The best restaurants in Bradstowe Thanet South East

Little gem nestled right on the harbour side, very unassuming cosy local pub offering a great range of ales and lagers. Friday night live music and a seafood restaurant upstairs serving delicious homemade dishes, mostly fresh seafood but some meat options too… but make sure you book! We were very lucky that the manager/landlady let us take an early table otherwise we would have missed out on a very fine meal and experience. Beautiful views out over the seafront, charming atmosphere and such friendly, professional staff too. Can’t wait to return to try it again .

This place is a lovely atmosphere however one of our servers was quite rude. I didn’t catch her name however she was blonde and a slim figure. Her skirt was so short and her attitude was rude. I expected more from this restaurant. Food was great.

Delicious full English breakfast and poached egg and Avocado on toast, good portions and great value for money. Friendly and helpful service throughout. Also cater for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian on their menu. Would definitely recommend for a quick and fuelling breakfast with good quality produce!

I’m sorry but I would never go here again! Visiting for the day, as we have many times, and my husband just picked it assuming as it is in a very popular place it would be fine. Sat towards the back, ordered bottle of house wine which was fine but glasses were cloudy and never been wiped after dishwasher so looked dirty all over. Ordered a cod & chips and rock & chips. No rock!!!! We were going to leave but had started the wine and they were doing the food so felt a bit bad if we did. Food came up with no tartare sauce as advertised, but it was freshly cooked and nice. Told to use tartare bottle in rusty holder but bottle was dirty with no top to it, needless to say we didn’t use it. The place is a disgrace, tables all sticky and condiment holders rusty, smell from toilet awful, which was blocked. We did move to get away from smell. Decor was absolutely appalling, not been done for decades by the look of it. Young staff were lovely, our waitress was lovely but the young man just kept running his hands through his hair and he was serving!! Overall not a good experience and not what Broadstairs should be letting go! Needs to be closed and completely refurbished.

The portions in here are absolutley massive and for crazy, silly , small prices. No wonder it us always busy. Recommended.

Have been here several times to eat in. The cod and chips are always tasty and well cooked and not greasy. The fish has just the right amount of light crispy batter. Not like some places where the fish looks huge but it’s all batter. The service is good and the staff are friendly. The only downside for me is the toilet (which is down steep,stairs) is rather shabby and last time we went was a bit smelly. I think someone had probably put a dirty nappy in the bin.

Visited here a lot over the years but lately it has really gone downhill. Dirty tables, staff standing around chatting , ages to wait for a drink. Yesterday topped it all. The member of staff , short with glasses and greasy tied back hair had no interest in serving customers. A constant frown on her face . The coffee was awful and just a cup full of foam . As customers we felt unwanted and will most definitely not be returning. For the price they charge for a cup of coffee we would expect a smile and a clean cafe at least ...

didn't have a meal at the dolphin went for the karaoke eve last thursday, well what can i say after the negative reviews this pub gets. we are a couple 79 plus who love a bit of karaoke, the bar staff, the young lady running this and all the young people in there made us very feel welcome, they were polite and friendly and personally i didn't hear any bad language. we had a very enjoyable evening so well done kids some great voices too, thanks

Its our first time here since its reopened with a new owner. The pizzas are lacking flavour and ingrediants. The service is ok but Papa Johns is really now nothing special.

Cut above the usual beachfront cafe with proper coffee and small selection of brownies, pasties, toasties and smoothies. Gets busy on sunny mornings so maybe not the place if you are in a hurry. Table seating and loungers on the beach for guests.

chips were hard and chicken was under cooked even though I asked for well done

Where do I start with this….. the garlic king prawns I had for a starter, looked like they had put frozen prawns into a bowl of dish water they had no garlic flavour. just watery prawns. VERY dissatisfied!! And they charged £8.99! If I was the chef I would have been embarrassed to serve that sh*t. The main was just an over priced burger very poor quality food. The service was pretty bad unfortunately. Took a long time to ask us for drinks they were too interested in talking to their friends in the kitchen I will definitely not be back. Who ever runs this place needs to have a serious sort out . This place could be a winner but needs a serious change. Very disappointed. (Ps cocktails were decent)

Had 2 fabulous meals here whilst on our holiday. The food is first class every time. A special mention for the Lobster Thermidor which is the best I have ever eaten. The sauce is just amazing - you just have to try it. Fabulous service. Word of warning - if you want to try the Lobster Thermidor, ask to reserve one when you book a table, which is essential to avoid any disappointment. Thanks again. See you next year.

Great service , well priced tasty food, meals served by polite & happy staff. We had a table in conservatory area which was very nice.

My daughter can't have dairy or soya, I saw they had 3 vegan flavours on display so then checked with a staff member about ingredients and she was very helpful. The ice cream was really nice and it was good to have a few choices. We'll definitely go there again.
