The Captain Digby in Thanet

First time we had visited. We had a lovely table with views over the bay. Service was friendly good-menu choices. The food was presented well it was hot and very good portions. We will definitely be back soon

Great food as always...never had a bad meal here! Good size portions which is always a good sign in our book!

Very enjoyable experience, food was great, decent portions. Service was very good.

I have eaten in this restaurant on many occasions over a number of years. Always great service and the food is of a high standard

Tonight's meal was up to it's normal good standard but service was slightly slower than I would have liked even though the restaurant wasn't full. I'll eat here again it is good value for money.

Very good service even though the restaurant was very busy, and no delay in food coming to table

We had a really lovely lunch as usual when we visit. The food was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again

Lovely dinner only issue was when we asked if our 87 year old mum could have a small portion the waitress said they only do one size which is a waste surely if restaurants offered older people who cannot manage a large meal the option of a smaller portion it would save on food waste as in this instance we ordered our mum a normal meal and she left half of it not for any reason other than there was too much on her plate. However the food and service was full value for money

Food was average at best. Service great and staff kind and friendly but food was overcooked if not burnt. Great for the kids but really the food needs so much work this isn’t even pub grub or greasy cafe food it’s just rubbish and tasteless.

Apart from the restaurant being exceptionally busy it was a good experience. We did have to wait a while for our dinner to be served but it was because there was a large party for a 30th birthday on. We were given complimentary puddings as a gesture of goodwill because of the wait which was well received. Thank you. 🙏

Nice easy relaxed Sunday lunch. Would definitely recommend

As always outstanding service and food. Never ever not had a great time. Friendly staff and excellent food.

I’m a regular and I love everything about the Captain Digby, the staff are professional, attentive, helpful and generally very nice. Food is excellent, varied, tasty, great value for money and really generous portions. Always a 10 out of 10 💙💙💙

The food was delicious, really attentive staff and our children loved the play area , it was a great time for all of us

Excellent service , excellent food The staff are lovely always professional attentive and helpful

Lovely meal as always...its our go to for a good Sunday roast! Never leave there hungry!

It was very very busy very noisy food was ok fish and chips fish was very small minted lamb steak was very tough, overall not very good

My friend sat on a very wobbly chair, which we replaced-hope it was removed from use. Food was quite nice with good sized portions. The staff were attentive, but at times it felt a bit intrusive-having a conversation and the waitress loudly pops up to ask us questions, interrupting us on a few occasions. I do not like being asked if everything is OK when we haven't had a chance to try the food

Always lovely food & lots of it! Service great, nice people looking after you.

Staff were brilliant food was lovely and we really enjoyed the ambiance in there we have been before and again was lovely and obviously will be going again in the near future

Lovely place food normally outstanding but forgot our peppercorn for steak and gge steak was really chewy which spoiled 1 of our dinners staff friendly but no sense of humour not bad value for money

Food was very tasty and very filling.We thought it was excellent value for money

The booking of the lunch was very easy. We arrived early, which was okay, and were well received by the staff. It looked as though it was going to be a busy lunchtime, and it was! However, the staff coped well, and always had a smile on their faces. The generous roast beef lunches were swiftly delivered, with a good selection of vegetables. We were impressed! Did we enjoy the meals? Well, the clean plates demonstrated we might have done! 😁 Thank you, we’ll be back.

Great service,big portions. Always lovely meal Will come back

There is always a varied menu with plenty of choice to suit all tastes. Service is good, staff always friendly. The dining room is spacious and comfortable with wonderful sea views.

Excellent meal with good staff Good play space for the children

Great value for money and helpful, friendly staff…

Service was prompt. Food delicious. Ordered steak meal and steak pie meal with banoffi pie and summer fruits cheesecake. Booking was midweek lunchtime and although the restaurant was busy it was a relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money.

Had a lovely after birthday meal, service was fantastic, staff helpful and considerate. Food was delicious and great portions.

We go to the Digby quite often & are always please with the food & service etc

Table booked for 5:30 . Early so not many people in restaurant. Food v.good service v.good.

Lovely pub/restaurant situated in beautiful settings overlooking the beach. Friendly welcoming staff and great food & service.

Always an excellent meal and the staff are so friendly & helpful. The scenery is stunning.

great food,great service as usual, this place never lets you down, this time we went for our wedding anniversery

My best friend drove down from Surrey yesterday with a request that we dine at the Digby. From entering, we were noticed. Staff smiled and said Hi, then the manager Immediately took charge with banter and smiles. We were seated at a lively window seat. From then on it ran like clockwork. Drinks order. Drinks served. Food order taken. Food served. Sauces asked and given. Food was so good. I could not stop eating. Hot, fresh and full of flavour. It was huge, and then the veg came. Wow. With just enough room to share a banana waffle I cannot tell you enough, it was perfect!

Staff are excellent very professional food was good

Terrible service. We were there on a busy Saturday night plenty of staff on who were more interested in chatting and having a laugh together than taking our order and collecting our drinks. Food was very good, would've expected a hirer level of service for the price we paid. We enjoyed the food but won't go here again on a weekend.

My chicken burger was supposed to come in brioche bun but it was ordinary bun which was very dry. Staff said they had delivery problems & could only supply a vegan brioche which was brought to me half way through meal. Very disappointed.

Great and friendly staff. Disappointed that whitebait was not on the menu as it used to be. Please bring it back.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We all enjoyed our meal at Captain Digby. The service was excellent. One meal was late being served and we were not charged for that particular part of the meal. This was much appreciated. We had a lovely sea view. I would recommend.

The usual excellent service, food and value! I would highly recommend The Captain Digby

We have eaten here for 20 years, always a great experience.

A very good choice of meals, lovely food, well presented and good value for money. Polite and friendly staff. Sea views. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Service a little slow but restaurant was quite full. Otherwise excellent.

Great situation, we had a table overlooking the sea. The staff were outstanding as was the food. Value for money was amazing. The only slight criticism was the noise level with small children.

Had a brilliant meal last Sunday. As I'm a oap I couldn't manage normal size of Sunday roast, so was very pleased that I could have a smaller plate! Staff very helpful and attentive, will definitely come again.

The food and service were excellent and very good value for money

Although restaurant wasn't busy service was slow, had to wait in waiter to reappear from lower level to order. Even though they were supposed to be working upper level. Food was hot and filling, although starter was slightly over cooked. We were seated right next to another full table, when the restaurant was empty, considering half the reason we pick this place was for sea view, we weren't sat anywhere near the window.

Unfortunatly food was burnt and cold. Service OK etc

Haven’t been there before , the food was very good and great value for money . The sun was out and it was lovely looking out at the sea. Will definitely be going back.

The best place to eat , food and service is excellent, thankyou ..

Excellent service as usual, great staff, great service and great food!

Value for money could better. I had a chargrilled chicken salad for my main which comprised of lettuce, caesar sauce, chicken, red onions and croutons for approximately £15. I forfeited on the onions and it wasn’t the best, I still felt unsatisfied after eating it, I think the ingredients have been tweaked as this is one of my favourites, it has definitely had items reduced. Some items on the menu are better value than others.

Great food and large portions. Reasonably priced with a great location. Staff were great and very attentive but not overly

It’s a great place for lunch. Beautiful setting. Good food. Efficient and friendly staff.

Food was delicious and value for money. Service was excellent.

Very good value for money. Ordered cheesy garlic bread to go with seafood linguine and there were 4 very large pieces! The seafood linguine was very nice, although I couldn't see much hake. I was too full to have dessert but will definitely be eating there again. Very good menu with lots of choice.

The girl serving us spent most of her time pulling down her rather short skirt, staff did not look like they wanted to be there and after waiting 55 minutes for food with a 16month, I was ready to go home. The food arrived and it was lovely but the wait for the food, ridiculous.

As always, good food great service friendly staff. Great location.

Restaurant was very busy. Serving staff were very friendly, helpful & efficient. Food was very good and portions were very generous.

No complaints we all really enjoyed the food we will be back

We received a very warm welcome, and were impressed with the menu choices. Our food was excellent, the team were extremely attentive and helpful, and we very much enjoyed our evening.

Haven’t visited for a few years so we decided to book for a family birthday. Very busy but staff were friendly and efficient. Food was great; generous portions and excellent value for money

The food was good as always and the team friendly. The service was a little slow inside, but then it was the hottest day of the year and it was very busy on the outside tables, so staff can't be everywhere. Well done to the team 👍

No one served us when we sat down, I had to get someone. We waited a long time for our food but no apology or warning it would take that long, we had two small children with us getting very hungry. Drinks took a long time, I then received the wrong drink. My son’s sausages arrived RAW!!!! No discount or removal of item on bill. It was so late when we left and had to get back to London I didn’t want to bring anything up as we just wanted to leave.

It was mid August. Due to the carpark being let out to beach goers parking was difficult. My husband ordered the vegan burger and chips. Very poor quality. Could have got similar quality at a seafront cafe. Disappointed. We've eaten here many times and enjoyed it but not this time

Very busy, but was seen to quickly . There was a mistake with our order which resulted in two of our group(out of 4) getting there meals and eating whilst ours was being rectified and cooked. Very busy and noisy but it was a pleasant family meal and atmosphere.

We were welcomed and shown to our table promptly, the waitress took our orders and the meals were delivered within a reasonable time. There were 5 of us, 3 had steak which was cooked as requested, one had a curry which was plentiful and tasty, the other had steak & ale pie with jacket potato, the pastry was fluffy and full of meat, the jacket was soft and fluffy, so overall we all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be returning, also btw we had a fab sea view too!

Yes it was great food, huge portions and desert was lovely

A lovely family restaurant and the food is gorgeous

Great location, good quality food and friendly staff.

Beautiful 'oldy-worldy' pub in a beautiful, beachside location. Super friendly staff. Spotlessly clean. Delicious food and a great range of drinks. They also allowed us to park in the car park before they opened .

Mostly good or better as usual Unfortunately completely forgetting an order for a second drink is not forgivable. Service is what the hospitality industry is about.

The Captain Digby is very close to my parents care home so we tend to eat there fairly often. It’s always a pleasure to eat here. The staff are always delightful & go above and beyond. The food is always consistently good. If the weather is good we can eat outside with the lovely view of the beach. I would thoughtfully recommend The Captain Digby

Good food and lovely staff as usual, very busy so quite noisy as this is a popular family pub but enjoyed meal and chose to sit outside after with a glass of wine and beer to finish off the evening

The ambience, service and choice of menu are good, but the steak, ale and onion pie is a great dish for which I shall be returning whenever in the area. The pie element is so deep and the ingredients so attractive that it would come in the 'top ten' of my restaurant meals consumed in a lifetime of over 80 years. I will be back!

Great location, had a seat by the window, my roast took about 40 minutes to come out but was worth waiting for, and plenty of it Would recommend,

We chose to dine at the Captain Digby as we've visited before and always had a wonderful time. We were entertaining family who were staying in Broadstairs, so the location was perfect. We all enjoyed a fantastic meal and would definitely recommend others to visit. The food and service are excellent and the location amazing. Arriving early; we spent some time walking between the three bays, that are close by. All in all, a fabulous time was had. We'll be visiting again soon.

Food and atmosphere was great unfortunately the only let down was the waiting time just over an hour waiting for starters but apart from this highly recommend trying

The food was great. All four of us had different main courses and thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband had the steak pie which was full of meat and he found it too much! You'd need a really good appetite to eat it all. The service was friendly and efficient. The only downside was the price of the drinks.

This is a lovely spot, atmospheric with fabulous sea views and food to match. The cod was perfectly cooked and chunky with crisp on the outside and soft on the inside chips - perfect. The liver and bacon was superb well cooked with lots of gravy. Forget school days this was thinly sliced and perfectly cooked. Deserts the cheesecake was perfect and the Splice the main brace unimaginable tasty. Very good selection of beers and wine. Staff were helpful and cheerful. A memorable meal. Thank you.

The usual faultless service. Excellent food and service in a wonderful venue with generous servings and very fairly priced.

2nd time eating here in our weekend break and found it a really lovey experience. Food and staff are amazing

We have been to the Captain Digby many times, it never fails to provide great food and great service. Would recommend to book in advance as when we went they were turning people away because they were fully booked

Steak chewy noise too loud cheesecake not tasting like cheesecake gentleman server professional and pleasebt

We loved our 1st time visit and will come again, looking at a Sunday for the roast. Staff where lovely and nothing was to much trouble we have a fussy eater and vegetarians and all where accommodated 😃

Food was amazing as ever but service slow and trying to pay the bill was a nightmare as couldn’t get anyone’s attention for at least 20 mins

Good place for groups and families very reasonable prices

We had to wait a very long time for our drinks and an hour for our food. When the food came the fish was over cooked and 2 of the dishes were swamped in a thick stoggy tasteless sauce which would have been better served on the side. We complained but nothing was offered off our bill or even a drink as a form of compensation.

Lovely location, great staff but sadly on this occasion my friends chicken was dry. Previously food always excellent. Staff did offer new one but friend just ate a little. They kindly give her pudding and coffee complimentary. Will not stop me going there.

Had a lovely roast dinner, can’t wait to come back.

Friendly staff and the food is incredible - large portions!

Food was ok. 8 of us eating and 2 didn’t enjoy their food. Kids pizza was like a microwave one. Messed up 2 peoples order so the rest of the table had nearly finished by the time their food came. Very busy and ridiculously loud. Hard to chat with the noise volume. Staff were ok but run off their feet so not very attentive. Wasn’t asked if food ok mid-meal or asked about extra drinks etc. Better places to eat with better atmosphere for the similar priced pub food

All Round Amazing. The Waiter was so friendly and made my Son & I feel so relaxed and happy

Exceptional food, enjoyed by all. Soft play a big hit. Service was brilliant, very attentive but not overbearing. Beautiful views. Very happy customers!

We booked a table for 6 adults and 2 children. The play area was well received by both. Our food was delicious, I had a wonderful goats cheese and onion salad. We all had good service and we would definitely eat here again.

I always enjoy my visit to the Captain Digby. I know that I'm guaranteed excellent service and food every time.

Even though we had to travel 1.5 hours, It was recommended to us we visit and we're glad we did. The staff were very friendly and the food was stunning. Good sized portions and piping hot. We didn't feel rushed at all. We will definitely be returning

Hidden treasure with a fabulous view. Great Sunday roast! Very generous portion size. And the starters were fab also.
