Third Thursday of each month:
A tasting after a tasting.
Thursday, October 16th 2025
As a restaurant we are always having tastings with our suppliers, pretty much every month as we get to try the very best of their wines. Every single time there are loads of samples left of incredible wines and usually they get drunk by us that evening. So once a month, on the third Thursday, we are opening up our tastings to you with guidance from the expert at hand. This month’s samples come from the incredible palette of Ben Llewelyn from Carte Blanche wines who will be here to showcases a selection of tasters from France and Spain with maybe a couple of surprises thrown in. Help us choose what goes on our wine list! Places are limited due to the unique nature of these tastings.
Come and enjoy 3 courses and 3 samples for £32.

Alt-Nouveau: A look at vibrant English style reds - Beaujolais style.
Wednesday, Thursday 20th 2025
Margate will be celebrating Beaujolais Nouveau all over town, and quite rightly too. However here at Dory’s we do things differently. Before or after tasting the Beaujolais’ come and taste some juicy English reds that can stand up to any of the nouveau style wines France can offer. We will be serving them by the glass with a long forgotten classic of ours - mackerel baps!
Book here as normal, or just pop in and grab a glass and a bap!!!!
