High Dive Margate
Price: Expensive•Contemporary Mexican•4.8(48)A luxurious spot designed and built by Vacuum Studio featuring a highly pigmented colour palette inspired by our global travels. Lighting is low, volume can get high and the intimate booth seating is a perfect facilitator for conversation.
Our menu is comprised of snacks, appetisers, larger plates and deserts made entirely in-house* and their flavour profiles are amplified with chillis, herbs and citrus being heavily inspired by Los Angeles' multiculturalism.
Our restaurant is compact and cosy with no extra space to accommodate prams and large dogs - if you do need to bring your dog to dinner please ensure they are comfortable in a busy restaurant atmosphere and are happy sitting on your lap or fit comfortably under your table. We welcome children in the restaurant however we do not have highchairs or a children’s menu. We have tailored the room to provide a fun, grown-up and safe space for all our guests and team.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.Mullins Brasserie

- TThemisVIPLondon •62 reviews4.0Dined on 30 Apr 2025A sunny hot spring day, so four of us drove to Margate for the day. Although Margate has seen better days, this establishment was excellent. Three of us had the beef burgers and the third the Korean fried chicken burger. All of them were excellent. A very good selection of local beers. The service was friendly and efficient.More infoThe George & HeartPrice: Moderate• British• Margate•4.6
