Seafood · Margate
Perched above Margate's sand with a proper view of the water, this is the rare seafood spot where a family can settle in without anyone feeling rushed. Staff bring water the moment you sit, top up drinks without being asked, and will happily shuffle you to a better table — small things that matter when you're wrangling children. Food comes out fast, which spares you the meltdown wait. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access for a pram, plus terrace and window tables where children can watch the sea. The battered oysters get the loudest praise, along with hand-cut chips, the fish and seafood pie for two, and the Louisiana seafood boil (huge, easily shared). It runs pricier than most fish and chips nearby, and the terrace is weather-dependent — book if the sun's out.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
