Seaview Restaurant at Sir Stanley Gray — Restaurant in Thanet

I went to this restaurant for the view. While seated you can't see much of the sea because of the position of the windows. I stood up at one point (WEARING A MASK) and walked a few steps to get closer to the window for a second to glance at the sea. Very quickly I was told off by the waiter who said he can't have people wandering through the restaurant. I was not wandering through the restaurant!

So I ordered and paid £17 for it. When it arrived, it was clear the "nut roast" contained no nuts, and appeared to be a cobbled together mush of whatever was left in the kitchen (rice, mushrooms, etc).
