SquareMeal Review of Fish on the Green

It may overlook a pretty village green rather than the sea, but don’t be too disconcerted because the Fish deals in trawler-fresh piscine hauls. Housed in a coolly renovated stable block, its modish styling (whitewashed walls, cream leather seating, wooden tables) hits just the right note, & there’s an appealing aroma of grilled seafood to whet the appetite – even though the ocean views or whiff of salty ozone may be missing. The kitchen takes a simple yet creative approach; witness seared scallops (paired with chorizo, tomato chutney, basil oil & black olive tapenade), or perhaps roast fillet of hake (partnered by wilted baby spinach, roasted pimento sauce & anchovy butter) – both offering subtle hints of the Mediterranean. Traditionalists aren’t forgotten (fish & chips is a fixture), & desserts continue the theme – think sunny orange pannacotta alongside wholesome apple & blackberry crumble.

About

Enjoy a culinary journey at Fish on the Green, recognised as one of Kent's premier seafood establishments. Nestled on what is deemed 'one of the prettiest village greens in England,' this restaurant occupies a converted stable block, originally part of the neighbouring coaching inn, The Walnut Tree. Following a comprehensive renovation, the team are proud to present a simple and stylish dining room, complemented by a quaint pre-dinner drinks bar, where you’ll find all the classic cocktails, wines and spirits, along with a selection of locally sourced beers and tipples.

Beyond their signature 'trawler-fresh' fish and shellfish, the menu showcases diverse options, including non-fish dishes and a vegetarian selection. With a commitment to sourcing the finest, locally available ingredients, Fish on the Green invites you to enjoy classic and contemporary fish creations crafted with passion and precision.

Indulge your senses at Fish on the Green, and begin with pristine oysters, served with shallot and red wine vinegar, tabasco, and a zesty lemon wedge. The starters also showcase a decadent plate featuring fresh lobster, Scottish langoustine, white crab meat, and Atlantic prawns, accompanied by avocado and a delectable seafood sauce. For a twist, savour the crab and spring onion tart adorned with saffron foam. Move on to main courses like the classic fish pie with Ashmore cheese and herb crumb, or get fancy during your dining experience with the whole lobster thermidor, accompanied by hand-cut chips and buttered fine green beans. Complement your seafood delight with side dishes like new potatoes with lemon and chive butter and wilted spinach with cream and red wine sauce. Last but not least, conclude your feast with delightful desserts such as the Kentish cheese board or the almond treacle tart with candied orange and clotted cream, ensuring a memorable and flavorful culinary journey.
