About the restaurant

The Captain Digby, a family friendly restaurant and bar which caters for all ages & occasions, with sea views overlooking Kingsgate Bay. We serve generously portioned fresh, home cooked food from our bar, restaurant & children's menu. Food is served from 12 noon each day, all day until late check our operating hours before arrival.
Choose from our family dining area, close to our indoor play area or our cliff top restaurant with sea views.
Alfresco dining is available with 40 benches overlooking the bay but these are non-reservable and work on a first come first served basis. Please note we can not guarantee window tables. We do not allow dogs inside our venue but they are welcome in our outside dining areas. Being so close to the shoreline we tend to have issues regarding internet connections and advise all customers also bring cash as an alternative payment.

We only booked about 40 minutes prior to our dining time, and was very pleasantly surprised that they had availability at short notice. The restaurant was very busy, so though we were seated immediately, it did take a little time to order and receive the food - however, it was an incredible Sunday Roast, and well worth the wait! The meats were very tender and moist, the nut roast was very good and there was a great variety of vegetables - all servings were a very good size and served with plenty of gravy.

Had a very enjoyable birthday meal at the Charles Dickens. It has been renovated since I was last there, and it has been done very well. The food has improved immensely, too. We all had very good meals. Especially the two of us who had the pork loin . Absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and the young waitresses were helpful, polite, and professional. Although dark, we still had a view of the bay and the pier , which is always lovely upstairs in this restaurant.
