Fort Road Restaurant in Thanet

The Fort Rd Hotel hosted our wedding reception and really exceeded our expectations in every way.....we already knew the building itself would be a very stylish and beautiful space for our big day, but we could not have anticipated the warmth and excellent service from the staff team from start to finish! The food we already knew was excellent, but we did not anticipate it remaining so exceptional despite catering for the large number guests. The day went brilliantly, Fred and his team managed everything smoothly - even down to consoling our cake maker when our chocolate wedding cake had melted in her car! Hotel staff consoled her and she really appreciated their help and support. The day could honestly not have gone any better, we will remember the warmth and professionalism of the Fort Road for years to come and will come back....maybe for our anniversary! Anyone considering a Margate wedding? We thoroughly recommend this beautiful and friendly venue ❤️

Beautiful tapas in a cosy, relaxed setting. Service could not have been any better, our server provided great advice and had a laugh with us. Very good value for money. A must if you are visiting Margate.

Really lovely place to stay , the attention to detail in the room from the choice to tea bags to the incredibly comfortable bed made all the difference. Friendly and helpful staff and a very good breakfast of poached eggs and yogurt I’ll be trying to replicate at home .

We had a wonderful stay! Highly recommend. Even the Cosy rooms are very comfortable. Lovely bedding and decor, the staff are friendly and the restaurant offers lovely food. Location is perfect for the Turner Contemporary but also a great start walking into town so not to miss anything. I would definitely book again.

Gorgeous hotel and super friendly staff - so accommodating when I made a mistake with the booking. Amazing local art and detail in the room and the perfect spot outside for a sunny pint or cocktail. Also the best fry up of our lives. Thank you!

Smart but relaxed setting. Lovely location opposite the Turner Contemporary. Selection of Spanish / Mediterranean small plates, all full of flavour while still well-balanced. Interesting wines. Cocktails! Staff are considerate, welcoming and knowledgeable. Visitors down from London find it reasonably priced as a smart dining option. A fantastic addition to what Margate has to offer. Would love to come back to see what’s on the Specials board next time.

Very good high quality food My taglierini with anchovies and chilli was excellent As was the cheese platter Wines on the expensive side

We enjoyed our light evening meals at Colina. Food was of good quality, properly cooked, and nicely presented. It's a tapas-like menu, and as vegetarians we found enough to satisfy us. Wines were good. Unlike some other reviewers we didn't think it particularly expensive, and the setting was nice.

There are not many restaurants other the usual fish and chip and bar food establishments open on a Sunday in Margate. Colina looked promising being a modern tapas restaurant boasting a celebrity chef influences. We were the only diners for a late Sunday lunch. We ordered seven plates and a bottle of wine. The tapas dishes were all passable but lacked any real taste and were served all at once. There was nothing you could send back but also nothing exciting. The bill for two was £105 so not great value. I hope this review encourages them to up their game.

This is a fantastic hotel, perfectly located. The team made us feel incredibly welcome. Service was superb.

We took a Superior King with a sea view and saw the sun set behind a gleaming lighthouse from the bed, easily the comfiest I have slept in, plushly dressed in enveloping white. A truly beautiful bathroom, too, and a bay window almost deep enough to serve as a second room. We absolutely shall, and must, return.

Had a peaceful sat night stay here in Feb , easy check in , room was spotless , tasteful and comfortable . Hotel has friendly staff that are there if you need them but aren't in your face . It's got a great chilled vibe , some beautiful artwork and interesting books and blue tooth speaker in the room . We'd recommend and use again , thanks to the team for a pleasant stay , Scott and Carly x
