The Sir Stanley Gray has been a favorite haunt of mine ever since they added their stunning balcony, boasting panoramic views of Pegwell Bay. While I usually stick to their excellent bar menu for a light lunch, a recent visit from friends staying at the Pegwell Bay Hotel gave me the perfect excuse to try the restaurant. After their long journey, dining right on their doorstep was incredibly convenient.
To reach the Seaview Restaurant, you simply head through the main bar area.
While the menu sticks to conventional classics, the culinary execution is impressive. Enjoying our meal out on the balcony on a beautiful evening made the experience even better. The Pie of the Day (Steak Pie) with skinny chips, and the sea bass with new potatoes were both outstanding – beautifully prepared with top-tier ingredients. Finding this caliber of comfort food within a pub chain restaurant was a delightful surprise. The attentive service capped off a wonderful night.
