The Royal Victoria Pavilion in Thanet

This is an impressive building and makes a really impressive pub. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Usual 'Spoons drink range. Recent refurbishment had made only small changes to interior - extending the balcony to full loop. Exterior changes sound interesting but it was far too windy and cold to check them out!

Best Spoons to visit in the summertime as there is an open deck that us right on the beachfront. Inside is always too noisy.

Although the biggest in the country, the service, the food and drinks are, as always for 'Spoons, second to none. The service is always quick and the food hot and in these days very cost effective. I appreciate it is not Cordon Bleu cooking, but just what you expect, although I do miss the steaks which are not on the menu. The setting is beautiful, especially in the summer, but is a welcome step off when going for a seaside walk in the winter. Long may it reign over the Royal Harbour, Ramsgate.

Fab spoons! Impressive building and lovely views from the terrace and outdoor seating area at the rear. Can be a little busy in the summer but that is to be expected. Staff are friendly and efficient which is a bonus, food is typical of spoons- no frills but tasty enough.

Food so so but good pub, reasonable prices. Great location

Currently undergoing a refurb, but looks nice through the windows, good location, and a massive pub

Closing for refurb so good and drink options extremely limited. Don't go until they've restocked

Alas, the Royal Victoria Pavillion is closed, but should re-open on Saturday 7th December.

Nice pub cheap drinks, reasonable food 😋

Spoons is a great place to relax and enjoy your breakfast 😊

Unfortunately closed for refurbishment 11 nov to 7 dec.

I love this place. Food cheap and for the price is ok. Always busy.

Nice spot by the sea for a quick drink by the sea

What a fab Wetherspoons right on the beach - fantastic rooftop outdoor seating area great views of the coast line and harbour - some great ales on and as good choice of many other drinks - had the fish as s chips nice meal and great value too

Great place fir breakfast with lots of choices. Lovely atmosphere.

An absolutely amazing place. The building is fabulous. The service was good and the food was also excellent. Why only 4 stars? Even though it wasn't all that busy the team didn't clear things away. Also there were bins and plates in sight, which wasn't great. I have been to some much busier Wethersoons where plates and glasses were cleared more quickly.

Good JDW good food selection and fast service

Good for families and groups of friends.

I only got one of the 2 portions of halloumi Fry's I ordered, children everywhere one of them stared weirdly at me, the server laughed at me for ordering a glass of milk off the kids menu

Lovely fresh food served by helpful, friendly staff. Amazing value

Lovely burger and chips. Some garnish/ salad would of been welcome. But overall Lovely.

Lovely building, good view, really quick food service and friendly staff

This Wetherspoons is massive in the inside and looks really good, the food was really tasty. Would come back here again

Breakfast advertised on your web site for 1200 but orders end abruptly at 1130. So a wasted 20 mile journey for me and my wife. Thanks P.s. and the atmosphere outside,.once it gets busy, is one loud scraping chair after another.

Free coffee refills you can't go wrong

One of the JD wetherspoon with a very nice view and cozy interior. Plenty of tables and not so busy.

Great value pub ...... Massive!!

We only had drinks here, which were very reasonable. The place is massive as it's the biggest weatherspoons in the country and on two levels.

Probsbly the nicest food ive had at a spoons.

Always good food and drink and the views of harbour are amazing from the balcony.

Easy service and good food , 1 problem is they dont sell ice cream until after breakfast which is weird with a big place right on the beach

We live locally and have taken to enjoying our seaside walks to/ from RVP at the weekends. This JD Weatherspoon is beautifully located on the beach, close to the harbour and town. Not only is the building beautiful but the staff are always polite and welcoming, Christina behind the bar especially. We have only had cooked breakfasts here, but it is served quickly , piping hot and always excellent value. The seating is comfortable with lovely views on offer from terrace, upper or even ground floor. Great place for solo, couples or families. Arguably the best Weatherspoons in Kent, it has it all!

Who doesn't like a spoons, this one is huge and on a lovely day, the outside space is great until the pigeons and seagulls decend on you after you finish eating!! Savages 😆 Great view of the beach!

Sat outside on the terrace, really lovely as it was a sunny day. Food was very nice.

Best spoons I've ever been in. Clean, spacious, fantastic decoration. Beautiful building with historical ties. Excellent selection of beers and wines. Food service is excellent. Food quality is good.

I went here today and was greeted by Christina, absolutely loved it here food was great also staff was wonderful but Christina was brilliant so friendly

Lovely food and view off the balcony. Perfect

Large cod and chips and a pint £11 👌 Good crispy batter large portion of fish sitting outside on the terrace in the sun Cold Guinness and I don't know how they get the food out so quick

Really good place to eat good food and prices

Always a nice atmosphere. If having hot drinks, be prepared to wait as there's only ever 1 machine working, which either runs out of milk, hot chocolate powder or both

Classic weather spoons. Apparently the largest in the UK.

Fabulous sea view from every angle! Great place for families and meet-ups with no pressure or stress. Very friendly and helpful staff, who appeared to be customer- focused, which is the whole idea - no customers, means no job for them! Totally enjoyed the fish and chip lunch. Thank you Wetherspoons.

Popped in for lunch and got exactly what we expected good prices for food and drinks. Good friendly service and good food.

Had lovely chicken tika masala, and a warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberrys was out of its world, delicious 😋

Great beer selection at unbeatable prices, I can use my CAMRA vouchers too. Food is always good. Summers on the outside terrace are marvellous..

Found a pube in my curry think it was the guy that had black hair and man bun!! Never again! DM me on Facebook though- Brendan Stroud

A spoons is a spoons...food is decent enough, cheap and piping hot and everything is served quickly when ordered through the app.

Came in today and this man, I overheard his name was Brandon stobe or something was saying to his friend that he put a pube on a random plate that was on the bar. I was utterly disgusted

Best spoons...fab outside terrace with views out to sea and the working Royal harbour. Cheap as chips grub and GnTs😍. Staff exceptionally good too....they now serve Leffe 😊

Great workers Great service as well as atmosphere clean good food

Great location nice food very polite and prompt service

Amazing large location, with simple food

Previously rated here a 3, but revised recently and things have improved. The breakfast was tasty and freshly cooked, the tables had been cleaned and wiped down so went sticky as they were on my last visit. And the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely improved.

Shame dogs aren't allowed. Unfortunate customers on the beach side shouting and swearing ruined our coffee.

We visited Ramsgate and stuck for lunch, i've not been in a Witherspoon for years, we had a lovely lunch, it's huge inside and an historic building has been saved, ticked all the boxes, loved the gents WC upstairs, staff were charming, 💯 worth a visit 😀

The biggest spoons n the country and surprisingly delightful. Clean, well managed, great views and as always cheap as chips.

Four stars for location, right on the beach. Biggest wetherspoons I have ever been in.

We had coffee on the the terrace outside. It was cheap, with unlimited refills to boot. You have to order on your phone via a QR code, but it's easy to navigate the menu. The service was very fast, despite it being a busy afternoon. The terrace itself is beautiful, with lots of nice planters and, of course, the Seaview.

Had breakfast very swift service

The best thing about this particular "Spoons" is the large deck upstairs which provides fantastic views of the beach and harbour ☀️😎🍺⛵

Popped in for a quick lager. The first time there, it is massive and beautiful inside. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was so chilled out . We sat outside on the balcony area and just enjoyed the view.

Fantastic building, great location and huge outside terrace right on the beach. Speckled hen only £2.12 a pint!

Largest Wetherspoons in the country, apparently, so you know exactly what you’re getting - plus it’s right on the beach. On a sunny day it would be some people’s definition of an ideal holiday. Even at 3pm on a Saturday it was getting quite raucous and the dividing line between public beach space and pub was a bit ambiguous.

The biggest Wetherspoons in the United Kingdom! The view from the terrace is absolutely amazing and we were super happy to find a table outside. There’s plenty of seating and all with tables, so you can order food and drinks. Staff work hard and are friendly, lots of young staff with a great work attitude too. Tables could do with a regular clean as ours was covered in ketchup from the previous users and the waitress didn’t care to clean it but she was very busy. We have had better Wetherspoons food but it is hard to complain given the price and speed of service. Come for the views and drinks, maybe skip the food.

Did a special visit being the largest spoons. Not bad, loved being able to see the kitchen. Very fast service and good quality food.

Our party of 4 opted for fish n chips. We found this pub doesn't seem to stock the full range of menu or just runs out. I ordered baked beans, but pease arrived! After some time, I got my beans cold, and my companions had nearly finished their dinners. So, it's not great, in fact, pretty disappointing 😕.

Greeted but bad mannered girl at the front door very abrupt no please or thank-you.after this bad start everything else was good....food & beer

I'm gluten and dairy intolerant. Staff were very helpful. Definitely would go back

We had breakfast here twice while visiting Ramsgate, I was pretty amazed after the 1st time my husband was pleased when I said I'd go again, the staff were brilliant better than some 5☆ places, the place is very clean, breakfast was good for the price with as many hot drinks you can drink and the views across the sea fabulous 👌

Great venue. Drinks on the upper terrace were fab.

The only Whetherspoons I'd visit. Love this place. Idyllic and cheap!

Breakfast was Luke warm as usual, eggs were like hockey pucks , first time there for a year for same reason but nothings changed there are much better places to go especially if you want a hot breakfast

Being the biggest weatherspoons it's something great to behold. Lovely location on the seafront. So much room, you never have to be on top of the other tables. Ordering via the app from the table is so easy and amazingly fast, highly recommended. It's a little tired in places with ripped furniture at times and some spots that need electrics addressing and painting done but overall it's a decent site compared to some, given it's size.

Beautiful stunning views. Right on the beach ⛱️ Cheap drinks, usual weatherspoons atmosphere. Cleaner than most spoons 🙌

We loved it there good service very relaxing

Me and my dad came here for an evening out and ordered the chicken jalffrezi but it wasn’t cooked and we got food poisoning. It all arrived just off warm and no flavour

Enjoy your meal. Cheap compared to everything else, but the citizens were quite small.

First time in the pavilion I thought it was brilliant staff, me and my son really enjoyed our time there. Ps i will be back .

Best pub and pub grub in Ramsgate.

It is a great place to visit and have lunchtime meal. Very friendly staff and quick service.

While Wetherspoons never disappoint in terms of service, menu and pricing this one goes a notch above by best location with amazing deck view, simply amazing, Crown Jewel on this wonderful chain of Pub

Fantastic location, no matter what the weather.

Good food and drink and a lovely view from the upper floor.

Largest Wetherspoons in UK, this was as usual impeccable value for money and great food. A definite highlight in our trip to Ramsgate

100% on everything could not fault anything. Lovely place to eat will certainly come back again.

Beautiful building , beautiful views outdoors ,lovely booths inside and balcony , great bargain food and drink , add in the people watching and you can't ask for more.

Another example of a very good conversion by JD's

Stayed in ramsgate so was always going to go in here , great position on the side of the beach , great drinks and food , lovely view what’s not to like

Food was lukewarm, and the portion sizes were terrible, adults cheese burger was smaller than a kids burger. There were nice views if you can get a seat by the windows.

We came today for my mums birthday. There ended up about 30 of us. We was looked after with moving tables to accommodate us. The staff member Archie was amazing, helpful and friendly throughout out time here. He is an asset to your team. Thank you xxx

Great views with a good menu. Breakfast & dinners. Large seating area. Lift available to upper area. Toilets. Bar area. Central to harbour & shops.

Went for breakfast found the whole experience enjoyable . Breakfast cooked quickly nice and hot . Venue clean and spacious . Food and coffee was very nice

Drove down to Ramsgate for breakfast,lovely sunny day,food good,and cheap as always,amazing building.quiet in the morning,plenty of seating inside and out.

Was pleasant overlooking the beach from the balcony, food was what you would expect from wetherspoons

You know what you are getting in Wetherspoons. And this was the same prices as normal. It was a massive place & had been well done up. It did have a great roof terrace.

Why do I like a wetherspoon pub? Food never disappoints! Love the fact that you can have as much condiments as you want. 👍😂 Very reasonably priced!

It's lighting is rather dim therefore older people with poor sight this doesn't help as my partner couldn't see what he was eating so we had to move by the window.

A beautiful place. The classiest Wetherspoons we've ever been in 😉😂

Really enjoy here. Food tasty and reasonable prices.

Very nice place to meet up with people and have food and drinks.
