About
On 1st March 2024, I, Bram, will hand the lease of Hathaway's restaurant over to Mags Kainiete. I'd like to thank all of our wonderful customers, who have supported us at Hathaways over the past two years; you made it come alive. And a big thank you to my staff, who have been true friends, and a vital part of the Hathaway's journey. I'm still on Sark, and am developing, together with my business partner Phil Long, Grân Fǔ Sark Catering. We will do freelance catering for private and corporate functions, as well as our own pop up events. The new leaseholder of Hathaways will be taking over on 1st March, for renovations. They will be sure to update you on their spring opening. Again, many many thanks to you all, Bram (Smit).

We benefitted from the seeming unwillingness of Stocks Hotel to enter into any discourse so we booked Sunday lunch for a combination of multiple family wedding anniversaries and fathers' Day and it proved to be a very good choice indeed. The location, within the Seigneurie Complex but outside the main walled garden is very charming and the weather was fabulous which always helps, so we were bale to sit outside. The staff were very attentive and helpful and service was good. Fair to say we didn't get exactly what we had ordered (we all requested lobster grilled with garlic butter and it came cole) but rather than send it back, the naked lobster was actually so good that perhaps we made the wrong choice initially! The younger members of the party found enough of interest to eat, even the vegetarian teenager and I think we all he'd an excellent lunch. Will definitely go back again in preference to Stocks.

Group of 7 of us came for lunch today. The surroundings aren't as glamorous at Stocks / Sablognerie but the food is just as good and is very well priced. Service was a very high standard, the waitress we had was very friendly and efficient. Portion sizes were also very generous.
Would definitely consider returning here for lunch on my next Sark trip

I had the luxury of enjoying an amazing lunch at Hathaways.
The seafood platter was fantastic- so much fresh fish - fantastic service beautiful surroundings and very attentive staff. If you get the chance to visit Sark make sure you visit but book your table first so as not to be disappointed 😀

Booked a table for 8 people which included a toddler and some older kids for Friday evening.
Lovely table outside so toddler was able to roam and explore. Lovely, friendly service, playful and really helpful with small cutlery, extra plates etc to accommodate the little person without us even asking.
Food was beautiful! The slow cooked Sark lamb was gorgeous and dad loved his whole Sark lobster. Everyone had a wonderful 3 course meal, all food was fresh and seasonal. Best meal we've had on Sark for a while!
Definitely recommend, well worth a visit

Hathaways has been a "must visit" for years. Bram's incarnation this year has been superb. Whether lunch salads or, as last weekend, dinner. We managed to dine around the world without leaving a trail of foodmiles. Local soup, French bisque, traditional Cod and local Sark lamb prepared Turkish style.
Tasted delicious. See the pics. Very reasonable prices for both food and wine. Meets Jay Rayner's rule for wine £ :)
I would have liked to put this as "Cheap Eats" because to have dinner for 2 of this standard with wine and G&Ts for less than £100 (before well-deserved tip) is outstanding value.

Crab salad - disappointing - bowl of lettuce and cherry tomatoes with two splodges of coleslaw and a heap of defrosting white picked crab meat in the middle. As it was warm and sunny defrosting was completed on the plate. When pointed out to waitress she said it was the suppliers fault as it was fresh? that morning. Coffee and wine were fine.

A really well made coffee and carrot cake from the tea menu. The cake was made on the premises and tasted delicious. We could not fault any of it. We found the waiting staff pleasant and helpful. Well worth a visit.

Exquisite quality of food. Seafood fresh and perfectly prepared. Perfect cooked vegetables. Even the cream tea was delicious with tea leaves and warm scones. Friendly service.

When I found today's lunch (1st Oct) was Hathaway's last service before closing for the winter, I changed plans and went (don't normally do lunch but made an exception). Bram's kitchen was excellent as usual. Vegan mezze, local Sark Crab salad (thanks, Pip) and home-baked brownie (I don't usually do desserts but stretch a point if it's made in the kitchen).
On Sark, we are very lucky to have a number of skilled chefs running relaxed and friendly venues. I can't wait until Bram re-opens in 2024.

Tucked away from the main road, in the grounds of the Seigneurie a lovely outdoor space, as well as indoor dining if the weather doesn't cooperate, one can rest and relax with a varied menu to accommodate many tastes.
Staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Dessert home made and delicious.

Disappointing Ceasar salad .It's my favourite so I order it regularly and have tried it far and wide This one was nothing special at all .3 peices/ mouthfuls of cold chicken ,4 croutons ,some little gem lettuce ,3 peices of peeled sliced cucumber a few shavings of hard cheese .They forgot the anchovies and the sauce was hardly noticible and didn't have much flavour. I'd give this dish a miss

Hathaways is a restaurant in the grounds of La Seigneurie. The setting is most beautiful, looking out across the estate and towards the Gardens. The menu consists of fresh food with a good mixture of staple dishes (I had fillet steak) and local specialities, such as Sark lobster. There look to be some good choices for vegans, and some nice Asian salads too. The service was good. The current proprietor used to run game lodges in East Africa, so knows what he is about. Recommended!

Fantastic lunch again at this independently run little restaurant oozing with character. Food and service were superb and our meal was great value. The menu utilised lots of local ingredients and contained some different as well as classic options. Our young daughter was made to feel dry welcome too. Sark scallops and asparagus were a highlight. Homemade cakes really tempting. Such a beautiful setting next to the gardens as well. Highly recommend booking a table if visiting Sark.

We went here last Friday and I was so impressed. Service is great and really friendly. The food is to die for especially the crab salad which is the freshest I have ever had. I cannot fault this place.

We had a delicious early Dinner here. An excellent experience looking over the beautiful gardens. My husband enjoyed a Lasagna and I had a perfect half lobster. Delicious and not buried under any heavy sauce. Both meals were served with very tasty salads and chips. All Staff were lovely and helpful. The Seigneur was busily helping finish a Shade Roof over the outdoor terrace, for Summer, and said Hello.
