Bedford Inn in Thanet

Amazing creme brûlée! Great atmosphere and lovely tapas. Will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful meal here. The food was incredible. Especially the cheesecake brûlée! Service was amazing too. Highly recommend.

Beautiful pub, very friendly helpful staff and great food. I'd highly recommend not only eating and drinking here but staying overnight. We loved our stay during the summer and have already booked our next visit!

Great chill Saturday afternoon, a pint, delicious tapas and good music.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, nice garden, can't wait to see it in summer! Uodate, 1.5 years later - now living here, its the first pub i visited in Ramsgate and remains the best. My absolute favourite, the staff are incredible and the landlord is contstantly striving to make it better, putting work into the garden, adding beautiful hotel rooms, pitting on a delicious tapas menu are just some of the highlights, with so much other work going on behind the scenes to amke the place the best it can be.

Good independent pub! Use them or lose them! Prices comparable, not eaten but food looks good!!

A friendly, warm and genuine welcome from the staff is the first thing you will find as you walk into a smart contemporary bar. A good selection of drinks and an amazing tapas menu that Felipe VI (he’s the king of Spain by the way) would be envious of. Highly recommend The Bedford and its charm.

Tapas is amazing! Highly recommended…lovely local were here a lot 😬

We are luckily to be local to the Bedford and have always loved coming for a casual drink or a slap up roast on a Sunday. The garden area is unique with its own sandpit area perfect for the kids. Recently they have introduced a tapas menu which is amazing. Every dish is delicious and a good size and really reasonably priced. The staff are always so welcoming. Not to be missed!

What a lovely pub! Incredible atmosphere and amazing tapas food. Had such an awesome evening there. Landlord and bar staff were super friendly and particularly enjoyed Pebbles the part-time pub dog!

Amazing service, good recommendation on wines and absolutely amazing food.

We stayed here for 2 nights and the host Grant was massively helpful with any issues that arose. The rooms were very clean and decorated to a high standard, the en-suite was gorgeous. The pub does food over the weekend and boasts an impressive tapas menu, of which we couldn’t help but indulge. They do discounted cocktails from 5-7 and the barman was very friendly and skilled, had a brilliant playlist on and made our stay very memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

We organised my husband's lively 60th birthday party here. Staff were super-friendly and helpful and looked after us brilliantly in the planning and all night of the event itself. The new tapas range that we ordered for the party was delicious, plentiful and good value for money. The pub exterior is rather ordinary, but the interior is lovely and the downstairs function room manages to be cosy and spacious. There's also a surprisingly large patio garden. A great place - thoroughly recommend for your event or just a night out.

Popped in at lunch and had 3 of the tapas and all were excellent, the star was the calamari - delicious! Staff were very welcoming and we will be back when in area.

I have just returned from Spain and the tapas here was far better. Portions are massive too, far more generous than you ever expect from a tapas menu. Cannot recommend highly enough. Decor, drinks and service all top notch as always, and a cracking sunny garden.

We were booked in for 1 night but thought the room was so lovely,we decided to book for a 2nd.Great location,warm welcome and some good tips on where to go.We really liked Ramsgate,some great restaurants and bars and a sandy beach!Highly recommend!

Wonderful service and utterly delicious food, also, not to mention incredibly fast service, definitely coming back!

The Bedford Inn offers an exceptional fun culinary experience, especially during the summer! Yummy! Combining a diverse selection of flavorful dishes with outstanding service. The current menu features a range of Spanish-inspired tapas, each thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. The Patatas Bravas, at an accessible £4.5, are crispy and perfectly seasoned, making for a delightful start to the meal. For those who enjoy seafood, the Calamari with Aioli and Smoked Sardines paired with a fresh Pico de Gallo Salsa are not to be missed. Meat lovers will appreciate the Albondigas, a hearty blend of rabbit, beef, and pork meatballs! Omg the sauce!! For a unique and sophisticated treat, the Serrano Ham with Manchego, Marcona Almonds, and Lavender-Infused Spanish Forest Honey (£8.5) was my favourite thing, provides a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. The Rocket, Parmesan, and Pomegranate salad offers a refreshing contrast with its vibrant mix of textures and tastes! I really enjoyed myself today, the weather plus good food you can’t go wrong. The service at Bedford Inn is impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who ensure that every need is met. Overall, the combination of a delicious menu and exceptional service makes Bedford Inn my favourite pub in Ramsgate!

Had Spanish Tapas this evening, I wasn’t disappointed! Excellent Pub, best in Ramsgate. Great service

Stayed here on a Saturday night after a gig in Margate. Room was excellent (clean, comfortable and stylish). En-suite was excellent with plenty of hot water, towels etc. Proper pub too. I can personally vouch for the Red Stripe lager and draught Guinness! Will definitely use again, thanks for great stay.

I had an exceptional experience at this hotel and bar. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. My room was superb, featuring a bed so comfortable that I wished I could stay in it all morning. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't find a single fault. Highly recommended!

Absolutely incredible place, love the history and its gorgeous. Rooms are amazing, people are amazing, location is amazing and right near the beach. I can't wait to stay here again

Great service,super friendly staff and also delicious roast. Highly recommend!

Had a sunday roast and very impressed. It was delicious! Will definately come back. Also loved the interior and pub garden.

Nice pub/hotel with room newly tastefully refurbished

The best food, the best service! You really can't fault this establishment, Sam and Sim are absolutely wonderful, and clearly the team in the kitchen know what they are doing because we had the best Sunday roast yesterday, everything was made to perfection with love. Thank you!

Stayed for one night at The Bedford Inn, and had an excellent time. The building and rooms are very nicely set up (and look recently refurbished) -- our room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The place is nicely situated in relation to Ramsgate's train station and town centre. The owner went above and beyond expectations in terms of their welcome and hospitality -- highly recommended!

Came here for a wonderful roast dinner. We were seated downstairs which was cosy and full of ambience. The roasts were top quality. Highly recommended will be back

Meh, when busy the acoustics are horrible, everyone shouting. Typical modern pub.

Easily the best roast in Ramsgate (and probably the wider area too) - portion size was great, everything cooked to perfection. Lovely attentive staff and a friendly vibe too. Highly recommended!

This is our go to pub. Since being bought by the lovely landlord, Grant, it has been transformed not only once but twice. A modern yet cosy feel with a log burner and low lighting in the evenings. The downstairs area has a fantastic boutique hotel vibe with dark walls and a sumptuous feel. Sunday roasts are back after a few months hiatus. Book early! Lovely staff- a particular shout out to the bar manager Sam. Warm and friendly! Do pop along for a wonderful welcome and great drinks!

The best roast dinner I’ve EVER had aside from a home cooked one. Every mouthful was a delicious explosion of flavour making it impossible to not finish the very generous portions that is given. I’m now needing a nap and can’t move! Currently stuck in one of the cozy armchairs in the pub above the restaurant. We will 100% be back for a roast very soon! Thank you. Emma & Miguel.

My wife and I hosted a wedding party dinner here and I couldn't have picked a better venue. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, the decor and atmosphere was comfortable and warm, and all the guests raved about the food. Thank you so much for such a memorable night!

Awesome pub and amazing rooms. Literally have nothing negative to say! The rooms were done up to a spec I want in my own house. The pub itself is really welcoming, nice locals, with a sandy beer garden! Grant made us feel super welcome, really great guy. All staff were a pleasure to deal with, and would definitely be first decision every time we come back across to Ramsgate! Next time we'll stay for the roast because it smelled lovely!

Amazing service. Brilliant team. Brilliant food. Sam was amazing, I loved every part of her service. Please let me apologise if I have the wrong name, I’m sure that’s what her name was! If not it was the lovely bar lady in the polkadot skirt. 2 4 12£ cocktails were the best thing ever too! Thank you

We enjoyed Sunday roasts at one ofThanet’s little secrets. The service was 5 out of 5. The roast was one of the best I have had in years. Thank you management and waiting staff (all extremely friendly) making our experience a very pleasant one. We’ll be back for definite.

Lovely garden a big effort has been made, friendly staff. Sunday roast is delicious.

Customer service is brilliant, i can not recommend highly enough, staff are extremely helpful. Meals absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is very friendly.

A truly beautifully deocrated hotel with very kind, hospitable and warmly welcoming staff. We felt so comfortable and able to test here whilst also being able to soak up the local culture - people, coffee and the sea. I highly recommend it.

Best Sunday roast in Thanet by far, and the cocktails definitely can’t go amiss ! Fab atmosphere and the loveliest lot behind the bar Always a pleasure to pop into the Bedford! 🫶

The BEST Sunday roast I have ever had! Amazing atmosphere, drinks and team behind it all!

Wikid vibe. Great staff. Good fun Love The Bedford

Definitely the best sunday roast you'll find in Thanet. A beautiful pub and restaurant, lovely attentive staff.

Fantastic vegan Sunday roast, great atmosphere and the loveliest staff! Thank you for the food coma!

Great 1st visit here. The Guinness is top notch. Atmosphere great too.

If you're unemployed and unemployable, homeless and have various addictions then The Bedford Inn is the place for you, if not then stay away, it's like the bar in Star Wars with worse music...

nice friendly place,that have pool table nice big back garden,the staff really friendly,,good people to work for
