HYTHE BAY SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS

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 .
All three of these delightful restaurants have beachfront locations , with the new restaurant at Deal overlooking the pier . They are wonderful venues to visit at any time of the year with areas for al fresco dining so that guests can relax and listen to the waves rolling onto the beach . Live music is provided on Saturday nights at the Dover and Hythe sites .
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 used and 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 .
OPENING TIMES : Open 7 days a week . Dover and Hythe from 10am to 10pm and Deal from 12 noon to 10pm . Full restaurant service from 12 noon to 10pm
