Captain Digby in Thanet

Out first ever visit and we were impressed by what we had for lunch. We only chose a wrap and jacket potato, respectively, but both were beautifully presented, nicely done and very tasty. The restaurant was spotless and the service was excellent - staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Thorley Tavern Captain Digby Broadstairs Very expensive evening family dinner. Fish & chips not up to standard. Over priced , under delivered! Large Zinfandel £7.70 Large Pinot Grigio £8.40 Pint Cruz Campo £6.20 Absolutely ridiculous we are in Thanet not London/ New York, maybe that is why it was so empty on an Friday afternoon/ evening. Will not be returning again as you get much better value for your money in local pubs with restaurants (Lesters) ! It may have a childrens soft play but boy are you paying for it !!!!!

A brilliant location. Sadly service and food quality didn’t match the surroundings. For a start, staff were borderline rude. The wraps we ordered were all tortilla ( supermarket versions) and minimal filling with zero seasoning. It all felt a bit like the venue that’s aware it’s the only choice in the village and cynically exploits its advantage.

Great view, better to sit outside as the pub is looking run down, toilets need re doing,, service was ok but not that friendly

Great food as always staff were very pleasant, door was open which was making us cold gentleman kindly asked if we want it shut ,

As a local couple who walk to the digby probably 2 weekends a month all year round i was outraged that today we were driving back from broadstairs and thought we would pop in for a drink to be told that there was a £10 charge to park as having drinks didnt qualify for free parking. So that will now be £500 to £1000 they will not be getting from us. Locals keep them ticking over during the winter months but now the tourist season is here we seemingly dont count. Is this the kind of place you wish to give your money to?

I had cod loin in pancetta spinach mash white wine sauce got vegetables too it was excellent and a large meal I couldn't finish it. Hubby had cod and chips which was very good too. Went outside for drinks to look at the gorgeous view of sea and beach really enjoyed it all.

This is an Olde Worldy Pub Restaurant a nice building. We stopped here for lunch and it was a fine day so we could sit outdoors with great views over the bay . There was a good varied menu and the ood was what we expected typical.pub food. A large car park so we walked to Botany Bay and back after dining and then stopped for another drink

Came here for a drink whilst in the area. Sat outside on a glorious afternoon,watching the world go by. Food coming out looked good and portions were large. If coming for a drink remember to register parking at the bar

A fantastic location with a great view of the beach and cliffs. A large outside area with plenty of tables. The pub itself is a lovely building and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Nice food albeit a little overpriced. Only one cask ale available e Doombat which is my pet hate

The manager with funny accent at the bar was not polite, very rude. An unfriendly person in a friendly work environment. The food was really good.

We had a weekend family get together and came here for lunch. Staff were polite and friendly and seemed genuinely interested in helping us with our choices. All of us had starters and mains, a few had dessert. All the courses arrived together, we all really enjoyed our food, plates were cleaned and everyone was happy! It’s such an interesting pub with a great history. If you are in the area I highly recommend it.

Visited the caption digby as a big family for a birthday on a Sunday. Excellent service throughout with all staff being very friendly, patient, and accommodating. One of our younger ones has allergies, and they were excellent with making sure things were safe and what options were available. Bar staff were great and the food was really really good too. We often come here for family events as the soft play is great for the kids to keep them busy whilst we wait. Overall a great experience and have always had a good experience here to be honest. Tracey and her team provided great customer service and were friendly, helpful and always smiling. The food was also well worth it. I highly recommend this place for family events, especially if you have young children. And special thanks to Tracey for giving the kids some chocolate if they clean up the soft play. The kids loved that.

Sam and his team are amazing we had a birthday celebration lovely roasts and meals service impeccable so family friendly the children played in the soft play the staff brought out our birthday cake and lit the sparklers Love the Digby

Superb restaurant. Very helpful and attentive staff. Very caring and considerate. Food was excellent. Good atmosphere. Large portions which are excellent valuef or money.. Good parking. Will definitely be returning. We'll done to all staff.

We had Sunday lunch and I can't fault it. I had the roast beef and it was a large portion, all hot and perfectly cooked. I had salted caramel baked cheesecake for dessert which was equally delicious. Prices were reasonable. The restaurant was very busy and the staff were excellent; we didn't have to wait too long for anything.

Fantastic quality and value for money, the portions are more than enough (and I eat a lot); plus the staff are friendly, efficient and attentive.

went Sunday for dinner and drinks , was told abruptly with no empathy no room for dinner for a long while , no timescale was offered . Order drinks anyway, Beer £4.75 and Smirnoff Ice at £5.30 !! Member of staff pushed by me whilst drink and spilt my beer down me , partly apologized and then came bock with a bit of blue tissue . Wont rush back and will spend my money elsewhere

Steak and Chicken dinner with chips tomatoes and mushrooms So plate full of thin tatty cold chips overcooked mushroom and tiny vine tomatoes Couldn't believe how bad those meals were It has been mentioned this establishment has gone down hill and for us never never again

Great New Years Eve meal. Food delicious and great service. Lovely family atmosphere. Will be returning soon.

We rode to the scenic Kingsgate Bay to return for the goats cheese and red onion chutney salad. It is easily the best salad I've ever eaten, so filling that I've recommended it to family and friends. The menu also caters for those that prefer burgers and pastas too! Seating is available in and outside which has kids play areas and is dog friendly.

Went to celebrate a family birthday; the staff were great and we had a fabulous meal. Thanks to Tracey and the rest of the staff for making it such a lovely occasion - the balloons were a lovely touch especially for a birthday two days before Christmas!

Had the Xmas three course menu for a family party for my dads 80th birthday. 14 people. Booking was straight forward and had a couple of menu/people changes which they were helpful. Had a warm welcome from staff. Food excellent and plentiful. Staff couldn’t do enough for our party. If I asked for something they obliged immediately. Manager and staff are the best I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant and that’s how all places should be. Recommend the Caption Digby to anyone. Thanks for making our memories special.

In the past we have had a nice experience at the pub. But sadly since a change of staff, our visit was extremely disappointing. The managers Sam and Rob in particular were very rude and kept demanding that we pay for the car park despite ordering over £40 of food at the bar. We also ordered teas during the day but the same manager couldn’t be bothered to give me a cup to carry three hot drinks. The customer service was appalling. Then when we returned in the evening, we had reserved a table inside. One of us was willing to sit outside and eat with the dog but they kept demanding that we had to eat inside or would have to pay the car park fees. ‘Why say you are a dog friendly pub when you are not?’ I was willing to eat outside with my dog but was made to feel uncomfortable. The staff really need training in customer service. I would not recommend to others, you would be much better visiting a nice pub further afield.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I can’t remember the ladies name who served us but she was so helpful and lovely! We will be back :)

Great for food, service and atmosphere. Loved everything. Have eaten too much ch as everything was delicious 😋

Came across the sign going into Broadstairs and gave it a try. Was seated with views over the bay. Ordered drinks and food that was served fairly quickly considering they were busy. Very good food served by attentive staff.

This pub was local to where we were staying, so went for dinner. The portions were huge we had the whitebait and prawn cocktail for staters, the prawn cocktail was basiclly half a pint of prawns with very little lettuce, very filling. Mains were the chicken and avocado salad which was huge over half a chicken, and the chilli, found the chilli a bit dry and tasteless, but everything else couldnt be faulted. The staff were helpful.

Arrived here unintentionally as we were let down with a planned arrangment, so was expecting nothing more than ordinary. The pub is obviously popular as there were plenty of customers, and lots eating, either in their dining room, pub, or big terrace at the front overlooking (at the cliff edge) the sea. We both had a warm goats cheese and walnut salad which was most generous in all the ingredients, the salad was the choicest leaves and with a lovely dressing. My wife was defeated before the end... it wasn't wasted. Had a pint of Sharps doombar, which is not my favourite, but hey ho. We were both impressed and glad the previous arrangment had fallen through.

Stopped off whilst cycling the Viking route. We sat outside and ordered via an outside hatch, despite being busy the staff were very efficient and we had our drinks quickly. A typical pub menu, however, a good choice of salads. Our food arrived within a reasonable time, well presented with quality ingredients. We had a goats cheese salad and grilled chicken salad. Nice flavours and large portions which justified the prices charged. Great views out to sea from the outside terrace. Staff were friendly and clearly working very hard.

This is our usual place after Botany Bay, before heading back to London. We always sit at seat 101, the food is great, the staff are great, the pub is very family friendly. We couldn't ask for more.

Best service we have experienced in the UK for some time. The food was delicious, hot and well presented. We will return.

We parked there so we could go on the beach…it was late afternoon they charge £10 parking for all day! They still charged us the full price DISGUSTING

Great service thanks, lovely food and staff are fantastic, second time here for food both time's Great. Great location with great views. So thank you to all the staff

We visited for lunch with family. Great food. & Service. Would definitely recommend the liver and bacon :)

We went to the Captain Digby for lunch with our two children. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious- all of us had clean plates! We also had a table with a lovely view of the castle and the cliffs. We then wondered outside with our drinks and let the children burn off some energy in their lovely play area! Will definitely be returning!

Pub und Gaststätte in einem. Reservierung über OpenTable problemlos. Gemütliche Atmosphäre. Spielmöglichkeiten für die Kinder im Innen- und Aussenbereich. Malmöglichkeiten für die Kinder Guter Service. Gutes Essen. Die Lage ist „stunning“. Das Plus ist tatsächlich die außergewöhnliche Kombi aus Service, Kinderfreundlichkeit, Lage und sehr gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Visited with friends for a special birthday, balloons were put on our table free of charge, we took a cake which the staff brought out & sang happy birthday, these nice touches mean a lot!Food is consistently good & plentiful, staff are lovely, this is my go to place.Well done everyone, see you soon.

Just the right kind of place to find halfway along a coastal walk. VERY well organised. Food - and drink - superb. Service exceptional. Well done!! A lot of effort has obviously been put in to make the Captain Digby - and it's worked. Very individual.

Small family lunch meal, food was great. Though they were fairly busy, the staff still made us feel welcome and valued. Will certainly return, again.

Best family pub we have ever been to! The kids loved the indoor and outdoor play area and there was a separate kids toilet. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely go again.

A good varied choice of food and drinks, in a friendly, comfortable setting with good service. Outside tables with lovely views over the bay.

Food was exceptional . Service was excellent and quick.Easy to order.Has amazing views if seated outside.Great value.

Good location with a nice view out across the bay to the castle. Good outside seating and a well organised system for ordering food and drink. The service was quick and friendly. My only slight criticism would be the portion size of the fish for the fish and chips - it was a little on the small side I thought for the money. But otherwise really good. My wife had the chicken burger and it was well cooked and reasonably priced.

Visited this pub restaurant on 22nd July 2021. We drove down from London and after a few hours at the beach we decided to walk up to Captain Digby for a bite to eat. I opted for the chargrilled chicken and my hubby fried scampi. The quality of the food, the way it was cooked and the presentation was exceptional. The portion sizes were generous. The chefs takes pride in how they look after their customers. The waitress and bar service were very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend and will definitely be dining here again. Shame it's 118 miles from Harrow or I'd be dining here every week. Overall I give this place 10/10! Oh and what an amazing location set on the top of a cliff overlooking the beach. The views from this establishment is idyllic.

Great family place to eat, parking and it is near to beaches, I believe you can pay to park here and use the nearby beaches also.

Our lunch was ace we all had the fish and chips and non of us had annoying bad to say about the food. Beautiful outside seating area.

Lovely alfresco lunch of freshly baked baguettes filled with bacon and Brie and the other being sausage and onions, hot fresh chips with a crisp side salad made for an enjoyable time. The outside terrace was busy which led to a slight delay in being served but was obviously cooked fresh to order and was worth the wait. Friendly service with a smile, would definitely recommend.

Having secured a mid-afternoon table booking due to it being full booked at all other times, I was surprised to turn up and find the place pretty much empty. The whole outside was empty and apparently they were not serving food out there. This seemed like a complete oversight as it was a glorious day and instead, we had to sit in a dark rather hot part of the restaurant instead.Staff seemed pleasant enough and our order was taken relatively promptly. Everything came as ordered and the food was OK - my BBQ ribs were quite dry and my son's pizza was a microwave one which never goes down well...! Overall, it was a little overwhelming.Our food wasn't cleared for some time and was only cleared after prompting. We then had to prompt to see the desert menu and prompt again to get our bill. It was as if the staff had just disappeared.Our table was booked for 3.15 and we left around 5.30 and still the restaurant wasn't full, nor was the outside taken in any way. We left quite underwhelmed. The meal came to a fair price too for 4 adults and 3 children and we had just expected so much more.

My partner and our 10 week baby went out for lunch and The Captain Digby did not disappoint!! Brilliant warm and welcoming friendly service from word go!! We was greeted by Holly a lovely host who gave us a fantastic seat in the window overlooking the sea what a lovely view. For starters we had The Captains Table Combo, this consisted of gorgeous ribs that melted in the mouth, onion rings, beautiful duck spring rolls, and delicious chicken tenders that tasted amazing!! Crisps and dip too!! For our mains we both decided on Minted Lamb Burgers as seen in the picture (I had to have a nibble before taking a snap) well presented and taste was incredible!! The coleslaw was tasty and complemented the chips and burger really well!! Friendly service and made us feel welcome from our first step inside. I can’t wait for our next visit 10/10 thankyou Captain Digby staff

We decided to book on a random wednesday evening as we are local to the area and missed the Digby over the last year. Food was amazing as usual, the only downside to the whole meal was it was blisteringly hot in the upstairs corner where we were sat. All 3 of us were dripping with sweat (apologies for the detail but just to explain how bad it was).At one point halfway through the meal I was tempted to go outside and cool down but was probably just as hot outside. Would say, if there is a chance of getting some ceiling fans installed like the frigate or something similar, take that option. It's not many days its hot hot and we eat inside but when we do, it would make all the difference.Thanks again for a wonderful meal - steak cooked to perfection, wonderful chefs homemade chicken, ham hock and leek pie and a very spicy chilli later and we were stuffed!See you soon :)

Me and my husband came here for dinner Saturday evening as lots of people local recommended it! We sat inside and had booked online beforehand. The food was brilliant and massive portions. It was very busy and the waiters and waitresses did not stop - so our main took a little bit longer to come than maybe we would have liked, but the starter was fast, and when we asked for anything else, it was speedy and staff were helpful. The location is so pretty and pricing was really good too! Will definitely be back :-)

Ok as long as you have an iPhone or similar as you have to access a slow website (they say it’s an app, but it’s not) before you can order.No a patch on the Wetherspoons system, and three times the prices.The actual pub website trumpets local ales, with non available.

I looked at the website before visiting, intending to eat the baguettes for lunch. After queuing up for ages, I was told they 'don't serve light lunches on a bank holiday weekend'. This was not stated anywhere on the menu that was supplied, nor did it say on the menu that is was a 'light lunch'. What is so hard about making a sandwich? Don't you make enough money from this order? Looking at the rest of the menu, I could order lots of greasy options... burgers burgers burgers, fish and chips, chips chips, greasy meat grills, at inflated prices. Thank goodness there was one nice salad option. Just another pub restaurant, seeking to maximise profits and your waistline.

Excellent service and wonderful food. Holly and team always make you feel welcome. In regards to Covid it felt very safe.

It was great to be able to go out and eat. We were greated by a lovely waitress and our drinks were with us in good time. We ordered our food and it arrived looking amazing. Unfortunately we were one meal short and it stayed like this for a while. The blonde man in charge, looked completely lost and was faffing about whilst the waitresses done everything inside and out. It was about 10minutes before one of the waitresses asked if the man had spoke to us about the missing burger. This is the blonde man in charge and he hadn’t. She was lovely and apologetic and my partners burger arrived looking delicious and she said it was. Great food, lovely view, lovely waitresses. Just a shame the man didn’t have control and small blips happened, which the waitresses had to sort for him. Would be 5 stars if the man contributed and didn’t look like a spare part.

Visited here on a very busy first Saturday afternoon after COVID restrictions eased; glorious sunshine and the outside seating area was unsurprisingly packed. Despite this, we managed to get seated straight away and after a bit of fun with the mobile app ordered drinks and food. Typical pub grub offering....3 of us had the beer battered cod & chips and one had the burger, and everyone was happy with theIr food. Drinks arrived no problem, and whilst there was a good 30 minute wait for the food this was no problem as we were able to enjoy the fantastic sea/beach view and great weather. Bill for 4 was £100 for food and 2 rounds of drinks, so fairly reasonable. Appropriate COVID procedures in place for using the inside bathrooms.

Fantastic hidden gem perfect for the family or a special night out. Kids play area in and out was fantastic! Great food and service

Came here on a Sunday lunchtime. Had a table booked for opening. Hand sanitizer and social distancing measures in place at the front door. Had the Turkey and beef roast medley from the specials board. Came with plenty of meat, new potatoes, roast potatoes, a massive Yorkshire pudding and cranberry sauce. Veg to share came in a separate dish with carrots, cauliflower cheese, broccoli and red cabbage. Very good standard of food!Had apple and pear crumble for dessert and that was amazing too.Staff were very friendly and efficient. Amazing sea view too!We were so impressed with this place, that we came back again on our last full day.Had things from the main menu instead of the specials board that time and we were equally impressed. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

We stopped here for lunch after spending a few hours on the beach in Kingsgate Bay. We ate outside and ordered food and drinks through a hatch so did not see anything of the inside.The food was great, and the beer was good (even in a plastic glass!) and the hungry seagulls stayed away from our table until we had got up to leave.Would definitely go back again.

Booked table to celebrate anniversary. Great decision as food and service were excellent. It was not the reason for booking but discovered when we arrived that the "eat out to eat out" discount scheme was still being applied for food purchased so also excellent value-even without this would still have been excellent value.

We visited last weekend for lunch and had a really lovely meal. The Covid safety measures were excellent. The staff were helpful and attentive and were very careful when serving the food and drinks. The Captain Digby is one of our favourites and we hope to return soon!

We went for a family lunch on Wednesday. The staff are always very obliging and cannot do enough to help. We had a baby with a buggy and a senior with a walker in the party and nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable with their Covid rules, nicely spaced tables . As always their food is very good. Seafood linguine was excellent.. To be highly recommended

Stopped off on walk from Broadstairs to Margate. Great to have the ordering window to the terrace & had a light lunch & a pint. Really enjoyed it - lovely location, thanks very much.

Down for a week and was driving along the coast and found Captain Digby on the coast. Very well set up so you don't have to go into the bar at all, you can order food and drinks from a hatch and very easily done and safe. First surprise, they were still doing a 2 diners for 1 offer so bill was a lot less than expected and then the food arrived. It was the second surprise as the baguettes where lovely and very filling. Seeing other food arrive to other customers it all looked delicious and we would not of been disappointed no matter what we chose. Thanks to the staff.

We visited Cliftonville Monday 14th September. We decided to have a few beers sitting outside at the Digby because the weather was so nice. There were quite a few spare tables both outside and inside . We then realised having asked a memberof staff that if you were seated outside you had to order food and drink from the serving hatch . I then noticed a queue of about 20 people at this hatch. I said to another staff member we only want a couple of pints and was told we had to queue at the hatch where people were mainly ordering food. There was one girl serving at the hatch and she had to go and get any drinks that were ordered from the bar. As a consequence I waited in the queue about 20 minutes before finally ordering 3 beers. I have visited quite a few bars since Covid procedures were introduced but this was a complete farce what they were doing here. Inside was empty and there was nobody at the bar. The Digby is maybe a restaurant but it cannot be called a bar. In the time we had to queue we could have had another 2 rounds and there is no way after drinking your first pint would anyone queue another 20 minutes to get a second round. So inour group that 3 beers were consumed that could have been 9. The Digby has plenty of space and in our opinion whoever decided on the procedure could have done a lot better toimprove their takings. We were not the only ones saying it was a joke and one member of staff even sid it was ridiculous that theonly place selling drinks was the hatch. we have been recommended to visit this place many times but each time we have visited there has been an issue over shortages of staff or the way things are being run. Or does everyone only go to the Digby to eat.On the day in question as there was only one person taking orders for both food and drink and having to bring the drink to the hatch herself everyone must have been waiting ages forboth food and drink.

Stopped by for drinks after a long walk in this beautiful area. Customers there all enjoyed good food which everyone seemed happy with. Great place to stop for a meal and a drink.

We had drinks and light lunch here in the beer garden. Great views. Prompt service and delicious baked potatoes. Lots of parking but if you want to go to the beach you have to pay £10 for the day. A lovely spot away from the crowds (at least midweek in September).

We went to the Captain Digby on a busy Sunday after booking ahead the day before. It was busy and we had many different servers during the meal but the food was very good and well-prices. They also had a hatch-bar which served drinks and food outside if you were not able to book which was a nice touch. Great for families and groups.

Didn’t fancy stopping in Margate. But found this little gem. Stayed for three hours chilling and chatting in the sunshine. We were seated outside and able to order through a window hatch. Had jacket and a cheese baguette a coffee and a coffee. The staff were brilliant kind friendly and patient. The views were absolutely stunning! Great car park and facility’s. And a short walk to the beach

Staying in nearby hotel, we decided to try the Captain Digby for dinner. Great food, fantastic service, very COVID aware and respectful and catered for my fussy GF husband. We had the butterflied king prawns and garlic chilli cheese button mushrooms to start - yum, followed with garlic & herb chicken breast and steak for mains - with a lovely big baked potato for the GF hubby. And his meal was made with a most wonderful banana split with multiple coffees! The service was excellent and informed - definitely a recommendation.

Amazing steak onion ale pie never have i seen one with so much lean meat the rest of the dish was good .

Food was ok and service good but no record taken of phone number or email etc in the case of needed for track and trace unlike Weatherspoons where all details taken on arrival as a precaution so i know where I will be going again !!

Came here for a date night with my Husband, never eaten here before so thought we would give it a go! It did not disappoint. Portion sizes are huge, i couldn’t finish my salad! Staff are very friendly and attentive, really enjoyed our experience! Please don’t ever remove the Warm Goats Cheese Salad from your menu lol. It was delicious!!! Best salad i’ve ever tasted.

We were there on the hottest day of the year. The garden was very busy. Every single server was pleasant and accommodating despite the heavy workload and the hot weather. Particular thank you to the dedicated server, Jessie, who was kind enough to literally chase us up the road when we forgot our picnic blanket. Will definitely return!

first time of eating here, booked a table, would highly recommended to anyone, service was really good and the food was of a high standard, great value for money.

None of the staff were wearing masks or visors - very few of the customers also. They make a point of one-way system and sanitising hands but without masks all it takes is one asymptomatic staff member.No mention of collecting contact details in case of problems.

Went this evening 18th August, food was exceptional and staff were exceptional to, they were very very busy but food quality was spot on and staff were top notch.

We popped here for some lunch and sat outside overlooking the sea, they have a great system in place to accommodate pandemic and was distanced well! The food was beautiful had a Tuna Steak which was full of flavour and so refreshing! Would highly recommend this great place lovely staff and yummy food.

We ate here twice on our family holiday to Broadstairs, We knew before arrival that it was a reduced menu against their usual extensive menu, but the 2 vegetarians and 2 children with healthy appetites eating off the adult menu all found choices they really enjoyed. Perhaps another choice of veggie starter could be added as it was not really soup weather. We ate a variety from the menu from salads, steaks and chicken dishes and nothing could be faulted.The tables are 2 metres apart, the restaurant is well ventilated and the sanitising was very good, we felt safe and comfortable eating here. Yes they have the space to spread the tables apart but many other eateries could take a lesson from here.The staff were very friendly and efficient, my granddaughter had a very enjoyable birthday meal on our second visit.Thank you for the 2 enjoyable evenings.

Wow! I watched this pub serve and serve again. And how! A busy sea- side pub on the hottest day of the year this was a master- class for how pubs can turnover a highNumber of customers in a speedy, safe, clean and efficient manner and all with excellent customer service. They served outdoors and indoors and that young team of staff did not flag. I watched them ingeniously serve outdoors from a hatch/window and also serve indoors maintaining social distancing. At the end of the evening their (only)three female toilets were still clean with hand wash and sanitising gel and paper towels. Wow and wow again. Fantastic on steroids.

Had a family birthday dinner with 8 people in evening. Couldnt find a restaurant that would seat 8 so appreciated they did. Good friendly service, not crowded,and a good choice of food. Thankyou captain digby 🙂

Went for a meal yesterday evening & sat outside. Food took a whole hour to arrive. During the time we were waiting the weather turned a bit chilly and windy, so we moved from a table to one of the booths. This was still dirty as it hadn't been cleaned from the previous customers. When we arrived the staff were cleaning the tables, but appeared to stop as the evening went on.The plastic glasses they are serving all the drinks in also turned out to be a problem, as they blow over in the wind & you end up losing the last 1/3 of your drink!

Visited 2 days on the row following days at Joss Bay.The food and service was excellent on both occasions.Felt very comfortable with all of the measures and procedures put in place during Covid 19.Fantastic location with fabulous views of the beach below.Thoroughly recommend

I last came here three years ago, so obviously pre covid but thought I would come back with two friends. Very good reception from a young man in the main door. Well organised. Spaced out tables in the beer garden and probably one of the most beautiful views in the country looking across to a former convent. Very good service from a hatch and one of my friends ate lunch which looked great. All in all, a lovely two hours sitting in the sun with beer.

We love eating here. Just returned from a trip to the area during which we ate here twice. as ever the staff could not have been friendlier ; the service was brilliant and the menu whilst a little more limited than usual was nevetheless wide ranging enough to make decisions as to what to have difficult. The skill for us is that they cater equally well for young families and for the older generation and unlike other places in Broadstairs seem to have adapted to current conditions without losing their focus on delivering a good customer experience

Fine pub but bad customer service and management. Had an issue with my order, ended up out of pocket and with in friendly staff saying they can’t rectify it without me paying again because it would hurt their profit.Left unhappy after just trying to stop for a pint. A shame.

Staff not helpful at all, manager really don't care about costumer care... Never will be back... Thanks for 10 pounds charge for the 4 min parking..

Enjoyed a lovely family dinner soon after The Digby reopened after lockdown. They have implemented a one way system, there are less tables and the restaurant still has it's warm, clean, friendly feel, serving a slightly reduced menu however maintaining good food quality and experience just as before.

After not being able to eat our food at the Botany Bay it was great to then have some at the digby, from 1* to 5*. Service and food was great, food has always been good here over the years and it is a family favourite.

There was two of us for dinner, and it must be noted that in the current situation there is plenty of measures in place, such as multiple sanitiser stations which were pointed out to us as we were taken to our table by Hollie, which was very good. The food was very nice, lots of it too. The mushroom starter is nice, not too cheesy and a nice touch of chilli, the bread was also nice and soft too. Similarly the nachos also looked incredible. Our mains were just as good, we had the Cajun Chicken and the Garlic & Herb Chicken, firstly it is definitely worth the money! The chicken is nicely flavoured in both dishes and as are the mushrooms. The chips are also perfectly cooked and fluffy!Overall it was a very nice meal, and accompanied with excellent service, which was friendly and welcoming. Special mentions to Sam and Jasmin for this. Thank you!

We booked to go to the Digby as soon as they posted they would be open on the 4th July. The staff, food and atmosphere were excellent. Social distancing was in place and the staff did brilliantly with their new routines to make this possible. Well done to all

Have had a number meals at the Captain Digby over the years because it is generally a decent family restaurant but my latest visit was definitely mediocre.The service was OK but the meal, particularly mine, was below par. I had chosen the beer battered fish which the restaurant advertises as 'Our famous hand battered cod'. Well my wasn't. It looked and tasted as if it came straight out of a packet.Didn't help that a nearby table was loud, coarse and rowdy.Would think about going there again.

We all arrived in TCD ready to chew the breeze and fill the loins with supplementSeemed pretty busy and a good buzz around the placeGotta say I was bloody starving so time to chewObviously started on 30 seconds of darkness myself and JAThe ladies were on the wine and j2oOur other couple had already arrived and they were on the soft side on the drink frontStarters. Baked Camembert was my starter of choice with awesome slices of bread. It was humongous KA went for the soup and the reply was. Mmmmm that was niceJA ad the fish cakes. All goodBJ had the mushroom thingy whatshit . All goodR and P were happy wither starter. Soup and mushroom respectivelyNow the mainsI went with fish and chips. A bit oily, however it was okKA went with Scampi and chips.

It was large looking and the result rather disappointing R went with chicken salad option and the reply was happyP went the scampi and chips Result was positiveAll in all not a bad eveningOver and out

Very good chilled pub. Great service. Average food but service makes it a good family environment. Great soft play area

On a whim we decided to go out for lunch no problem just turning up the food was tasty and quick to arrive the view from the window lovely in summer drinks on the terrace would have extended our visit easy parking as well.

Food was well priced and great selection. Kids area with slides and ball pit is amazing (and indoor).

A good place to rendezvous with coastal path walkers. There is a well stocked bar and extensive menu including many light bites. I enjoyed soup of the day - carrot and coriander. The place is well equipped for younger families. Also sport on TV.

An otherwise nice well run place let down by their use of cheap and nasty Scampi supplies!

Eight of us met up for a family celebration.What a great place,fantastic food very attentive waiting staff and great views across the sea.We all eat different dishes and all food came out together all sides and nice and hot.Deserts were fantastic large portions.Although this place is over 200 miles away will certainly eat there again when visiting Kent.
