Land + Sea

Stepping into Land + Sea is like finding a quiet cove where thoughtful flavours come to shore in a relaxed yet gently spirited atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of Tankerton, this restaurant carries the easy rhythm of a place where locals gather not out of habit, but out of genuine delight in the food and the warm welcome that greets you from the moment you arrive.

The space itself breathes a calm creativity; there's a casual elegance in the way the decor blends contemporary touches with maritime hints, inviting you to settle in slowly. Whether you’re watching the chefs craft each dish with palpable care in the open kitchen, or soaking in the mellow background music that threads through the room, every moment feels thoughtfully orchestrated without ever feeling staged.

Land + Sea is a celebration of fresh, vibrant ingredients where the menu plays like a conversation—dynamic and approachable, drawing from both land and ocean with an inspired balance. You might find the briny brightness of scallops or mussels complemented by the rich earthiness of Kentish lamb, or a surprising pairing that lingers for its warmth and subtle complexity rather than flashiness. The experience is never rushed; instead, it encourages sharing and savoring, a sense of discovering new favourite bites with each visit. The kitchen’s openness invites a little theatricality too, giving glimpses of dishes evolving from plate to palate, which adds a subtle layer of connection to the meal.

What truly stands out is the quietly attentive service that manages to be both professional and warmly personal. Guests often mention feeling genuinely welcomed here, including their four-legged companions, and it’s clear that the team cares as much about crafting a comfortable experience as they do about the food itself. From small gestures to well-timed suggestions, the hospitality layers naturally onto a dining experience that leaves you feeling seen and satisfied.

In a seaside town known for its charm, Land + Sea offers a kind of culinary anchorage—an inviting spot where every visit feels like a small, well-earned celebration of place, palate, and the simple pleasure of good company.
