The Dock

You're walking along the harbour front, past the Imperial Hotel, and The Dock pulls you in with the kind of casual confidence that comes from knowing what it does well. Inside, it's got that relaxed seafront energy—wooden tables, natural light, the sort of place that feels lived-in rather than designed. The menu reads like someone actually cooks here: seasonal British dishes that respect their ingredients without getting pretentious about it. Service strikes that perfect balance between attentive and laid-back. It's become a proper local favourite, the kind of spot where regulars nestle into corner tables and families don't feel out of place on a Friday night.
