THE PLAICE TO BE: SANKEY’S OLD FISHMARKET RESTAURANT

Without mincing my words, Kent boasts the top seafood restaurants and bars that serve some of the freshest and most delicious seafood you could ever dream of. These restaurants offer delightful menus such as crab, cod and lobster, in ways that suit your distinguished delectable taste buds. Of course, there are plenty to choose from, with beautiful scenic views of the coastline to admire while you wine and dine. But now, dear reader allow me to introduce to you one of Kent's choicest fish and seafood restaurants, Sankey's Old Fishmarket restaurant in Tunbridge Wells.

Sankey’s is truly a top-notch seafood restaurant, situated within the Old Fishmarket building in the centre of the Pantiles. The restaurant provides its clientele with fresh and tasty delicacies. And that’s why it is growing more and more popular as the tide ebbs and flows amongst the seafood venues in Kent.

Operated by two iconic fishmongers, Mathew Sankey and Graeme Anderson (aka Graeme the Fish), the restaurant is notably renowned for its insistence of high quality and fresh ingredients. Rest assured; you will be served a meal that Poseidon himself would relish. These are master fishmongers who never hide their intense passion for fish. And they are now making a name for themselves in the seafood industry.

As well as other tasty dishes, Sankey's specialize in oysters and lobsters, no matter the season of the year. The oysters come in different categories and are often sourced from Richard Haward, a reliable 9th generation supplier in Colchester. Also, the lobsters, devoid of foreign bacteria, are delivered from Cadgwith Cove in Cornwall. Truly the best of British.

Now, we can’t leave out the ambience at Sankey's seafood restaurant, which is uniquely fresh and appealing. As a visitor, you are treated to the ultimate meal in a setting with relaxing decor, atmosphere and furnishings. If you enjoy al fresco (outdoor) dining, the restaurant also makes available a tranquil outdoor seating area for you to enjoy the scenery with your loved ones.

Finally, Sankey's features a bustling bar, an ideal venue to share a drink with family and friends. The drinks menu has an excellent collection of wines to choose from, according to your preference. The bar is a hive for all champagne connoisseurs. It is the talk of the town, as is the seafood restaurant. So, in case you are not a huge seafood lover, the bar allows you to still have a great time with your friends with snacks to wash down your refreshments.

Sankey’s really is a wonderful place to visit. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the delicious seafood, sparkling wines and the fun-loving moments that await you!
