Booking

Sargasso is a small wine bar with food, consisting of counter seating and high window tables, nestled against the sea wall of Margate’s harbour arm.

Reservations

LAST ORDERS
Lunch: 3:45pm
Dinner: 8:45pm (Mon–Thu & Sun) | 9:45pm (Fri–Sat)

We take bookings for up to 4 guests. For larger groups, please email enquiries@sargasso.bar — we’ll do our best to accommodate. All bookings are for indoor tables. Outside tables are bookable via email only within 48 hours of the reservation time, as the space is not covered.

We ask for credit card details to secure all reservations. This helps protect us against no-shows and cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice. We’ll always do our best to rebook your table, but if we’re unable to, a cancellation fee may apply.

All seating is on stools. Bookings for two are seated at the bar by default — you can request alternatives, but we can’t always guarantee changes. Because of the size of the space, only small / well behaved dogs are allowed and we ask they are kept underneath your seats or table and not on your lap.

Due to space limitations, baby slings are recommended. If bringing a pram, please include a note with your booking — you may be asked to fold it on arrival depending on available space. Likewise, if you plan to bring a dog, please let us know in advance when making your reservation.

Please check our FAQ for info on dietary needs, cancellations, prams, children, and dogs.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Please note, our restaurant is a unique building on Margate’s stone pier, often weathered by the ebb and flow of the North Sea. It is a wonderful space that can at times be challenging to keep open when impacted by prevailing weather conditions. For this reason, please be aware when you book with us we may occasionally have to cancel at short notice.

We have procured a dedicated prestige portaloo for Sargasso customer use. Unfortunately these toilets do not have disabled access. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

GROUPS & PRIVATE DINING

For larger private bookings we can offer seating for up to 24 guests for lunch or dinner, as well as standing receptions for up to 35 guests.

Please note that private hire is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed during high season or on weekends.
