Corby's Tea Rooms in Thanet

Really lovely tea rooms with a great atmosphere. Plenty of freshly baked cakes and snacks to choose from.

I went here with my boyfriend for a luxury high tea as a treat and we weren’t disappointed. Great value for money, staff were attentive but they also left us to it and the food was lovely (particularly lovely scones)! Would definitely visit again, thank you so much!

It's a shame as the food is lovely. We had the ploughman's and it was so good, but the staff were very short and abrupt. The older lady and man in particular. Though they were nice enough to some of the other, older customers. Maybe I'll come back when I'm 60+ and get the level of service any paying customers deserves?

Popped in today with friends and we had 3 cream teas. We were served by a friendly waitress and the teas arrived swiftly. When the Scones arrived the pots of cream ( one each) were only half full ( approx a teaspoon), so we asked for another pot of cream each. The Scones were large and delicious as was the tea. When we went to pay, our bill was larger than expected. 3 x cream teas @ £7 each = £21, we expected to pay a little extra for our extra pots of cream but not the £7.50 that was on said bill. When we queried this with the waitress she said it was for the extra cream, and looked to a male colleague who shrugged his shoulders and said its due to rising costs and that was the price of things these days and then turned his back. He was very brusque and dismissive and the poor waitress just looked at us embarrassed. We should have been made aware that 3 tiny pots of cream would cost more than one extra complete cream tea. In summary.... the scone was delicious but the cream was dearer than liquid gold. We will not visit again.

Just had a lovely lunch here, tea, freshly made sandwiches and huge fruit scone with butter, clotted cream and jam - all for £8.50! Scone was very light and plenty of jam and cream - yummy! Very reasonably priced! Friendly, attentive staff. Couldn’t fault anything, great value for money.

Found thus little traditional tea room while walking round Ramsgate. Really good menu choices including full meals and afternoon tea. Went for the homemade cheese scone and fresh filtered coffee. Really nice although for me could be a bit more cheese in the scone but that's a personnel thing. Definitely recommend lfor something different

Delicious breakfast with my husband &l grandson Made very welcome Very attentive and friendly staff Home cooked food ⭐️ Definitely worth a visit

We could not have asked for a better experience, mums first cream tea for her birthday, and it was absolutely delicious. We were searching for a really nice quaint tea rooms and stumbled across this place on the internet. We all left full, satisfied and will defiantly be going back :) Staff we’re so friendly, food was delicious xx

This Tea room is a gem. We have been visiting for quite a while now . For us it's a place to have a nice peaceful lunch or cuppa away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are always so nice and go out of their way to be helpful. It's something that we both look forward to during the week. Thanks !

We were really looking forward to visiting Corby's, but were left very disappointed. We ordered lasagne and a baguette, which were good (though not outstanding), but when I went over to order cakes I was told that this was not possible as the restaurant closes at 3:00. When I pointed out that it was still only 2:40 I just got a shrug; there was not a hint of apology. Incidentally, the Corby's website claim they are currently operating a summer schedule, which should mean they close at 4:00. But in any case, to refuse to serve customers who are already seated and twenty minutes (at least) before closing time is pretty shabby service. As we were stepping out (2:50), they put the closed sign up. Fortunately Ramsgate has plenty of other good options.

Great service. Lovely staff and the food was fresh and delicious. My girlfriend says the scones were the best she's had in a long time.

We came for coffee/tea and cakes and have often done so before today All were excellent served with humour and generosity. The cherry and coconut cake was particularly good

What wonderful tea rooms this are. Everything is just perfect. As soon as you go in you are transported back to a time when service was service and care and friendliness was the norm. You are not just in Ramsgate but as you look at the fantastic original wall murals of old Ramsgate by Steven Beach you are reminded of the style and grandeur of Victorian England. The tasteful selection of quiet background music reminds us of the 60’s 70’s, and the amazing collection of teapots and the High Tea Paraphinalia compliment the the ambience of this unique establishment. The food is excellent value with a varied traditional and modern menu, freshly cooked by your friendly hosts Sue and Paul, with a variety of cakes to compliment a special High Tea or a spur of the moment temptation. If that was not enough Paul is a top barista who makes great coffees on a proper traditional espresso machine, using top quality coffee beans, not one of these modern electronic push button ones! This family run business is a must to support these days! Don’t walk on by, give Corby’s a try!

The best in Ramsgate by far . But not all perfect. A lovely sunny Monday morning ,my wife and i fancied a cuppa n cake . We hurriedly walked past quite a few cafes with the people lounging about smoking and hugging empty cups (this is most places these days ,unfortunately ) We have seen the traditional Corby's, but never ventured in . Offered a nice seat in the window . The uniformed waitress took our order of lattes . But when enquired as to which cake selection ? She stated she cant remember , then promptly did an about turn and looked over toward the counter and rattled off about six varieties which we only heard two . Coffee n Walnut , Apple pie. which was lucky because we would have chosen them . Both were delicious and fresh and good portions .Suggest an Ade memoire or a menu , or at least try to remember . Toilets clean but table a little sticky . Light bites available also ,shall return one day. ( with cash only option )

Simple and lovely food, with some vegan options available as well. Friendly service too. My son insists we should return tomorrow!

Exceptional staff, very nice atmosphere and food lovely. Had the cream tea which was great and the staff listened to our needs as had to change certain things. Will be visiting again soon.

I had been looking forward to visiting here for a long time but was severely let down today by the rude service before barely getting a foot over the door. While standing waiting to be acknowledged eventually a male member of staff looked at me...

Paul and the team at Corey's made my mums surprise afternoon tea the best, we couldn't have asked for more. They are so kind the helpful. To the point of packing one so I could take it away as somebody couldn't make it a late minute. 10 out of 10.

the food was excellent , the coffee was fantastic and the service was very lovely, would highly recommend!

Came here with my partner for lunch.Café was very clean with pleasant decor. We were quickly shown to our table by a very attentive waitress.I ordered the brie and avocado baguette (and was given a choice of bread) and it was delicious. The coffee was nice too. There was a surprisingly large variety of menu items for a small, independent tea room.Will definitely make a habit of visiting

This lovely popular tearoom found us horrified by allowing customers to enter from the door at the rear, pushing unmasked past our table to get to tables at the front of the shop, at one point we were asked to move by a customer so they could pass by with a walking frame. My friend had to leave the chair she was sitting on and push in close to the table to accommodate this request. They were not the only customers who passed extremely close to use having entered by this door. The staff were good at telling people to put masks on rightly so, but should keep the rear access closed.

LOVELY staff, so helpful in keeping food warm for friends who were delayed, yummy full English and the world’s biggest hot chocolate 💕

Had a very tasty full English breakfast arrived at the table very quickly,served by a professional and friendly Irish lady, breakfast for 2 with drinks £15 good value

We had breakfast here one morning it's a very nice picturesque tea room, but the breakfasts let it down. The ingredients was poor, tinned mushrooms and very poor quality sausages, I wasnt given a choice of egg only scrambled.

After visiting the Ramsgate Tunnels, we stopped here for a drink and cake. Good range of teas etc and some lovely cakes. Plenty of well spaced table with hand sanitiser readily available, both inside and in the rear shared courtyard. We were served promptly and drinks and cake arrived within a few minutes. Cakes were of a good portion and moist and tasty.

Me and my wife visited this place twice recently & had plenty of food and drinks on both occasions. All of which tasted great and presented well, good work from the chef.We have been coming here for a few years now and will continue to do so, even with the new owners .The normal great service received from Kane but also a special mention to Rachel, she is so friendly, polite and smiley, it was a pleasure being served from her, thank you so much, keep up the good work.I have no problem whatsoever in recommending this place.

Visited this amazing place many times after moving to Kent last year.Reminds me of the old fashioned tea rooms I used to love visiting as a kid.Great food with generous portions, friendly staff and a happy relaxed atmosphere makes it a must visit place.Can't wait to visit again

We've just spent a few days in Ramsgate and found this little gem on our first day there and had at least on meal there every day of our stay. The home cooked food is delicious, and comes in generous portions at very reasonable prices. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. My son also claims they have the best hot chocolate in the world!

The staff were super friendly but the food was disappointing. We ordered cream tea but it wasn’t the best. The cheese sandwich was plain just full of grated cheese not much flavour. The scone didn’t taste homemade so it was a bit stale. We were starving otherwise would’ve gone elsewhere.

We visit as a family or on our own most days and have never had a bad experience.All the staff are so kind and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.The food and variety is excellent well cooked and presented.We were literally counting down the days for Corbys to reopen after lockdown and so pleased that the business continues to thrive after the uncertainty.It is really important to support all the small independent businesses we can't do without them.Thanks so much to you all..

Don't have breakfast here, sausages tasted ancient and chewy like vegan or something. Scrambled eggs are usual tasteless blanket like chain restaurants. Mushrooms also miserable little chopped up pieces that tasted old.Waited an age for plate to be cleared and just got totally ignored.

This was my first visit to this tea room (in fact it was my first visit to any eating establishment in Ramsgate!). I was very impressed it is spotlessly clean/has a very wide and healthy range of menu items - and the service is first class!

Lovely breakfast. Well cooked and presented. Very friendly. Staff happy to chat or will respect your privacy.

Set back from the hustle and bustle of Main Street Ramsgate is the beautiful little tea room. Always a warm welcome. Fantastic choice from the varied menu. Home made cake to tempt you too. Excellent prices and attentive service.

Haven’t been here for a couple of years. I forgot how lovely it is. Staff are lovely and efficient. Tea is served in a pot with China cup and saucer. We had a lovely smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich which was lovely and fresh and served with a little side salad garnish. All very quaint with the little doilies! Lovely place

This is a lovely Tea Rooms, a varied menu with light bites, sandwiches, paninis and cooked food. It was fresh, I had a chicken sandwich which was really tasty served with a little salad on the plate. The Tea was served in a pot with milk jug and beautiful bone china cup and saucer. The toilets are clean and well stocked. A very pleasant visit. I will return.

A very warm welcome and superb service. Breakfast was just perfect. Followed by really tasty homemade cake. Our drinks were hot and the latte with caramel syrup was amazing. Would definitely recommend, thank you Paul and Sue! 👍🏻

Came here as very close to the Harbour and has a lovely old timey feel without feeling dated. Was made a gorgeous Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, don’t know how many the man had made previously but it was great and I made sure to tell him, friends had toasties which they all seemed to enjoy.Sat outside in the sun, if you get the right time of day it is truly beautiful, just avoid feeding the seagulls.Staff are as lovely as ever and I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Lovely tea rooms, comfortable atmosphere with old fashioned crockery. I have been visiting for years, friendly staff and quick service. Called in for tea and lemon sponge cake which was delicious. Would definitely recommend, and will be visiting again.

Traditional Tea Rooms in Ramsgate,serving both savoury and sweet fare. We had three cakes,diet coke,two coffees and a tea. i found the cakes a bit too sweet,but that is personal taste,the quality was good,value reasonable,service good,comfort acceptable.

Call in today for a snack lunch, we both had jacket potatoes which were large to say the least with filling absolutely covering them. Comfortable surroundings made the visit perfect for us.

Amazing scones and very welcoming friendly staff! Would defently come aging if I came back to Ramsgate

This lovely Tea room caters for all tastes. Located right off the harbour. Warm welcome from the owners. Nice looking tables and chairs. Menus to suit all tastes at reasonable prices. Food served with garnish to add style. Good place and we would recommend it.

We went in on a recent long weekend in Kent. Decided to order one of their high teas in advance, and were not disappointed.

Really lovely cafe with nice food and great service. Only takes cash. Relaxing interior and inexpensive prices.

£25 for their high tea was one of the most expensive I have ever paid. The food was of good quality and too much for us to eat. Having said that, there was barely enough clotted cream and jam to cover my scone, it had to be carefully arranged. They weren't that busy, but felt slightly forgotten about. It was generally ok, but very overpriced which was a shame.

We Googled 'afternoon tea nearby' and this little gem came up!

Called in here with some very posh friends (!) on a grey and rainy summer’s afternoon. It was such a treat and really brightened the day.

Always a lovely welcome and the atmosphere is so friendly. The food is so fresh and the service is great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff.

Went to Corbys Tea Rooms for lunch with my family whilst visiting Ramsgate. Food and service was excellent, really enjoyed our experience there. Staff are really friendly and attentive, homemade cakes were superb. Thoroughly recommend this Tea room which has a great atmosphere, so glad we visited.

This is a delightful tea room with friendly staff delicious selection of cakes and china cups and saucers with paper doilies. Absolutely charming. Our waiter Cain (Kane?) was really lovely. On a wet afternoon it was a little oasis of calm. Thank you.

Great little tea rooms, which is actually bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Great menu and really nice friendly staff, our food and drinks came out very quickly and all of it was excellent, will pop in again when passing.

Found this tea rooms by chance as it is up a side road off of the Main Street but very pleased that we did great atmosphere and a proper old English tea room I had a ploughman’s that was of very good quality and my wife had a coronation chicken baguette also excellent quality the staff are very friendly and welcoming with excellent service great variety of cakes also.

It looked nice from the outside, so we popped in. The selection of cakes is to die for, so My wife and I ordered two plus a pot of tea and a sandwich to share. The waiter was young but extremely friendly and very attentive. Everything was beautifully presented and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the decor. A really nice tea room with outstanding service. Highly recommended.

Popped in as I was in need of a coffee and a breakfast snack.

If you love home made cakes you need to try the cakes here and the carrot cake is to die for and always buy a slice to take away.

A beautiful little tea room, quaint and friendly, reasonably priced with a lovely cream tea. Please visit, wonderful service, gorgeous food. A traditional English tea room and well worth a stop by.

This place is a gem, absolutely gorgeous. We ordered three high teas (booked 24 hours in advance). The scones were fresher than fresh, finger sandwiches delicious, lovely little cakes and unlimited tea or coffee - good quality strong tea. Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked mouth-wateringly delicious. Portion size was substantial. The rooms were airy, comfortable and spacious. Prices were very reasonable. A must-do, and we look forward to going back again soon.

Visited Corby’s over the bank holiday for breakfast with friends, two of us local and two visiting. Conscious that it has now changed hands we thought we would give it a try and we were not disappointed. The smoked salmon and scrambled egg was delightful and the sausage and bacon on the full English were tasty and good quality. There is no choice of egg just scrambled but it was delicious. Lovely generous portions of doorstop toast were provided. Staff and the new owner were very friendly and accommodating. We wish them luck in the venture and will definitely be back.

We went there for coffee and after went back for lunch very reasonable prices and very nice staff, we will go back there again when we visit ramsgate again

Went yesterday, with a friend, very busy but managed to get a seat. We both had sandwiches, made from nice fresh bread, plenty of filling and a small salad garnish. Staff very pleasant and certainly will go again!

After a short walk from the harbour, l discovered this tea room. The tea room has nice surrounding, the staff are friendly and they had good selection of cakes etc.. I would recommend the cream tea here.

A visit from my parents was made special by a visit to this lovely cosy place, we had tea and cake - and the Kentish Apple was simply incredible. I'll definitely be returning to try more, thank you!

We had a short break in Broadstairs after our wedding and visited Ramsgate for the day.

OK basic, quick and reasonable value. Cheese Ploughman's with salad ordered, why coleslaw which is not salad and not mentioned on the menu. I am not allergic but have an aversion to mayonnaise.

I was here with 3 friends for lunch and we had a very friendly welcome for a start. I had lasagne with salad and coleslaw, two of us had baked potatos and one had prawn sandwich. All meals were really nice and the service was very friendly. We would go back here for sure. The cakes looked good but we couldn't fit anything else in!

RUDE & RACIST MANAGEMENT!! First of all I would like to complement all the younger staff that were attentive and pleasant. The scones and tea was also very nice and light. Unfortunately the whole experience was ruined by the older man in the waist coat behind the counter. I took my father to the counter to show him the type of cakes on offer and the person who I assume was the manager I could tell took a disliking to us. Upon paying he served all customers in front and then refused to serve me until the younger staff was available. Then they didn’t have anought change for a £20 and had to wait while they found some, Then while waiting there he decided to say backhanded comments with a passive aggressive tone while making payment FOR NO REASON!!! I cannot explain the reason behind this other than our race. I hardly ever write review but this type of discrimination will not be tolerated.

We couldn't resist this place as it looked so quaint and old fashioned from the outside. This isn't the pretty vintage type cafe with dainty flowery teacups as is popular these days but it's a genuinely old fashioned looking place.

I always visit when I’m in Ramsgate. I really like this cosy tea room and its lovely staff and can highly recommend the tea cakes. There are lots of odd and interesting ornaments on display so there is always something to look at over a pot of tea. The menu is excellent with lots of old favourites.

Zmowilam tylko kawe, ciasko z kremem toffi , pyszne, obsluga wspaniala, lokal jak za dawnych czasow , ma swoj czar. Bardzo polecam, warto.

This is the second time we have visited the tea room, unfortunately it will be the last.

From the moment you walk in you feel instantly warm and relaxed. From the wood surroundings to the freshly baked good to the warm friendly staff. I recently visited with my mother as a birthday treat to visit ramsgate relatives. We loved it! This is a must visit for those wanting a delicious comfortable afternoon. We had second helpings! Never wanted to leave!

Good food. Friendly staff. A good place to eat when visiting Ramsgate. Home made cakes are very nice. A nice place to go with friends or family. Child friendly.

So friendly and welcoming. Food and atmosphere great. A must if you have visitors or as a lunch time treat. The quaint setting is still beautiful. Great gluten free options too!

En séjour linguistique à Broadstairs pour la 6° fois, nous sommes retournés avec grand plaisir chez Pat Corby pour un délicieux carrot cake....L'accueil est tout simplement excellent et le cadre tout à fait typique. Nous sommes repartis avec des cadeaux (une tasse victorienne pour moi et deux mini théières pour mes collègues et amis). En effet, Pat et son mari prennent leur retraite en janvier prochain mais le salon de thé sera repris dans le même esprit. Bonne retraite bien méritée!!!! et merci encore!!!

The staff are very friendly, the food is excellent and there is a lovely atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble

My mum and I come here every other week and the food is always amazing, the staff a very friendly and we are always made to feel very welcome. A lovely traditional tea room feel and lots of choice on the menu. Highly recommend!

Its the second time we have visited the tea rooms, as soon as you walk in they make you feel welcome,& within seconds they greet you,& make you feel special, we only went in for lunch ,but the menu is varied ,something for everyone, loved the little doilies on the cup & saucers we had for our pot of tea for two, great presentation even with their great scrummy sandwiches, quick service, nice friendly staff, very attentive ,will visit again.

when we come down to ramsgate love to have breakfast here the family who run it very warm and welcoming the food is made while you wait. we buy my mum carrot cake here as she said it one of the best she has tried.

My husband and I were visiting Ramsgate from South Carolina because it's the town where my grandmother grew up. Stopped into Corby's for afternoon tea and it was just lovely! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The tea and scones were absolutely delicious! It was such a cozy atmosphere and a such a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Had a nice chat with the owners before we left and they were so sweet. Highly recommend if you're looking for an authentic afternoon tea. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! Thank you all for such a lovely experience!

Together with a group of 22 people of mixed nationalities, I had the pleasure to have afternoon tea at Corby's Tea Rooms. The staff was very welcoming and accomodating concerning the dietary request we had. What we really enjoyed was the fact that Everything from the scones to the petits fours seemed to be home made. Very tasty! Overall a pleasant experience and we highly recommend Corby's Tea Rooms to anyone looking for a Lovely afternoon tea experience.

I used to live in nearby Broadstairs and visited Ramsgate regularly, so I was surprised that I didn't know Corby's Tea Rooms because it has apparently been in the town for 19 years.

We are regular visitors and have never been disappointed whether we are on our own or with friends and family... come to think of it we are always welcomed as if we are their family.The service choice and quality are second to none and the ambience is perfect.Everything is perfect and definitely our go to place couldn't ask for more.

Ate here but left slightly disappointed as it's more of a cafe than a tearoom. The outdoor seating area is a concrete thoroughfare & uninspiring and my fruit scone was lacking compared to some I've tasted as I prefer them crumbly to soft & doughy. It was reasonably priced but everything just seemed a bit tired - our printed menu was a bit tatty and unfortunately I don't

Entering Corbys is like stepping into your favourite pair of shoes. Everything about this place is right, from the delightful Pat and husband , to the delicious homemade cakes, savouries and scones to the delightful charm of a spot on English tea room.

We both went to Corby's tearooms, I had a beautiful ploughman's lunch & my husband had a Scone with Jam & Butter. Both of them were exquisite. I would highly recommend this

Used TripAdvisor to find this Tearoom.It had a good write up so not having been to Ramsgate before we thought we would choose this Tearoom to get a pot of tea and scones .Looks like a vintage tearoom from the outside but when you get in it is just another cafe .Wasn't really sure what kind of look they were going for .Ordered tea and homemade scones but these were more like shop bought .We had a cheese scone which had to be defrosted and was more like a bread bun ,very odd .When we went to pay a member of staff had just cut some cake and preceded to lick the knife in front of us which questions the hygiene standards .Cheap food but wouldn't return .

The breakfast is excellent. It is well cooked and presented and has quality ingredients. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the following day for a repeat. It was equally as good. The proprietor and staff are all very friendly and accommodating. We shall not go anywhere other than Corby's Tea Rooms.

Having searched on line for a tea room in ramsgate I called in advance. Pat Corby - the owner very kindly reserved us a table and they accepted our little dog. A wonderful atmosphere, great 50,s background music and very helpful friendly staff. The cream tea was lovely with a warm scone. Well worth a visit ! - thank you Pat - Sarah, Elizabeth and chummy

We chose Corby’s Tea Rooms for breakfast on a Wednesday morning and were delighted that we did. The hosts were lovely and their food was just what we wanted: tasty, plenty of it and well priced.

Fantastic! Lovely hosts and cake to die for, set in a most relaxing atmosphere. Corby's has become our new 'go to' place when we visit Ramsgate - Try it and you'll have to agree.

posto estremamente curato..sale dal fascino retro'..personale gentile..con il sorriso..una carrot cake strepitosa..la piu buona del thanet a mio modesto parere..ottimi anche i panini..alta qualita' di te'..davvero da consigliare..appena torno a ramsgate sara' tra le mie prime mete

We booked a large table for a post wedding celebratory tea.

Just returned home from a few days holiday in Ramsgate, so pleased that we found Corby’s on our first morning and popped in for breakfast.

Corby’s is an ideal place to sit and enjoy an excellently prepared snack away from the busy streets and the shopping

We arrived at 9:00 am for a typical breakfast so that my parents, which was the first time in the UK, could get a taste of British cuisine. The atmosphere of this establishment did not disappoint them. The decor, the boss and even the guests make the charm of this place. A classic breakfast, without originality but executed with care allowed us to start the day on a good foot.

Met friends for Morning Coffee. Excellent service, great choice of food. Highly recommend this coffee shop.

Holidaying in Ramsgate again this year for a few nights and we visited our favourite place for breakfast. Every day we went along and had a very friendly warm welcome from staff there. We both had mobility scooters this year and all of them at some stage very kindly helped us to manoeuvre them in so we had room to sit at the tables. The people are so obliging and helpful, its such a lovely place to eat. Thank you to all of them. Definitely worth a visit if in Ramsgate, its very close to the Travelodge, being literally a few feet away, dont miss it!

Back again in Ramsgate for a few days which means we can visit the best tearooms we've ever visited again. Whether it's a breakfast sarnie, glorious bacon and a wonderful tasty sausage in fresh thick cut bread, homemade bacon and mushroom quiche and salad for lunch or a giant homemade fruit scone with jam and clotted cream you won't be disappointed. As well as the wonderful food, the staff are lovely and you can choose to sit outside in a quiet courtyard or inside where you can find something interesting to look at among the hundreds of tea related items which line the walls. Situated just round the corner from the Travel lodge and opposite the harbour. If you visit Ramsgate you must visit Corbys.

We had a lovely trip here this afternoon. The scones were delicious - warm and melt-in-the-mouth soft - and there was enough jam and cream to give a generous topping. Service was good - friendly and helpful. This was the best cream tea of our trip to Kent and we have tried several.
