SARGASSO OPENS IN MARGATE

Brawn's sister restaurant SARGASSO has now launched in Margate!

Chef Ed Wilson and his wife Josie have launched a "place by the sea to enjoy coastal cooking, real wine, music and guest broadcasting.” The restaurant overlooks the Margate harbour and makes use of the bounty of British seafood on offer.

Food will largely be locally sourced ingredients but take inspiration from Europe’s coastal cooking. With a menu focused on seafood and vegetables, both preserved and fresh, the dishes will reflect the cultural heritage from which they are drawn and be driven by the seasons. There will be a short (40-50) bottle list of real wines that regularly change to reflect the time of year, as well as a selection of vermut and draught beer (for quenching that beach thirst).

Example dishes:

Courgette fritti, salmoriglio

Pane carasau, ‘nduja & marjoram

Squid, friggitelli peppers, chickpeas, mojo verde

Smoked eel, gooseberries, bacon, watercress

Crab & girolle spaghetti

Alentejo pork & clams

Dark chocolate, olive oil & sea salt
