Restaurants in Hythe

The best new restaurant I've discovered all year. Set in one of the south-east's prettiest villages just north of Hythe on the Kent coast, the stylish refurbed restaurant is a real delight. The former general store devotes a whole wall to the original shelving and the bare wood floor bards have been scrubbed within a inch of their lives.We'd have like to sat at the small bar to tried one of their own recipes cocktails, but all 4 seats were taken. So we made do with our window seat and ordered a plate of the home made soft prezzels witha rarebit spread The place is small and was packed, so booking is advisable.The setting isn't let down by the food. Chef/owner the Chicago born Jeff Kipp knows his stuff,having earned his stripes at places like, Gordon Ramsay's SW3, Duck

Surprised to see that a customer was allowed to have his dog in the bar last night, when people were eating nearby, as well as in the restaurant. Very off-putting for non-dog lovers
