We visit here on a regular basis as the food,service, and value for money is always way above average. The staff and manager are always so polite and happy to see everyone. The standard of the food is always spot on and cooked to perfection with a good choice and specials board. Highly recommended. Great location with amazing views of the beech

My Wife & I visited yesterday (Sunday) for Lunch & we were extremely impressed with the whole Meal! Set Menu at £35 for four courses was very good value as all courses were very tasty, hot & well presented! Service was also excellent! Couldn't fault anything! Would definitely recommend & also return again soon!

We were visiting Broadstairs for the weekend and decided to try the Tartar Frigate restaurant after reading other reviews. They didn't disappoint. Staff were so attentive and friendly and went above and beyond to look after us. Food was delicious and worth every penny. Gorgeous place!

We’re afternoon drinking people. However! We popped in for a pint on a Friday evening and ended up staying for the whole night - there was live music from a group of 3 guitarists who were absolutely fabulous and got everyone joining in, but not so loud that you couldn’t still have a chat. Went back on a Saturday afternoon and ended up talking to a lovely local couple. Just really easy going, friendly, comfortable, cozy and doesn’t feel like one of those ‘big chain’ pubs!

The entire visit was a delight; the care taken by every member of staff to attend to every need and their faultless politeness was charming. The food was copious and extremely tasty and the drinks excellent. We were seated at a very comfortable spacious table near the window and left to take as long as we wished. The cost of the meal was much more realistic than we have encountered in many other places.

Had a great evening last Friday at the restaurant in Tartar Frigate. Firstly let me say that the staff are absolutely first class. Very attentive and helpful for me having food intolerances , went above and beyond to help me have a meal that I could manage. I would not hesitate in recommending this establishment. The food is just wonderful. Just superb. WIll be back next time in the area

First visit on Valentine's day, beautifully decorated, made to feel very welcome by our host. Plenty of room to manoeuvre passed tables. Food absolutely amazing, we had soup for starters, I had fish pie, partner had steak, cooked to perfection, a special dessert made by the chef for Valentine's day. Lovely ambience. The 2 young waitresses were fairly new but did an amazing job, we tipped them generously, listening around every diner had a lovely evening and worth every penny.

A warm welcome from two lovely ladies behind the bar. We came for a drink and decided to stay and have a snack! We chose a bowl of chips and a plate of whitebait. The chips were chunky and delicious but the whitebait was just divine!! Big, beautiful fish in a light batter. A great portion for the £10. The best we’ve ever tasted and it’s our go to snack if on the menu in pubs. Wonderful ambience. View of the sea. Lovely clientele and delicious food, beer and Prosecco. What more could you want for a birthday lunch out!!

Have been wanting to try the Tartre Friget for dinner for a long time. Last night we did. Sadly, shortly after we arrived the grill stopped working. These things happen and they were very apologetic. The grill was up and working around 20 minutes later. We ordered, the bread was lovely while we waited and the service was great. Prawn cocktail was good and oysters seemed okay. We also had a grilled prawn starter alongside the mains (whole sea bass). The prawns were very tough and the sea bass wasn’t great. The lemon posset and cheeseboard after dinner were amazing. Sadly, the next morning I woke with awful stomach pain and still suffering. I can only imagine it was the oysters or prawns. 😔 …and paid £200, for two of us, for the privilege. Won’t be returning.

Very nice meal in traditional surroundings. Friendly and efficient service. The only niggles were a salmon dish that said it was cooked with garlic, ginger and chilli. We were surprised that the garlic was whole cloves and the ginger was in big chunks. We had expected it to be minced. Also we thought £13.50 for a scallop starter that contained two scallops was a bit pricey. On a positive note the skate wings were enormous and beautifully cooked.

I’d happily have given 5 stars based on the food which was really great. I’ve deducted one star for speed of service. We arrived on time for lunch to an empty restaurant. It was 15 minutes after we sat down that the waiter took the drinks order and another 15 minutes before the drinks arrived - by which time we were on the point of leaving we were so frustrated. The other star deducted was because I was charged £12.50 when I booked the table. I understand why they do this because there are a lot of no- shows, but this amount should have been deducted from the bill and I didn’t notice til later that that hadn’t happened. I used the contact form on their website to ask about this and had a reply from Rebecca saying they would refund the money if I confirmed the card details which I did. Nearly a week later, no refund. So if you book, doublecheck your bill before you leave the restaurant.
