Angela’s Rooms: Sustainable, Stylish Lodgings on the Sea

Angela’s is an unassuming seafood restaurant overlooking the harbor in Margate, on the tip of East Kent; around the corner is Dory’s, an informal seafood bar. “Our philosophy for both is an uncomplicated one,” says co-owner Lee Coad: impeccable sourcing, minimal waste, and pared-back cooking. Lee has carried this philosophy through to a trio of new rooms, which now occupy the top floors of this narrow Georgian terrace. “When designing the rooms, we put people and the planet first."

The rooms—which start from £380 for a two-night stay—are Lee’s first interiors project.

The seaside suites incorporate mycelium grown lamps, re-dyed waste wool rugs, cork floors, recycled and bio-plastic furniture, and bone china cups made using waste fish bones from the restaurant.

The coffee cups are made by Carly Breame, who makes bone china using a combination of Angela’s fish bone waste, oyster shells, scallop shells and mussel shells.

"We reused what we had so as not to create more landfill," including in the bathrooms.
