The best restaurants in Birchington South Thanet South East

Excellent place to eat. Plenty to choose from. Always tasty. We visit there for lunch often. The staff are always friendly.

Ignore the previous review. It clearly states on their website that they are closed on a Sunday and so what, maybe people actually like to have a weekend day off to themselves? Go visit them on a day they actually state that they are open before giving them a poor review?! I popped in today. First time I have been. Had the best quiche I have ever tasted. My Mum had a lovely sausage roll. Generous portion sizes. Coffee and tea were good. Lovely service. We'll be back for sure. Afternoon Tea came out whilst we were there and looked bloody delish!

Was looking forward to trying this place however mixed thoughts on this one. Menu looks good, but food was mediocre tbh, which was a shame. Ask for the wine list and prices as they are not on the menu and choice is limited and expensive! Service started off great but the main course delivery was a shambles with the server spilling bbq sauce all over two of us and not even realising, when I mentioned it to another server they didn’t seem bothered and I had to ask for serviettes to clear it up - lack of accountability which was a shame. The ribeye was over done and had to go back but was dealt with swiftly and without issue. I did speak to the manager about the bill and our experience which as you can see was mixed and she was very quick to deal with this and put things right which was a positive and much appreciated. Overall not what we were expecting, but the things that were off were put right.

We had our Son's wake at the Smugglers, Lisa is a lovely warm young lady who made a difficult time for us just perfect. Lisa & her Dad are such lovely caring people we cannot thank them enough. The food was excellent & the young lady behind the bar was lovely to. We shall visit again as the whole venu is so welcoming & very friendly. Highly recommend a visit to this lovely place worth more than the 5 star rating.

This really is a great pub and we very much enjoy visiting. We frequently go here to eat and can honestly say the food has always been very well cooked and presented. The Sunday dinner is really lovely with the beef in particular cooked to perfection. The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough to help you. Music here is always enjoyable either outside or inside in the welcoming cosy space. Good selection of drinks on offer too.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch (7th July) We arrived 10 mins before our booking only to find it was closed? There were also a number of people arriving who had booked a table and others arriving as hoc. There were 2 people inside in the kitchen area, who at first totalling ignored us and then when we knocked on the door and got the lady’s attention, only to have her shake her head at us? She didn’t answer the door. There was no sign on the doors to explain why it was closed and they didn’t answer numerous phone calls!! Terrible way to operate a restaurant. They’ve lost our custom but we gained a lovely place around the corner, Lavan, where we will visit in the future. Get your act together Coal Rooms. What are you running - shambles!!

Firstly I'd like to make clear this review is for the restaurant, the farm shop is great, however I wish I could say the same regarding the restaurant. Went inside with the wife in the main eating area on a quite morning around 10am. There were probably 3 other tables seated. The first thing we noticed was the smell, it was pretty bad, I thought it was animal urine smell and the wife said it was human urine! Probably very soaked and dried into the very old wood flooring! (No joke) We placed the order by 10.30 and it took at least 30 minutes to get our basic breakfast. It's wasn't busy! Nobody was waiting, just us, all seated just had drinks. They are very relaxed and in no rush! The kitchen would never handle a busy morning. The only quality thing about the small English breakfast was the sausage, however, definitely not worth £12. Beans tasted cheap and horrible (asda brand is better) The poached eggs were machine made, hardly not runny at all. That's was £7 for 2 eggs and toast! Basic bread. So in general very disappointed, needs massive improvement with the kitchen efficiency, chefs and menu!

Excellent everything as usual. Great service, great price and great food!

It is worth trying, it is very delicious.

Been using the Golden Bridge since 1998 and have found it to be consistently good quality.

Play equipment very tired. Not well maintained. Very expensive for what it is. Lots of parks locally which are free and better maintained. Can’t take a picnic in even though it’s £4.50 per child to enter. At that price you’d think you could take a picnic in.

This is honestly the best kebab by FAR, nicest people.. great service!! Highly recommend .. we moved out the area & having tried the kebabs local to us now we travel back to get it from birch kebab because no one even comes close!

I ordered a delivery includes ribs noodles rice and chicken satay all the food was fine apart from the RIBS I paid £6.60 for. However there was no meat on the bones. I paid for a box of BONES. When I called to ask why there was no meat on my ribs they were very rude and told me that that’s just how they come. So I continued to ask for a refund on the ribs and they declined as that’s just how the ribs come apparently! I EILL NOT BE ORDERING AGAIN AND IF YOU WANT MEAN ON UR RIBS THEN I SUGGEST GOING TO A DIFFERENT CHINESE !!!! i am very disappointed.

Have visited this local restaurant many times as the ambiance and staff are all very nice. The food is generally very good as well. But a word of caution to those of you that enjoy a steak. On our last visit we ordered a 500g Chateau Briand a sharing steak for two which I have ordered many times at other venues and struggled to eat for quantum of meat. This one turned up cleverly garnished with garlic and salad leaves. Taste was excellent but I think there was only Half of the so 500g of meat we we’re supposed to get. Left the ££££ restaurant hungry bitter and disappointed. Probably will not return

Only or 2nd takeaway but it will not be our last. Great delivery but even better food. In our 20 years of local Chinese talkeaway this is without doubt the best by far. This applies not only to flavour and presentation but also value for money. Long may you prosper. Many thanks
