About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Child-friendly
  • Good for groups
The Captain Digby, a family friendly restaurant and bar which caters for all ages & occasions, with sea views overlooking Kingsgate Bay. We serve generously portioned fresh, home cooked food from our bar, restaurant & children's menu. Food is served from 12 noon each day, all day until late check our operating hours before arrival.
Choose from our family dining area, close to our indoor play area or our cliff top restaurant with sea views.
Alfresco dining is available with 40 benches overlooking the bay but these are non-reservable and work on a first come first served basis. Please note we can not guarantee window tables. We do not allow dogs inside our venue but they are welcome in our outside dining areas. Being so close to the shoreline we tend to have issues regarding internet connections and advise all customers also bring cash as an alternative payment.

    First visit to Captain Digby for several years. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Had liver and bacon with mash and veg and there was plenty of it! Absolutely delicious! Lovely venue, good service and atmosphere. Recommend!

    A bit disappointing to be honest turned up and it was a set menu there was no mention of this when booking. I had a roast and all the vegetables were a bit under done the parsnips were hard the beef was over cooked and the cauliflower cheese was just a watery cheese sauce not real cheese and no colour to it.
