Give POM(US) at Fort Road A Try
Did you know that POMUS have taken over the dining room at Fort Road Hotel? Say hi to POM(US) at Fort Road.
They’ve quietly relaunched the restaurant offering with a menu packed full of French and English bistro classics such as moules frites, ham hock and chicken terrine or a pick a fresh crunchy caesar salad.
Whether you sit outside and watch the world go by on Fort Hill or grab a table inside, order from the seasonal changing natural wine menu, linger over a delicious lunch and enjoy simple food, done well and served with a smile. It’s the perfect spot for your mum when she’s visiting, or a proper weekend treat when you’ve been powering through the Zoom calls all week.
DMM’s picks: Confit chicken and fricasse, followed by lemon meringue tart.

Hit The Harbour Arm. Don’t Miss POM
As well as bistro classics, POMUS have made a name for themselves for the ‘posh snacks’ that you crave with a chilled glass of wine, on a Saturday afternoon when sitting in the sunshine in Margate is the best place to be in the UK.
POM, their summer pop up on the Harbour Arm really delivers. Think ‘good’ olives, burrata, oysters, anchovies - basically it’s the picnic of dreams, but on a table with a view, with amazing natural sparkling wine and no one’s eating off plastic plates.
The food and wine menu changes monthly depending on what’s available and seasonal but it’ll always be deli style fish, meat, cheese and veggies on offer, so you can nibble on something delicious, soak up that sun and toast your great decision to visit / live in Margate.
DMM’s picks: Anchovies, rosemary and lemon and oysters mignonette.
Opening times: Weekends 12pm – sunset and other times during the week weather dependent!
Don’t Forget The OG: POMUS
Who knew The Centre was where the foodie tribes of Margate would flock to, but POMUS has become my dead cert fave for special meals, birthday treats and the place where small plates actually fill you up.
A menu that ranges from light and delicate to seriously stuffed that changes with the seasons and isn’t afraid to mix things up, POMUS has consistently delivered with delicious pairings plus their service is always on point - friendly, authoritative and they don’t leave you frantically trying to make eye contact to place an order (for more wine).
And it’s about to come into its own with outside tables that mean you can soak up the sun for a little longer.
DMM’s picks: Chicken karaage, maple syrup, togarashi and Torched mackerel, rillette, blackcurrants, beetroot, dill.
Opening times: Wed & Thu 5pm - 10pm, Fri & Sat 12pm - 11pm, Sun 12pm - 5pm.
