We already utilise a lot of Kent’s best produce, and we will be adding much more to our new menu's in 2012.  Expect to see a menu packed with the best local ingredients we can find, dishes using our home grown herbs, more great meats and old school desserts - whilst staying true to our ‘home cooking’ no fuss, just great food style!” Alex Burden, Proprietor

He brings us the catch of the day from the estuary, often delivered to the waters edge at the front of the Inn. You can’t get fresher than that! Bluey’s fish shop is very much a family business, with his daughter running the fishmongers, and his son out on the boat with him.
