If you’re seeking great food, panoramic sea views and an unmatched service, head to Spanish City’s 1910 Restaurant. The renowned afternoon teas here are a popular choice amongst guests (they’re made from scratch by the chefs each day) whilst the two- and three-course Sunday lunches are a delight (vegetarian options are available too). The brand-new set menu includes dishes such as Jersey Royal velouté, North Sea cod and milk chocolate and blood orange cheesecake, but we’ve got our eye on the classic vanilla crème brûlée served with a shortbread biscuit.
