Taddy's Barn Tea Room in Thanet

What an amazing afternoon tea enjoyed with friends at Taddy’s barn! We were made to feel like we were the only customers - tea and coffee topped up continually - the quality of the food knocks all other establishments offering afternoon tea to the sideline. Thank you Lee and crew for a great time 👍🥰

Just had breakfast here, food is SO good, 11 items for £11 amazing value. All so tasty and great service, both young girls that were serving were really pleasent. Would definitely go back 😊

So I took my mum here a few weeks ago for a fabulous afternoon tea. The place was not that busy. I decided to take a friend here for lunch yesterday. It was so busy and I don’t think they had enough staff on. We were waiting over 45 minutes before we got served 😏. And I just helped myself to drinks😒. The young girl serving was MISERABLE. No customer service skills there. I know they were busy but not acceptable really. But lunch was great and after I asked for a cup of tea. That was forgotten about by the young girl. Surly you can smile. I totally understand you were busy but maybe a bit more training in customer service. If I acted like that then I would be pulled up on it. I think the food there is great but not sure if I’ll be back as customer service just not good.

We visited as I read a reveiw on here about how nice and pleasant the staff were and how nice the food was unfortunately this was not the case as per our visit..as the sarcastic reply to an enquiry about if they did an egg salad was met with a reply similar to..I am not paying for an egg just to make a salad or not boiling an egg just for salad ... A pleasant and polite reply would have sufficed...so we just had tea and left ... There was a Birthday party that seemed to be more important ! We would have made it regular visits had it been inviting and the cook or chef had been pleasant so..never again...we left feeling that politeness costs nothing..and we could have had lunch and spent 30 quid...so their loss...and a bad taste left in out mouths...

Writing this on behalf of my grandmother who visited with her friends for an afternoon tea. When she asked the staff for some plates, she was given quite an unkind and sarcastic response. Quite disappointing that the owner would speak to a group of elderly women in this way. She understood that it was busy and people get stressed but it’s not okay to speak to paying customers that way.

Great mug of tea, good service Lovely breakfast Will be back £11 for eleven items including a tea or coffee Or £8 for eight 👍👌🏻 Served piping hot

absolutely marvellous we had hot chocolate and cake,very nice cant wait to go again,very cheap and delicious

Had ploughman's lunch. Looked lovely, but the salad was slimy and obviously past its sell by date, was promised warm crusty bread and got 3 slim slices of cold baguette and worst of all no pickled onions, or any onions for that natter, except for a few dried onion flakes over the salad.

Very rude staff. We popped in to use the toilet before going round the garden centre and going back in for lunch. I was informed that the toilet was for café customers only and even when I said we were going round the garden centre and then back in apparently this is the cafe and that is the garden centre! Even though both were on the same sign. He said there was a toilet in the garden centre but I didn’t find it! Needless to say we purchased plants and had lunch elsewhere! Is this the way to get custom?

18 friends visited Taddy's Barn for a celebratory Crea Tea. The Barn itself is cosy, but a good size space, a little quirky, clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food (most importantly) was delicious, varied and plentiful. We all had a take home box! After everyone had eaten their fill! It was one of the best Cream Tea's I have been to and all under £19 per person! There were 4 people with dietary needs, including gluten free, and all were catered for. An excellent afternoon with an excellent not just Cream Tea but a High Tea, which I Highly recommend.

The most delicious cooked breakfast with my partner. Excellent quality ingredients, service with a smile, and all at a reasonable price.

We were served by a scruffy man with 2 packs of cigarettes sticking out of his shirt pocket. There was music playing quite loudly and it kept losing connection, so was jumping like a scratched record. When the food was delivered my friend’s scrambled eggs were spilled all over the table. This was cleared up by the scruffy waiter and there was an apology. We decided to carry on with our breakfast which turned out to be an inspired decision as it didn’t occur to the waiter that the ruined breakfast should be replaced! When we finally asked what was being done about the ruined breakfast, he said “I’ll get it replaced now” . DON’T BOTHER WAS OUR REPLY! This was at least 20 minutes after the event! I have never in my life experienced such terrible service!

Had the most wonderful afternoon tea for my birthday. There was 8 of us and food was absolutely delicious and so much of it. Lee and his staff were brilliant and could not have done more to make my birthday special. There was so much food we took plenty home with us. If anyone is wondering where to go for afternoon tea I would highly recommend Taddy’s Barn.

Fabulous afternoon tea and plenty of it, we both took a goodie box home of leftovers, staff and service were exemplary

Best breakfast I have had for years, really great quality produce and lovely friendly welcoming owners

My fiancé and I visited Taddy’s Barn on my 50th birthday - although the gate and car park looked underwhelming everything changed when we entered the barn. It was warm and inviting with an eclectic mix of decor. The log burner was fired up and we chose to sit on the comfy sofa facing it as the day was a little grey and chilly. We had a wonderful welcome from the manager and ordered afternoon tea. Having had afternoon tea many times including at top restaurants we were really impressed by the presentation and content - quiche, sausage rolls, sandwiches, scones and cake! All with generous portions that would have fed four not just two. Both the food and surroundings were wonderful and the manager packed the leftovers up in doggy bags for us to take home (which fed a hungry teenager for snacks and a hearty lunch for me the following day!). Fabulous food in a lovely barn, great chats with the manager who clearly loves his work and excellent value for money.

Have lived 5 minutes walk from taddy's for 26 years and never been in! Went 2 weeks ago and have since been back 2 more times. Lovely food, especially the tuna sandwiches and scrumdiddlyumptious cakes.. have since recommended to 2 people who went and loved it. Very old school.. not your sourdough and mung bean brigade 😄 good wholesome food which is very reasonably priced. Will definitely keep going... infact.. I'm thinking about it again now🤗

Taddy’s Tea Rooms has really grown since its new owner and cook Lee, took over. Nothing is ever too much trouble. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. Taddy’s has a homely feel to the whole place. I was driving Easter Sunday, when Lee rang me (hands-free) to advise I'd won a prize in his Pilgrim's Hospice charity Easter raffle. We'd actually been looking for somewhere to go, everything being closed. Quite by chance, I asked whether he was open, and surprisingly he was. Where else were we going to go? The tea-rooms had two larger groups in situ, one a lovely 86th birthday high tea. That looked smashing. Plus, several couples inside, and outside under the parasol-shaded benches too. I choose tea, as usual, from Lee's beautiful new blue and white teapot. Super. Enough to fill at least three to four mugs. My husband had the lovely tiffin, while I chose the new almond and orange cookie. At fifty pence, how could I go wrong? It was so good I went back for seconds. This is fast becoming my go-to place. To succeed, in my opinion, an eating establishment, needs great customer care, great food and great amenities. Taddy's has these in spades, and has the ability to become one of the most prominent quality tea-rooms in Thanet.

Poor food & Drink, rude & Smelly owner/manager We were Disgusted & Appalled Bread stale, Drinks weren’t hot, The old Camp chap is Gross

Never visited before even though it just around the corner. Excellent food and friendly service. Very cosy interior but outside could do with a bit of sprucing up.

What a lovely little restaurant/tea room. Popped in for a Sunday lunch & dessert. Nice size portions, value for money and the service was excellent. I look forward to going back with some friends soon. Nice little stroll around the nursery after.

Sunday lunch was good as always. The roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese are soooo tasty. We really missed Sunday lunch during lockdown and so glad for us and the staff to be up and running again. Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff.

We had a fantastic afternoon tea. It was so tasty and so filling. The staff were lovely too . I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely breakfast,being a coeliac couldn't ask for better service and understanding, adapted the meal for my needs perfectly, looking forward to returning. One of the few places that replace food I can't eat rather than just taking it away

Due to covid restrictions we couldn't go out but my daughter ordered a take away afternoon tea from taddys barn. It was amazing, never seen so much food for one person. Lovely selection of sandwiches, quiches, sausage rolls, sliced cake, scones with cream and jam...

Sunday Roast Dinner takeaway... absolutely lovely.. portion size was really good... price of £11 also came with a desert which again was just wonderful. Would highly recommend x

We came to Taddy’s for afternoon tea as a treat for my daughter’s birthday.Dan was absolutely amazing right from the start, he replied quickly to my Facebook messages and was able to offer sandwich fillings & cakes that suited my family’s needs. On the day we were delayed due to traffic but Dan was kind enough to wait for us and brought everything out fresh and warm. Afternoon tea consisted of a great selection of sandwiches, delicious home made sausage rolls and quiches, scones with plenty of jam & cream and a lovely victoria sponge and some bite size cake slices. The tea was plentiful and served in good sized pots.The young lad working at Taddy’s was polite and approachable - nothing was too much trouble, and our left overs was neatly packaged up for us to take home and enjoy later.Everyone had a lovely time and all agreed the food was great. We will be returning again very soon.

They have recently put a sofa and easy chairs in front of the log fire as well as the usual table and chairs. Just the spot after a walk with the dog, a nice coffee in front of the fire to warm up.

Lovely tea room, friendly and efficient staff. The latte was a generous size with a lovely biscotti and good value for money. I only had a drink but the cakes looked amazing. The toilets are definitely the cleanest public toilets I've used recently and well stocked with wipes and nappy bags for anyone with a baby.I will definitely be back soon to sample the menu.

Dan took over the business in the summer & his afternoon tea is to die for! A lovely, clean, welcoming place to have anything form a cup of tea, to a three course Sunday lunch.All the food is freshly prepared & of amazing quality.

Sunday lunch is very good, nice atmosphere and still nice roast potatoes, would recommend booking in advance

We popped in for lunch and it’s a little hidden gem. The food was amazing. So often I go out for lunch and end up disappointed with a mediocre meal that I could have made better at home. The food here was utterly delicious and they had a wide selection to choose from. Will definitely be back to try the afternoon tea and the roast. Excellent food and excellent service

So glad we happened to stop at Taddy’s Barn. The sandwiches were generous, and nicely presented. Vegetarian friendly. I had a really nice salad that came with a lovely skewer of chicken. The chef was extremely accommodating to my allergies. Altogether a lovely experience. I would very much recommend.

Staff pleasant and cheerful, the roast dinner on Sunday is so good the veg is just right can recommend the cauliflower cheese and the highlight are the roast potatoes

Lovely home made Sunday dinner, proper roast potatoes and all the trimmings, they cater for vegetarians as well. Really friendly service, not too expensive, book in advance though

Food good could of been hotter but nonetheless it was a pleasant atmosphere and the service was good will go again

Went to Taddy’s Barn Tea Room today for lunch, it’s such a spacious, clean and light place, with plenty of seating. The food was lovely and great adequate portions.

Op een koude regendag heel lief ontvangen door bescheiden gastvrouw in omgebouwde schuur. Eenvoudige tearoom met genoeg keus voor een smakelijke lunch. Eerlijke prijzen. Gevarieerd publiek. Zalige houtkachel. In alle opzichten een warm welkom.

On the menu is egg on toast, english breakfast items etc. For lunch it's egg mayo, tuna mayo or cheese/ham in a sandwich, baguette or jacket potato. Omlette is an option too. That's most of what you'll see on the menu, which is fine of course if you enjoy such food. For myself I found the food to be poor quality. Cheap, tasteless supermarket square bread. Cheap tasteless side salad. I had a tomato cut up for my baby with me, brought from home, and it tasted fifty times better than the tomato served up at this establishment. I think the food needs to be sourced from elsewhere at a better quality, and more options are needed on the menu.

We dropped in for breakfast having never been before. The barn is super clean, and the service is excellent. We had the full breakfast, and wasn't disappointed. The food is lovely, cooked very fresh, and steaming hot. Just lovely.

We were a party of 12 for a full afternoon tea and it was delicious. We had a variety of sandwiches on both brown and white bread, a huge variety of cakes, all very tasty and lovely scones with butter, cream and jam. A plentiful supply of tea and coffee and very friendly staff. Everyone loved it.

A lovely find. We enjoyed jacket potatoes and the special, beef stew. Everything was fresh, well cooked and nicely presented. Service was great.

A delightfully laid out, traditional tea room. Lovely and airy on a warm summer's day. Booking essential for Sunday lunch, a choice of two roast meats and a vegetarian option (nut roast) at a very reasonable price with kid's size meal also available. Small selection of excellent deserts - the hot chocolate fudge cake was delicious. Quite busy with all tables occupied but quick, efficient and friendly service. Will definitely be returning.

A wonderful cream tea..had a voucher for high tea at Wyvales..did not compare! Taddys cream tea is always fresh and served with beautiful homemade cakes. Tea room is immaculate,clean and outstanding service. Have booked for Father's Day..I will even get a phone call to ask about sandwich fillings etc. It will be my granddaughter's first cream tea...her father and grandfather are in for a treat too!

I love Taddys! My mother in law first found this hidden gem and took me and my 3 & 4 year old for lunch. Straight away we were welcomed by the lovely staff. My girls was given colouring, gluing and sticking to keep themselves amused whilst the grown up had coffee and food. There was glitter and craft stuff everywhere and no once did the staff complain. Even refused to let me clear up after my girls. This is a brilliant place to come with the kids. So warm and welcoming, and they interact with the children as well as the adults. Think the adults have more fun with the craft stuff. Food wise is great, they cater for gluten free which made my visits easier, great prices. Can't wait to go back with the kids knowing I don't have to worry or stress that my kids will get bored or be moaned at for being kids and having fun.

What a delightful find on a winters day drive. Has only been run by a local beekeeper since September 2015. Wonderful simple menu of freshly cooked British favorites, including soups, lunches, brunches, sandwiches, cream teas, and a large selection of homemade cakes and scones. It was excellent value for money, with delicious food. Staff were amazing and even provided a selection of art and craft materials to amuse the youngsters. Will definitely be visiting again, and hope this friendly local gem flourishes.

I bought a birthday cake for my husband this week from Taddys barn tea room. With very short notice they prepared a delicious Victoria sponge cake with fresh cream and jam. The price was so reasonable and when I collected the cake I was pleased with the appearance and size. It's a lovely place, reasonably priced and delicious food. Great service always and just perfect for a weekend treat.

Two of us called in to Taddy's Barn this afternoon to see some paintings by a local artist on display. Since we hadn't long had lunch we ordered just one cream tea with an extra tea. It was huge! Lovely scones (two) with butter, jam and proper clotted cream, and the tea pot was so big we lost count of how many cups of tea we each had, and that was without topping it up with the extra pot of boiled water. Service good by a team of adults with learning difficulties. Will definitely go back, and will recommend it to friends and family.

Today was the first time I have visited Taddy's Barn Tea Room. Excellent value for good food, really well presented, good service. I will be returning. I congratulate them for what they are doing for the community.

First impressions weren't good. The Tea Rooms look quite run down and shabby. But it seems popular with its target market of old dears.

Lovely afternoon tea for my friends mums 60th Birthday the food was very enjoyable great experience.

Despite being only a 10 minute walk from our goose for the past 5 years, we paid our first visit to Taddy's tea room and were very pleasantly surprised.

Visited here for this week for the second time, lovely and warm, very cosy, clean. Staff very helpful. A small but very adequate Menu, all food freshly prepared, service very good. I will continue to use this venue.

I had been here once before with friends, for lunch, but went today to meet a friend for coffee. We decided we would have something to eat as well. There is a nice choice of snacks, such as jacket potatoes with a choice of fillings, soup, things on toast, such as cheese, beans, egg, etc. or scones and cakes and a nice selection of hot or cold (soft) drinks.

Such a wonderful find. Lovely tea, friendly staff and a very reasonable price. We will be back. Thank you so much.

I was introduced to Taddy's whilst I was pregnant and went for cream tea. I expected the same old cream tea you get everywhere else, however on arrival I found a lovely tea room with local art displayed and a team of polite helpful staff. The cream tea was the best I have ever had, not only was it enormous with 2 large fresh scones, it came with butter, clotted cream an assortment of jams and an endless supply of tea. The staff were so attentive, the toilet facilities were clean and wheelchair accessible, plus on a return visit they were more than happy for me to breast feed. One of my truly favourite places to go and I highly recommend it.

After a long walk with our little dog we decided to take a chance and stop off at Taddy's Tea Room for a much needed cup of tea, we did wonder if we'd be allowed in with Martha( the dog), but there was no problem, she was made very welcome, we ordered tea for two with a scone and jam and some shortbread biscuits, well what a treat, huge pot of very good quality tea, lovely home made scone and super shortbread, couldn't ask for more and the price was very reasonable in fact cheap if you compare to some of the Coffee shop around!
