The opening of Harveys in June 2009 was the realization of a dream for the husband-and-wife team of Richard and Sherry Martin, whose "Kent Inns of Distinction" group acquired and re-developed the previously derelict site. Overlooking England's only Royal harbor, the venue commands fantastic views of the marina and across the English Channel. The former pub has re-invented itself as a modern, light and airy restaurant arranged over two individually styled floors. Harveys has recently been awarded the prestigious AA Rosette for its food and wine.

Poached duck egg, dry cured bacon, hollandaise sauce, and rope grown mussels, garlic, and dry white wine and cream reduction can present unique flavours to the palate. Aged rook's herd fillet of beef, grill garnish béarnaise sauce, and hand cut chips, and roast darne of Ramsgate cod are some of the signature dishes that feature on the eclectic menu. Before you polish off your plate ask for pistachio soufflé or dark chocolate fondant pudding.
