Beautiful location, stunning views, excellent staff & ambience in the restaurant. Beef Sunday roast was superb ( a pity the lamb had all gone and there was no cauliflower cheese available) roast potatoes were yummy & good vegetable trio of green beans,red cabbage and sweet potato mash. Crab Thermidor starter was perfect . Vegetarian menu was good with various options. Highly recommended . Price range starters £7 upwards ,mains £14 upwards. beef roast was £18.95

Came across this lovely pub whilst walking the coastal path (Pegwell Bay to Ramsgate). Very clean and tidy inside, we took our dogs through to the garden area overlooking the bay as we got a fairly strange look by a lady behind the bar (dogs weren’t dirty, just damp after a light rain shower), but there were some very clean and very well groomed dogs inside🤔). The rest of the staff were very chatty and cheerful; the bar prices were ok, we didn’t eat, but we will be returning for food on our next walk.

Have eaten here three times in past 6 months. The evening meal we had in November was great. Good vegetarian food Came back with a friend 2 months ago. They wouldn't serve us lunch as they had a large party. They did eventually offer us a Fried camembert. It was ok. I just ordered a bruschetta. It was cold, straight from the fridge. Had no dressing, wasn't toasted and not a drop of olive oil. I don't expect much from British pubs these days but that was an insult. To add to the injury the cheese melted chips were barely warm. How they'd managed to melt the cheese must be a miracle of science.

I love the location and building, so had planned a few times to try the food and booked for Mother's day. I really liked that you could choose either a set menu or specials. All our food was delicious, hot and good portions. My mum was so impressed with her lamb and the amount she got. Am so pleased they had great vegan options too. The staff were really helpful and we had a great view over the bay from upstairs. There was even a log fire burning and live music when we went back downstairs. There is a huge outdoor area too, which must be perfect in the summer. If you want a lovely country pub, with great food, friendly staff, built on a cliff, facing out over uninterrupted sea views, then you've found it 😊

Went here today with my family for a roast dinner and loved it. Beef, Chicken and Nut Roasts were huge, 4/5 roast potatoes each, lots of meat, gravy and veg. Pudding was delicious, would recommend the pavlova to anyone. Staff were very attentive and the food was very reasonably priced. Can’t comment on the other reviews however our experience today was excellent and we will be coming back soon!

Tried to buy a glass of red wine in this pub. I was informed that they do not serve Red Rioja by the glass unless there is a bottle already open. so if I wanted a glass of Red Rioja I would have to order another bottle. Suffice to say I would go the pub next door, The Sir Stanley where there is no quibble about ordering a glass of wine. Poor customer service this evening and I will not be using this pub again.

Went with a friend for lunch, i had heard a few stories that the food wasnt as good since it changed owners but thought I would give benefit of dout as maybe teething problems..she had the ploughman's sandwich, the bread was hard and stale. I had the mushrooms on soughdough, the mushrooms were hard and dried out. My friend did say to the waitress she didn't eat it all as the bread was stale, she said sorry about that. Since I got home 2 hours ago I have had a terrible upset stomach. It used to be a great place to eat. Won't be going again and won't be recommending to my friends and family.

One of the worst meals ever! Cutting into raw meatballs, what kind of a chef serves up undercooked meat? Grey creamed potato’s and tough pastry crust making up 90% of the pie my husband was served, covered in congealed sauce. By the time my meal had been replaced, a full 15 minutes later! my husband had finished his meal. Altogether disappointing, unappetising, and potentially dangerous.

We were staying in the hotel just down the road and we thought it would be lovely to pop in and grab a couple of cocktails and have a catch up with friends for an hour or so. Started off asking for the cocktail menu, off they went to find one…. There were a few tables to the right as we came in and asked the bar staff if we could sit there….. we were left standing whilst they chatted at the end of the bar, menu arrived and as no one had said anything to us for a good few minutes and we were just standing there, we popped through to where there were 3 or 4 empty tables. Before we could sit down the bar person came over and said we couldn’t go there as they were still checking if the tables were booked.. about five minutes have gone by at this point…. We moved back to the bar, no interaction at all from the staff, we started to feel unwelcome so we said we are moving on, popped the menu down and walked out. Next thing we know is a male member of staff comes out the door calling down the road saying we have taken the menu!! Not the case, we explained we wouldn’t do that and carried on… no apology from him at all, either for the shocking service or the accusation that he had made towards us. Appalling service here, not welcoming and missed out on some easy money…. We were going to go there in the Sunday as it looked lovely but went elsewhere due to the poor service.

My partner and I just got back and not impressed is an understatement. We both had the beef Sunday roast, could not be simpler, the thing that impressed me most was the beef, how they sliced two small slices of beef that thin to be able to call it a portion is beyond me! Three small roast spuds cold and a parsnip all cold in the middle was served with a cold Yorkshire pudding, a few minutes later followed with the smallest portion of veg to share i have ever seen. 7 green beans, a soup spoon of orange mash and a soup spoon of red cabbage and apple. The veg was warm as it had been in the microwave, and all for the small sum of £18 !! Check the picture out, I had more beef in the picture because my partner wanted to equal what was plated. A very underwhelming, expensive meal. I would give it no stars if it were an option. The pub, staff, ambience of the pub is nice and welcoming , and view from the garden is picturesque on the plus, but if I was honest I would rather eat in the toby carvery ( which I detest) than eat here!.

We visited this restaurant for a roast dinner. ( weekend break) We come from Suffolk. 3 of us was ill from eating the Beef roast dinners The beef was very chewy undercooked & looked horrible. Not very appetising at all. You'd expect to get lovely cooked tender lean cuts of good quality meat. Not from this place. Quite shocking they serve that up for us. Had lovely cuts of beef over the years in many places to eat. The Vegetables in the serving bowls to share was pretty awful too & small portions. Meal wasn't hot. 1 parsnip & 3 roast potatoes on a adult meal plate. I couldn't eat it I shared a bit of my left over beef to my dog & she was sick. Wish I hadn't given it to her. Will we be visiting again? That's a big No!! Hope this doesn't happen in future for other customers who visit. Head office has given me a voucher in total for the 3 roast dinners. Not a refund. Will we use the vouchers in their other restaurants? I highly doubt it Its put me right off.

We came to visit Belle tavern on Sunday the 24th September for my mother's birthday. We came for weekend away to visit the coastal places in the area. Sadly 3 of us became unwell after having the beef Roast dinners. My poor mum. The other guests had pork & they were fine. They weren't overall impressed. I did not eat all my beef/dinner so I gave some beef to my dog & she was poorly aswell. Wish I hadn't!! The cuts of beef looked awful very chewy, rubbery & undercooked. Should be lovely, fresh, lean , tender & cooked properly. Not very appetising at all. The vegetables didn't look great either. Overall luke warm. We will not be returning when we come to visit Ramsgate again in near future We're from Suffolk. Hope no one else gets poorly from eating at this restaurant. Head office sent me a voucher via email to cover the 3 meals. I highly doubt we will be using them to eat food in any of their restaurants for sure.

Service was polite enough, had a couple of club sandwiches which were okay. Chicken looked a little pink for my liking. Chips were pretty good. Liked that the sauce bottles were labelled to monitor their date of use. Toilets were fine. My daughter had the burger and fries and when I tried a bit at the end of our meal I could see why she’d only taken one bite. It was literally like a biscuit. I can only imagine it had dried out a lot before it was then over cooked. I was quite upset for her, it really peeves me that less love is given to children’s meals. Couldn’t be bothered to go through the awkwardness of complaining or being offered a replacement when we’d otherwise finished. Don’t think I’d go back or really recommend.

45 minute wait for very indifferent food. We ordered and waited and waited. Lots of food was served, but none of it ours. There was a lull about 30 mins in, when no food was coming out. It was starting to get dark outside and our dog wad fussing, so I went inside to ask. A lady, I presume the manager, told is there was a 45 min wait for food and we should have been told that. We had not, as we would have just had a drink. After about 50 minutes the food was served and the same woman came out to insist we would have been told. Eventually she agreed with my husband thar she has served us and had not mentioned a 45 min wait. The mussels and chips consisted of about 15 mussels, some empty and some closed, for about £17. The pie seemed shop bought and mash and greens like school dinners. The lady offered to bring some ham for our fussing dog, but this never materialised. We ate quickly in the growing darkness and left, shocked and disappointed by the slow service, poor food and high prices. Never again.

Only l choice of a Vegetarian dish on a 2 page menu. A Tofu unimaginative dish. We had booked the table ahead after a family funeral as l have been going there ( but not in the last year or so) for 15 years and the vegetarian choices were always lovely and varied before. Despite the helpful but hands tied catering team and staff they could not offer me anything but cauliflower and salad as an alternative or a soya burger. I can buy that in Tesco. We left. Went next door to the Earl Grey- the menu was a huge variety of Vegetarian, gluten free and lovely meat and fish choices. I had a delicious meal of roasted peppers and veg, couscous, salad and the best chips in Kent. We spent 100 pounds for the meal and all the drinks and coffees for 4. Totally worth it.

I booked The Belle Vue for 6 people a few weeks in advance, our friends where coming down from Bristol, and wanted to take our parents somewhere nice and thought this would be a great opportunity to try out this place. We live near Dover (20 miles away) the table was booked for 6pm so we went to Ramsgate first for a wander around the harbour. Someone then rang me at 4:30pm to tell me they’d ran out of all roast dinners, pork belly and mussels. I asked what else they had on the menu they told me they had everything else, we were already disappointed they had ran out of roasts as that’s what most of us wanted.. if they knew they were running out they could have at least had the courtesy to perhaps call us and said “we’re running out of roasts, you’ve got a reservation with us could we reserve a roast for any of you?” Considering we booked weeks in advance. We decided to go anyway, which was a mistake.. when we arrived we where seated then told there where even more things they’d ran out of the menu!! We decided to leave being little to no choice left at all. Being 6pm on a Sunday this then left us phoning around trying to find somewhere else to seat us. Eventually we went to The Bell Hotel in Sandwich who were extremely welcoming and catered for all 6 off us, with great food. Extremely disappointed with The Belle Vue very poorly organised.

We took our mum here for Mother’s Day. Started off a good evening with a lovely pint of ale. We all ordered a roast. There was a bit of confusion about what they had left and in the end we settled for some beef. The meat was very tasty but the let down was the veg. One small dish of greens and potatoes between 4 people was not good. When they brought it out I thought it was for one person. The pigs in blankets were also very small. Halfway through the meal it sounded like some drunk people had got on the karaoke so kind of killed the mood. It wasn’t overly priced so did make up for it a small bit. Beautiful view overlooking the sea in the beer garden ! Will come back but probably just for drinks as we left still a bit hungry.

Very disappointed with my lunch, ordered ham, egg and chips, which is probably one of the easiest things on the menu, as you just have to put the ham on a plate, deep fry the chips, but somehow the chef couldn't even cook 2 runny fried eggs properly. They were like bullets, you could literally stand your fork up in them. I'd normally complain, but it's a pain when other people are eating their meal, then they finish when your new meal turns up. Come on chef, cook some nice runny eggs in future.

Oddly, we chose this pub when my niece visited from overseas some years ago, this time it was with her mum on a visit from NZ. First thing to say is that the pub certainly lives up to its name. Uninterrupted views across Pegwell bay with Sandwich and Deal in the distance. We arrived as the tide turned and when we left it had rushed in, scattering the gulls and waders. I had a tasty bitter. shandy, Maggie her usual coke and my sister chose a coffee. As the wind was still strong and from the north we chose a table on the terrace but tucked back to avoid the wind. The service was fast and the waiter a skilled lass who cleared all our dishes in one go with aplomb. I had a vegetarian option; a 'burger' consisting of halloumi fingers, portobello mushroom and smoked red pepper in a brioche bun with all the trimmings (although I declined the coleslaw). It came with a very large bowl of chunky chips and both were delicious. Jean had the 'pie of the day' which was beef and ale accompanied by mash and veg; Maggie went for a starter of chicken strips with salad and a side of chips which proved too much and I had to, reluctantly, polish them off. Nothing madly out of the ordinary here, but all well cooked, well presented and showing a bit of imagination too. Best vegetarian burger I've had in ages... so much better than just replacing the meat with mock meat. I will certainly be back.

A get together with friends and family, the food for everyone else was bang on. BUT If you are gonna charge £7,50 for a scotch egg, at least make it a chicken egg, quail eggs for that kind of money is a joke and it was tasteless, I love this place, but on this occasion the sooooooo called scotch egg was a huge disappointment. I can get bigger and better from Aldi, £2.50. As i said,luv this place but not sure its as good as it used to be, defiantly more expensive , without the quality, very sad, very disappointed .

One the finest pubs gardens in Thanet, if not Kent. Scenic Southern viewing can provide an outstanding experience on a nice day. The clifftop terraced overlooks the cliffs and shores of Pegwell bay to your right, the mouth of the River Stour and the coasts of Deal and Sandwich Bay lay directly ahead. They offer outside drinking with the opportunity to dine on finely crafted Italian style pizzas. Sunday afternoons are frequently complimented with live music. The indoor bar is neither too big not small but cozy providing a comfortable shelter in the less fair weathered days out. Not the cheapest but worth it for the view and when it's on, the live musical entertainment. Highly recommended.

We sat outside and thought a spot of lunch would be nice. To be honest it was very good and very good value. Please don't expect table service. But it was still good. Staff were friendly and views were lovely.

Had the prawn sandwich and it was marred by the thick margarine used which tainted the whole sandwich.

We were very disappointed.We are locals and came to your restaurant with friends.The medium rare steak was well done,the Caesar salad was not fresh,the lettuce was not crisp and very little dressing.The Budda bowl had few ingredients,the salmon was good,but the rest not so good.We think more care needs to be taken.This experience puts us off wanting to come again.We would hesitate recommending you.For the price you charge it was not good value for money.

Beautiful location with super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food - we stopped for lunch on a Saturday and food came quick and hot even though the garden was busy! Free period products in the ladies was a lovely touch too!

Booked for a family meal to celebrate a birthday. There were 8 of us plus a 1 year old. We were seated upstairs and the room was lovely with a fab view around the coast towards Deal. Tilly our waitress was brilliant! Friendly and attentive and nothing seemed too much trouble. Food was delicious and plentiful. There were Gluten free options. The only thing I would say (which is sadly common in most places) is the gluten free options are fairly limited compared to the whole menu. The overall evening was great and we will definitely be returning.

Very friendly welcome, good service and amazing views from the tables in the garden. The menu was interesting but sadly the quality of cooking didn’t match the prices. I felt that the building and garden would benefit from renovation to make the most of its fabulous setting. I would go again but opt for a sandwich next time!

Beautiful view! Underwhelmed by food and service. The menu sounds beautiful but our food took over an hour to get to us (we weren't told there was such a wait time and lots of people who ordered after us got their food before) when our food arrived it was missing lots of bits or simply not as described on the menu. The food was good though, and they did bring the missing bits when we hailed a staff member, but quite a while later, so there was little point. It took ages to get served at the bar and it didn't seem that busy to me. They overcharged me and when I questioned it they were taken a back and needed to get a manager to do something so I could pay correctly.

This is a really nice pub. Cosey on the inside with a large rear terrace on the cliff top. It can be a bit windy outside and there can be some seagulls about but it's generally very nice with fantastic views over the bay and beyond. Inside it's a traditional vibe and look with decent beers and friendly competent staff. There are even a few tables by the window with great views and a real wood burning fireplace near the entrance. It's a bit out the way but well worth the trip! Plus there is a free carpark outside and rails for bicycles. Hard to fault this place really. Enjoy !!

We had a good Sunday roast here, decent service and a lovely atmosphere. Great views along the coast towards Deal. There was a limited choice on the Sunday roast sadly, Chicken , Beef or a vegetarian option! Diners before us all asked for extra gravy , so we asked for it as the plate arrived . It was required , very little appeared with the Fayre. The pub is well set out and the decking area is terrific, better in good weather!

If I could give ten stars I would. We celebrated my parents 50th Wedding Anniversery here and it did not disapoint. Staff friendly and attentive, views incredible, catering for 14 of us and all of our food was amazing. We booked here short notice as another venue cancelled last miniute and I am so glad they did. It was a perfect. Highly recomend, a big thank you to all staff, we will be back.

My friend and I went in for a quick drink. She ordered a bottle of orange juice topped up with a splash of lemonade from the tap, mine was the same but with a bottle of apple juice. We were charged £12 for 2 soft drinks! This is absolutely shocking, an absolute rip off!

A warm welcome and a lovely warm fire. Delicious loaded chips and tasty homemade fish cakes. It's worth a visit, and on a bright day, the view of Pegwell Bay is spectacular. Lovely walk around the local quaint architecture plus super dog and children's play space. Will come again...
