Just a shack on the beach, but open year round in all weather, great for breakfast, beachside fish'n chips, coffee, tea, and apparently the best fresh doughnuts on the Kent coast. And of course, fresh oysters. Get there early, mid morning or after 2pm, and you'll beat the rush, the queues get long around lunch time!
