The scenic views of the port city of Dover are best enjoyed with a scrumptious seafood meal. And when it comes to the best Dover restaurants that offer fresh seafood dishes and more, nothing beats the culinary expertise of The Dover Patrol.

Right By The Sea, Fresh From The Sea

There’s something about eating by the seaside that makes one’s dining experience more cordial and carefree.

If you’re a huge fan of seafood and you happen to be at Dover, you shouldn’t miss the experience of eating at The Dover Patrol. A perfect for a by-the-sea family dining affair, the place has a fantastic reputation for fish and prawn meals as well as other delicacies. You can choose to dine in its bright and airy interior or on the balcony for a better panoramic view of the beach.

Thanks to its proximity to the sea, the place — named as one of the best restaurants in Dover — guarantees the freshness of their ingredients. Whether it’s their classic fish and chips or battered king prawns, or their top-rated pan-seared halibut fillet or smoked mackerel nicoise — your taste buds will surely feel the big difference between their straight-from-the-sea ingredients and the grocery-bought ones.

A Menu That Everyone In The Family Will Love

While seafood is their main star, they also give spotlight to other non-fish meals. Their main course options also include pork tenderloin, pan-seared duck breast, over roasted lamb rump, beef ragu lasagne, and wild mushroom penne among others.

You can also bring your kids along and let them try The Dover Patrol’s children’s menu. This includes classic "combo" meals like battered fish and fries, beef burgers, fries and onion rings, lasagne and bread, and more. If you’re looking for awesome deserts, the restaurant has a delectable roster of ice creams and sorbets sourced from one of the finest local companies, Taywells.

As expected from one of the best restaurants in Dover, they also have meals for vegetarians — featuring fresh local produce from Kentish growers.

The Dover Patrol also has an exception list of wines intended to complement their wide array of dish offerings.
