Food Scene
The best Fish & Chips in the area - not only can you get proper beer battered cod and chips but if you fancy something different you can have any fish from the Fishmonger next door - how about Lobster and chips for dinner instead?

The best sushi in the area, possibly the best sushi full stop - pop in and get a menu and place an order to get the tastiest freshiest sushi around. They also have ready prepared boxes to pick up on the spot. Taka, the owner, is a legend and is very passionate about his food. There is also a whole wall of Japanese food and drink if you're feeling brave.

Sightseeing
Kingston is an ancient market town and the market still exists to this day. Superb range of market stalls selling all your fruit and veg needs, to wonderful food stands - my favourite is the Little Ginger Vegan stand that does the best vegetarian burger around!
