Sublime Italian food, washed down with delicious orange wine. You do need to book well in advance but well worth the planning ahead.

Why not cycle to Westgate (or a bit further to their other location in Broadstairs) and grab a coffee? And a rosemary focaccia, serrano ham and rocket pesto sandwich? And a pistachio millionaire slice? And a plum and almond tart? And a loaf of sour dough to take away? (Mainly because you will struggle to cycle home if you eat all that but this place turns me into a real glutton.)

Sightseeing
There are two tidal pools in Margate - this one on the Main Sands by Old Town is technically a boating pond so not so much for swimming, but people do splash around in the summer. There are rumours of broken glass on the bottom.

Maybe my favourite place to swim in the UK, certainly one of the most instagrammable, this is one of Margate's two tidal pools.
