and restaurant was once
three terraced cottages and is not a great place
to enjoy amazing food in a perfect atmosphere
with those lovely views.
You’re sure to get a warm welcome at
The Bricklayers Arms, whether you’re a local
or a visitor, as the pub’s owners are very
involved in the local community and want
everyone to enjoy what The Bricklayers Arms,
Chipstead and Sevenoaks itself has to offer.
