The Bay Tree Restaurant in Thanet

Great choice and perfectly cooked. With a view out to sea it's a perfect location. Saved the hassle of finding places to eat in town too, Would recommend eating in!

Stayed 4 nights and dined in once. Food is excellent and great choices for breakfast including kippers and eggs florentine. Very clean nicely furnished. Had great room with sea views and wet room with duo shower inc.rainforest shower. 5/6 minutes to town. Attentive staff and welcomed it.

Visited the Bay Tree for 3 nights. Very enjoyable stay with lovely room and great food. Bay Tree is just 5/6 minutes walk into the centre of Broadstairs. Easy to walk into Ramsgate along the beach at low tide. Margate is further but passes along some good beaches. Happy to recommend Bay Tree to all.

Variety of choice for hot breakfast, eggs benedict all different. Compote sublime. Even the toast was really goog

It was a birthday celebration and the Bay Tree accommodated us despite not usually opening that day. The result was a private dining experience making our birthday girl feel very special! Alastair was a brilliant host and Lee was outstanding in attention to service as well providing a perfect dinner. We can’t thank you both enough and cannot recommend to highly. Thank you very much indeed. Will definitely return.

I had a most lovely dinner at the Baytree Hotel restaurant before the dastardly coronamania situation reared it’s terrible head. We enjoyed a delicious cauliflower cheese with new potatoes, veggie nut-roast & salmon ceviche whilst my companion gazed longingly out to sea watching the waves before subtly whispering into my ear “Your sesquipedalianism is really obfuscating your pellucidity”. I must say it was the high point of our holiday to the wonderful Broadstairs (-: Delicious food. Recommended!

We ordered the ceviche and shepherds pie. Both were divine and arrived very promptly. Delivery guy very friendly. Would definitely recommend for top quality food in the area!

Dear Robert and all the Bay Tree team We took advantage of your Christmas delivery service and ordered Lunch for Christmas Day and your Boxing Day Box. What a BRILLIANT idea! Our meal was delivered exactly on the time we requested by a very pleasant chap, laden with all sorts of bags and boxes for us. The food we had yesterday was excellent- really beautifully prepared, the main course was HOT too. Today we enjoyed the cold cuts, cheeses, lovely home made chutneys etc- There was plenty for my Wife and I to eat and we ordered ‘For ONE person’ We have yet to finish all these goodies! So a BIG Thank You to you all for coming up with this great idea- saved having to think about and prepare quite a complicated meal- and hope you might do this again some time??? It made our Lockdown Christmas really enjoyable 🎅🏻🙂

My mother and I had a very relaxed breakfast at the Bay Tree today. The food was excellent ( more than enough portion size) and the staff were very pleasant and efficient. Lee, front of house, was very entertaining and knowledgeable in the history of Charles Dickens in Broadstairs. A very enjoyable experience and will look forward to an evening meal next time

The breakfasts were really tasty, filling and served with a smile - a nice range of choices too. I had a very tasty fish pie for dinner - thoroughly recommended- and the staff were so accommodating with different dietary requirements - which was so helpful.

Decided to come for breakfast as we were staying close by. It was a lovely breakfast but I was a bit disappointed at the lack of toast. We got one piece each - had to ask for another piece however only I got one - not my partner. Bread is hardly expensive- please be generous with the toast ! Otherwise all was lovely.

The food was amazing. The staff were prepared to cook things for us that were not on the menu, had a great roast lamb with wonderful roast potatoes love the Eton Mess

While staying at the hotel we had our breakfast and one evening meal in the restaurant. The breakfast room is well laid out and can easily accommodate guests socially distancing, if the weather is good there is also a terrace in the front of the hotel. A full English breakfast is cooked to order with juice, fruit and toast also on offer, and this is included in the room rate if you book directly with the hotel. We also ate here on our first evening, pre ordering our meal when we arrived, we both opted for the fish and chips which was excellent. There is a well-stocked bar at reasonable prices. Alistair and Robert were both very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.

Had lovely 3 course breakfast and two evening meals here at Bay Tree Hotel Restaurant. All beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely and clean and fully recommend. Delicious. Great refurb to an old Victorian building with lots of interesting décor to enjoy.

Celebrating our son's 21st birthday today in the garden due to covid19. Ordered afternoon tea for 4 people. Lovely sandwiches, freshly made scones (still warm) with cream and jam, cakes and trifles. Excellent value for money and very tasty. Would definitely order again.

Ordered by phone an afternoon tea for four to celebrate multiple socially distanced occasions.Communication prior to the date was excellent.Delivery was offered but I was happy to collect- Staff on collection were very friendly.Afternoon tea itself- out of this world. Choice of finger sandwiches, trifle, (huge) scones, cupcake and brownie.Excellent value for money would definitely recommend. Thank you so much.

We had an incredible lunch for 12 last summer for a special occasion (a bit late in writing this but better late than never!). We had drinks on the terrace first with the incredible view and then a first class meal in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. We had the 3 course meal with each member of the party having something different and everyone equally impressed (including the real foodies in the group!). Generous interesting and well presented delicious food with the friendly young chef coming to talk to us afterwards as a bonus. It really was faultless.

Had an amazing afternoon tea here today. Very generous portions. Beautiful hotel and looked so pretty for Christmas. Vlod was an amazing host. We will definitely be back With friends for dinner and an overnight stay.

Was ok, expensive unless you had a voucher. The scones were tasty but too flat to get the jam and cream in. The coffee was lovely

Had a fabulous lunch with friends. Service was excellent as was the food. Couldn’t fault it. Very friendly. Tempted to book just for an overnight stay as the hotel is also lovely. Would definitely return

We visited for a tasting menu associated with the local Food Festival. There had been a slight hiccup with some bookings but the extra guests were accommodated without a problem and the chef was able to deliver his excellent dishes to everyone. We were impressed by the high standard and will be back for more!

Part of the Food Festival, the hotel had a five course tasting menu with a flight of Kentish wines. The wines were excellent apart from a Westwell pinot noir which didn't quite hit the mark. Excellent Woodview sparkling to match a well thought out and presented menu. Finsihsed off with a Dockyard Rum and apple juice to accompany an excellt souffle.

I thought it was expensive for what it was. Dessert was disappointing. Not a lot of choice. The location is great but when we went it was empty - never a good sign

My daughter booked us an afternoon tea for our anniversary and it was fantastic. Plenty of food and the scones where amazing. Young gentleman who served us was very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Have now booked another one 🤗

We had a lovely dinner for my boyfriends birthday.The scallops and the rump of lamb were especially good.Very friendly staff and a relaxing environment. The sea view in front of the restaurant was a lovely bonus. We recently recommended eating here.

I visited The Bay Tree Hotel with a friend for an afternoon tea. Considering i was using a Wowcher offer I expected a lesser offering but this was definitely not the case. The staff were friendly and we were sat at the table by the window with a beautiful view of the sea. There was no one else there as we were there quite late in the afternoon but the place still had a nice atmosphere and the Harry Potter themed front room is fascinating. The afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches (lovely and fresh) and the biggest scones I think I have ever seen with a pot of jam and fresh clotted cream. There was also a little dish of Eton mess as well as a lovely cupcake. It’s always nice when they have decaf offerings as well as so many places don’t have decaf tea. It was all delicious and we both struggled to finish it all so took the cupcake home! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will certainly be looking to go back to experience one of the menu tasting evenings. The chef seems extremely passionate and was very friendly. Great afternoon tea and would highly recommend.

We came across this small Restaurant by chance as it is in a quiet are of Broadstairs, overlooking the North Sea.We received a warm welcome and were seated at a Table that provided a Sea View. We both ordered Fish Dishes, which when served were very well prepared and the food was very tasty. The Waiter serving us was very friendly and helpful.We would most certainly visit this Restaurant again when in the Area!

This was my first visit to this restaurant and was given a lovely small table overlooking the sea. Staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. There was a good range of dishes on the menu and food was very tasty and attractive. Was very pleased with the all round dining experience. There was a spcial price for two or three courses, and I felt that the whole experience was well worth the money. Would definitely use this restaurant again.

Having read positive publicity in a local magazine about this hotel we decided to book for a meal there on Bank Holiday Sunday. We arrived in good time and noticed there was only 1 couple in the restaurant. As nobody greeted us we wandered through into the reception area where one of the owners was sitting in his office. He suggested we might like to have a drink in the lounge first and so we ordered a bottle of rose which was brought to us by a young waitress who we believe hadn’t been trained. She placed the bottle and 2 glasses in front of us and left. The bottle was warm (it had been a scorching hot day) and still had its cork and wrapper in place! A corkscrew was nowhere to be seen.

The setting is lovely with sea views, beautiful decor and very friendly staff, would definitely go again. The tea was plentiful, and the cake gorgeous.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast with all the trimmings served with a smile and enthusiasm . Just like 'granny used to make ' but better! This chef really has what it takes!

A very interesting and limited menu with a lot of fish options. The chef opened the restaurant just for us and another lady ( staff sick) and we had a perfect and tasty time in his restaurant! The chef radiates his passion for food!

What a great experience! A chef who really care about your experience and the quality of food, from ingredients over cooking to seating and scenery. A restaurant that’s much more than that, but a real night out, enable by real passionate and competent chef and an amazing location and scenery! I’d go back just to have dinner here.

We visited on our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We sat outside overlooking the sea for a pre-dinner drink.

This is a fantastic place to eat. On arrival we were met by the owners Alistair and Robert who showed us into the sitting room where we chose our food. The owner chatted with us while our starters were prepared. During our meal we were looked after by Forbes who was very personable. This is a very intimate restaurant where the staff really care. This is shown by Vlod the chef coming round to see what we thought of the food. None of this seemed forced and every member of staff felt natural and easy. The food was amazing and was exceptional value. We will definitely be coming back.

Father's Day lunch. Everything was great. The carrots were honestly the best i've ever had. We were quite a large party, but all the food came out at the same time and hot. We had one guest with us who queried the fish and the chef himself came out to listen. There was nothing wrong with it however, it was just a part of the fish that she hadnt seen before.

Had the most amazing lunch, the fish was cooked perfectly! Go for the new potato and cabbage sides, you WON'T regret it!!

Excellent meal, Whitebait to start followed my Rump of Lamb. My wife had Pan Seared Cod which she said was perfectly cooked.

We did not stay in the hotel so cannot provide comment regarding the rooms but we did however have a first class meal provided by Chef Vlod and his colleagues. Although the restaurant was full and busy, the staff were attentive and provided excellent service. The food was of a high standard and served promptly. There were many local dinners that had returned to eat at this location and, those that we spoke to, seemed to be extremely satisfied with their food and service. Like many others we will be back to sample their locally sourced wares.

We had booked 3 nights B&B; at the Bay Tree and chose to eat in the restaurant on our first night. We had high expectations but they were not met. It was a Monday night and only one other couple was eating so the atmosphere wasn't great (no one's fault just a fact). However my complaint is with the food. My starter was asparagus with duck eggs (plural) and hollandaise sauce. I was told there were no duck eggs so it would be hen eggs. Not the same and there was only one. My "posh" fish and chips comprised two small pieces of cod which were barely warm (not the whole fillet I was expecting) and the "triple cooked" chips looked, well, "single cooked" as they were pale and not very crisp. It certainly wasn't the standard I was expecting. When I told one of the owners about the cold fish he seemed uninterested and just said "I'll tell the chef". I then heard him in the kitchen saying in a loud voice "No 7 table said her fish was cold". Nothing offered to put the situation right. Not at all professional especially for a boutique hotel that has a high opinion of itself. We did enjoy a very nice bottle of wine and my husband had a better meal experience as he enjoyed his starter and his fish was hot but, like me, felt it was overrated and overpriced and wouldn't recommend or return. I've done a separate review for the B&B;.

Delicious set price lunch, could not fault the food - starters and mains with really flavoursome sides. Window table overseeing the sea just added to the occasion with highly attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Excellent accomodation and very helpful and accomodating staff. Breakfast was perfect with a good choice. Evening meal from a limited menu but superbly cooked and presented.

fantastic roast and service just what we needed after our holiday a faultless meal i would very much recommend!

The restaurant was a delight. Food beautifully cooked and served. A limited selection which was good as pages and pages of a menu are boring. Wine was well priced.with a good selection. Could not fault the food and the Chef was a delight.

Bay Tree Hotel has been lovingly renovated by Alistair and Robert, it is situated in a quiet elevated position overlooking Stone Bay. The hotel is equipped with it's own car park at the rear of the property, bar, restaurant and is pet friendly. We stayed in room 3 (single with garden view) and room 7 (twin with partial sea view). The beds are comfy, the towels are fluffy and the room was spotlessly clean, breakfast was varied and plentiful. The centre of Broadstairs is approximately a 10 minute walk away where you will find an abundance of gift shops, pubs, cafes and eateries.

Had a very nice skate wing and my wife enjoyed the confit belly pork. Great location overlooking the sea. Will definitely visit again.

Went to the Bay Tree for Sunday lunch and really enjoyed it. Cheerful dining room with lovely views of the sea, very pleasant staff, and Floyd, who was 'front of house', was exceptional. Had roast lamb and it was beautifully presented with crunchy roast potatoes and fresh veg.

We were here to celebrate my partners birthday and I’m so glad that we chose this restaurant. It was a leap into the unknown so I was keeping my fingers crossed, and it was a very good choice. The restaurant had been very busy during the day and so starters were limited, we had the scotch eggs which would have not been our first choice but they would be next time, delicious with just the right consistency.

Excellent food both quality and imagination. Scotch egg as a starter was superb followed by fish and chips in proper batter.

We went for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed!

We stayed at the beautiful Bay Tree Hotel recently and ate at the restaurant on the first night. The service, food and surroundings were all perfect and we would not hesitate to recommend it. The beetroot gnocchi was interesting and delicious and leave room for the bread and butter pudding.

We four stayed at the Bay Tree Hotel for a couple of nights and decided to eat at their restaurant one evening. All our meals were absolutely first class. Why this restaurant is only rated by Tripadvisor at 19th is beyond me. It is way above the neighbouring restaurants - in fact it is in a different class altogether.

My daughter bought my a travel zoo voucher for lunch at this hotel, the hotel is in a lovely position looking out to sea on the Eastern Esplanade. Easy to find, plenty of free parking. The restaurant is quite small but comfortable the lunch menu does not have a huge number of options but what there is is very good and nicely prepared and served. The service was friendly and welcoming. If your in Broadstairs this is definitely worth a visit.

a lovely meal here today with a wonderful view over the sea. Lovely staff very helpful with menu choices. Food was beautifully prepared, definitely worth a visit

Locally sourced menu with quality ingredients cooked to perfection - hats off to chef !, all served quickly with friendly staff service. Would highly recommend.

It may be cold but the sun is shinning and nothing better than a Bay Tree muffin to start the day, looking over the bay. This hotel is very welcoming and has an up and coming chief who is receiving marvellous reviews

Excellent food, excellent service - thoroughly recommend! Attentive staff will definitely revisit.....5*****

While we were enjoying our pre-dinner drinks (the cranberry gin is to die for) the chef introduced himself and made recommendations. There were four of us and we all went for a Scotch Egg starter. A brilliant choice , beautifully presented, extremely tasty and the egg was just runny! I followed this with sea bass on a bed of samphire and crushed potatoes surrounded by freshly cooked mussels over which had been poured a delicious sauce. Definitely a winner. The rest of the party were full of praises about their dishes venison, fish and chips, beetroot gnocchi. All of these were accompanied by two bottles of an excellent Rioja. For desert there were two bread and butter puddings and two chocolate tarts. I can certainly recommend the bread and butter pudding! I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant plus if you were to visit during daylight hours you’d be afforded a beautiful view across the sea.

Fabulous afternoon tea at the Bay Tree Hotel in Broadstairs. Food was delicious, lovely setting and friendly, helpful staff.

I discovered this place via a travelzoo voucher so we were expecting it to be nice but not mind blowing. However, we were really pleasantly surprised. The venue was lovely, very welcoming decor, tastefully done but keeping the traditional touches. The menu was limited but I wanted everything.

Me and my partner both had the scallops, they were cooked really well aswell as being KING sized . For main I had the sea bass with mussels(sauce was Devine) and my partner had the venison, she’d never tried it before but absolutely loved it. For dessert we shared the cheeseboard with a lovely selection of Kentish cheese. service was great and lovely suggestions with accompanying wines. The chef came out to greet us and he seems very experienced yet still young. Will definitely return.

We had eaten here a couple of times and really enjoyed the food and service. We therefore decided to come back again as the venue for our wedding breakfast meal.

We visited this restaurant lunch time today to celebrate our wedding Anniversary with a Travel Zoo voucher. Well what a lovely place , we were greeted by the chef who during our time here was very informative and friendly. The food was excellent could not fault it . Well presented on the plate and tasted just as great . Would definitely visit again and perhaps stay the night even , we looked at one of the bedrooms and the view was fantastic. Price wise the meal was in keeping with the area . Decor in the downstairs rooms was to die for . There is a private collection on display of Harry Potter pictures for those interested.

A warm welcome from one of the owners and we were shown into a very pleasant ambient lounge overlooking the sea. The young highly trained chef brought us menus and talked us through them with all produce locally sourced. We ordered freshly bought Dover Sole as a main and whitebait for a starter. Both were delicious, excellently cooked and well presented. My only slight criticism is that vegetables (surely an integral part of a meal) were charged separately. The well priced wine list contained some local wines However the whole experience is well worth repeating and we shall certainly pay another visit.

we visited the restaurant for the first time on 18/1/19 for a special birthday meal, The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. The chef is very attentive and the food quality was brilliant with explanations being provided as to what the ingredients were. We both had the king scallops as a starter and they were beautifully cooked with great accompaniments. For mains I chose the venison and my partner the seabass fillets. Both were cooked to perfection and served with quality ingredients.

A surprise birthday dinner at this beautiful restaurant overlooking Stone Bay in Broadstairs. After drinks in the small but well decorated bar we enjoyed a fantastic meal.

We booked for a joint celebratory Birthday dinner for my Wife and our friend and her husband. The Bay Tree has a wonderful warmth of welcome: informal and charming. We had a drink from the widely stocked bar in the snug Library while our order was taken by their enthusiastic Chef who was on hand to suggest wines to accompany our meal. The menu is short but all locally sourced, in season and freshly cooked. The Owners are attentive and interesting to talk with about their detailed vision for their developing business and we wish them every success. They also have a rare, complete, collection of Harry Potter prints hung throughout the reception rooms- a must for any avid fan!

Lovely setting overlooking the sea. Nice decor, good service and very fine food. The waiter was charming and helpful.

Visited yesterday with friends for lunch. Parking available. Beautifully restored building. Food freshly cooked to order and of a high standard. Very flavoursome. Will definitely be returning.

Very high standard of cooking by young, well-trained and enthusiastic chef. Both the food and wine were reasonably priced.

Three rooms available to party for the event. Restaurant lounge and library. Food was excellent the staff helpful and friendly. Brilliant ambience with easy wheelchair access the perfect choice.

This recently refurbished sea front hotel is a real treat. Furnished to a high standard and beautifully maintained with fantastic attention to detail.

Booked a table for 4 + 1 (highchair provided and set up before arrival ). We had 2 whitebait and bread to share. I only really wanted the bread, id tried whitebait in the past but really didn't like it but thought id have a little try knowing that the other people in the party would definitely eat it. The whitebait is unbelievably delicious, i probably ate more of it than anyone else (much to my partners disappointment ) the bread is delicious too. I had the sirloin and i can honestly say I've never eaten anything more delicious than that! Out of this world. The chef (Vlod) is an amazing chef, so knowledgeable and seriously talented. Will definitely be going back

As old codgers when a whocher offer came up we decided to treat ourselves to afternoon tea. We were wowed with the beauty of the hotel and the dining room was sparkly and smart.

An interesting menu served with aplomb. Food was delicious and the English wine on the list was a revelation. My husband and I will be going back again very soon. The chef was more than willing to explain any unfamiliar ingredients.

First impressions are important and the Bay Tree looks very good indeed - obviously a lot of money has been spent on refurbishing this small hotel. We were welcomed by Vlod, the Bay Tree's Ukrainian chef and as the first diners of the evening he put us on his best window table.

We had lunch on Saturday using a Travelzoo voucher. There was only one other couple in the restaurant so lacked atmosphere. The waiter was clueless, pouring the wine into a very large glass right to the top and we were not offered to try it! Had to ask for wine cooler for the table. The food was very good, well presented and tasty. When the mail meal arrived our waiter asked if we wanted ketchup with it!!

Having read previous reviews we decided to give it a try. Turns out the chef is amazingly talented. We both went for fish starters and mains. The menu is varied with meat, fish and vegeterian dishes but the fish dishes sounded particularly nice. We were not disappointed. Our starters were scallops and whitebait. Both superb but the whitebait was in another league. Our main courses were hake with samphire and new potatoes. Don't think either of us had ever eaten fish cooked so beautifully. Without hesitation we will be returning and hopefully taking family and friends too. Also, last but not least, thank you so much to our waiter who made us very welcome and the service was perfect. Thank Bay Tree for a super evening.

The Bay Tree is the most relaxing and friendly place to go with if you are on your own or with friends. I was on my own and the staff made me feel so at ease when ordering (fantastic food) my dinner and a glass of wine and they gave me a lovely table by the window overlooking the bay. The Menu is amazing so many different tastes.

Visited for an evening meal on a stormy night. There's is some serious ambition for the cooking here and for the most past it succeeds.

We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the eclectic decor and seating arrangements in the front room as we drank our aperitifs.

My husband and I decided to have breakfast here after staying the night at this wonderful hotel by Stone Bay. We chose to sit near the window for the splendid sea view. We were pleased with the tasteful decor of the restaurant. We are both vegetarians and were well catered for. The polite waiter took our order and said we could help ourselves to cereals/juice etc. My husband chose cereals and I chose a fresh fruit salad with natural yoghurt. The cooked breakfast was delicious. We had chosen vegetarian sausages with mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and hash browns, The hash browns were the best I had ever tasted! All this was washed down with nice cups of herbal tea chosen from an extensive range on offer. We hope to come back soon!

We took advantage of the travelzoo offer for lunch two pensioners out for the day excellent food warm welcome looked at disabled facilities for a friend could not have wished for more will be back ! Next time for a holiday good luck you deserve it

Visited using a very reasonably priced Travelzoo voucher. To be honest it’s probably 3.5 stars so I’ve been generous with the marking. Our party had hake (delicious, highly recommend), lamb (delicious too) and 2 fish & chips. The latter were small portions which suited the diners but were not the large servings given to another table. Rather odd. I’m told the fish was lovely but the chips were hard. Deserts were ok but there was no wow factor. So a mixed bag. From an aesthetic point of view we found the presentation of the property to be excellent unlike other reviewers. Clearly someone has worked hard and spent a lot of money. Service was friendly but a bit haphazard. Would we go back? Maybe. 2 of us enjoyed it, 2 not so. Tried to be fair with this review.

Booked lunch for 1pm with a lovely sunny day ahead. Arrived but noone around to meet & greet us... Guy appeared with duster in hand! Didn’t seem to know what to do and admitted he had only just started. Sat in a room of mishmash chairs which we presumed was part of the hotel? Our expectations suddenly plummeted... taken to restaurant and sat wherever we wanted as there were no other people in there! Expectations plummeted even more... but...menu sounded good. Guy arrived to take order and we chose scallops ( with roe on as we asked for) then Hake and Confit Duck. Very nicely cooked, we enjoyed the food. Criticism is that we had nothing to nibble on whilst waiting for starter... no bread, breadsticks or olives... if we had bread it was chargeable! Chef came to talk to us and very pleasant person. Would we go back? No don’t think so.

An excellent Sunday Roast Dinner in a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the service was first class. Superb location right on the Seafront with un-restricted sea views.

I had never been to the Bay Tree before and did not know what to expect. It was like having Sunday lunch in my own dining room. This is a big positive as it made you feel at home. Floyd was front of house and was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I am a big fan of linen table cloths and proper napkins and the Bay Tree had both.

We decided to try this local hotel for Sunday lunch wow what a beautiful place & lunch, decor & staff are excellent I have not stayed here but judging by the rest of it I’m sure no one would be disappointed. I would definitely recommend A****

We stopped today for lunch after buying a £25 Travel Zoo 2 course Lunch for two on a whim whilst we were walking around Broadstairs.

I have no idea what it’s like to stay at the Bay Tree, however, I can tell you that there’s a new chef in the restaurant who really knows what he’s doing. Sunday Lunch included the crispiest roast potatoes, tender roast beef, melt in the mouth hispi cabbage and wonderful Yorkshire pudding. The cherry and basil soufflé was impossibly light with a crisp outside and a rich, deep taste. This is real cooking, made from scratch, freshly prepared with true passion.

One of if not the best roast dinner I've had in a long time. This hotel is beautifully renovated to a stylish but still warm and welcoming. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the chef Volodymyr Slobodyan is truly talented and I hate to say this but will surely be 'discovered ' and whisked away to greater things. Get in quick!

Dining experience, great experience overall great time the starter and dessert were excellent we all thought the rib eye steak were too thin @ £24-00 but give chef his due he came out and explained that the steak were 12oz(more 8oz when cooked)

We had breakfasts and dinners and the quality of the meals was superb. During our six-week holiday in Europe, I would rate our meals at the Bay Tree as highlights. The restuarant is beautifully decorated and the service was excellent.

Wasn't expecting this . Charming situation overlooking the sea from the cliffs . The restaurant is a part of the hotel which is bright and clean . The staff seem very pleasant and knowledgeable . The menu is a little on the small side but as it is new i think they are trying to do what they do do well . The food was lovely . We never had wine , just beer which was from a local brewery . If you are looking for somewhere new in Broadstairs I suggest you should give this a try . Would have given 5 stars but so new im sure they will get better ( not sure how )

Was staying at the hotel so decided to eat in the restaurant. The room is bright and colourful and looks straight out over Viking Bay. On the second night when the weather was better they had the doors open which was great. The food on both nights was excellent, but on the second night I said I wouldn’t have a pud and they asked my why. I said because nothing appealed. The chef asked me what I liked and I said cherries, and offered to make me a cherry soufflé then and there (not on the menu). What came was an absolutely perfect cherry souffle with a scoop of elderflower sorbet. Impressive. Breakfast was also excellent. One of the best places to eat in the town and very friendly.

Although we only had breakfast in the restaurant on each of the three mornings of our stay the choice and quality was second to none, situated overlooking the sea on a bright summers morning what more could you ask for!

Went in on Sunday for our 1.30pm booking for three of us. Young man appeared in hallway, we said we had booked, he checked, came back and asked if we would like drinks, (no drink menu offered) ordered 2 Pinot Grigio, and Slimline Tonic with Ice and a slice lemon in tall glass. We were shown into a lounge. A few moments later, he re-appeared....sorry run out, so re-ordered Chardonnay, which arrived a little while later, but Tonic water arrived later still in a wine glass, along with the Sunday Lunch Menu, which we ordered from. Two Tempura Veg, and a Scallops & Crab Panna cotta to start, two belly Pork, and a Lamb Tagine for Main. We were shown to a nice table in the Dining room, which had lovely sea views. The food was really tasty, (loved the home made bread), and well presented, although too large a portion, would have been nice to have veg in a separate dish, so could take what you wished. The Cointreau cheesecake was disappointing, and we were not charged for these. Overall, had a very pleasant Lunch, and would return.

We booked an evening meal after reading about the hotel in the local magazine .We preordered our meal as required and arrived at the appointed time.There was no one around so after about a 10 min wait we rang a bell and one of the owners appeared who seemed to have forgotten our booking!! The restaurant was empty so we had a drink on the patio and saw the other owner arrive from a walk with his dog.We went in the restaurant and 5 mins later our meals were served by the guy who just walked in.We heard the microwave ping and our fish pie was basically fish soup ! When we asked for the bill the other owner asked us if we had any drinks even though he served us half an hour before? there was only 2 other people in the restaurant.

We dined at this beautiful Hotel and restaurant in June. Lovely, friendly owners. We had a three course meal and every course was delicious. Beautiful views from the restaurant and the seats and tables outside. Highly recommend booking in advance.

A beautiful charming hotel/restaurant we were treated as if we were the only diners and the food was amazing everyone of our party of 7 adults 1 child agreed the food was delicious and very good prices. A great dining experience that added to a great holiday.
