The best restaurants in Thanet South East

6 of us decided to have a late late lunch here. We sat outside. The couple were welcoming and friendly. I have wanted a new food category forever, FP&CH. Freshly Prepared & Cooked Here!!! We got it here! We eat out a great deal, lunches & dinners and have been disappointed many times. We had various items, a chili, Paninis, Chicken Skewers, Mac & Cheese with Garlic Bread and a Ploughmans. My Chili was absolutely gorgeous, spicy with an incredible flavour, I am quite proud of my own Chili but this was better. All 6 of us enjoyed the food and it started swopsies it was that good. The white wine was lovely. The view over the harbour even on a threatening stormy day was stunning. We will go again. I really recommend you book.

Super friendly service, well cooked food and a good price. Love that the fish was wrapped separately so stays crispy. We were even given some chips and small bits of fish to eat while we waited. Couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back again.

Lovely breakfast as always and friendly welcome

Good quality and choice of bread, cakes, pastries etc. from the bakery. The fruit pies and sausage rolls are very good too!! All in all a super independent tea room and bakery, with friendly staff serving a good selection of lovely meals from the tea room. Great coffee too, so well worth the visit.

We turned up to get our pre-booked table and the staff were unwelcoming and didn’t smile. I ordered a Carlsberg and got a Cobra and when I queried it, I was told they didn’t have any even though it was on the menu. We ordered starters which turned up luke warm. The main course was ok but nothing to write home about. My wife had the lamb achari, which she said didn’t have much flavour. I had the lamb malayan and if it wasn’t for the pineapple in it, it would’ve been completely bland. The staff need to show they are bothered about their customers and perhaps smile a bit more. The restaurant was just over half full and there was very little atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend visiting this restaurant. The only plus side is that they forgot to charge us for the drink each we had. They never asked if we wanted another drink even though our glasses were empty half way through the starters.

The cakes were very very dry not nice

Very dog friendly, always enjoy my time here. Thank you x

We are regulars when we're in Broadstairs. As others have said, the owner who looks after guests is charming and super-smiley. The food is always terrific - freshly made and beautifully spiced. Highly recommended.

Nice sitting out area in sun by sea. Restaurant had run out of quite a few items on menu. My steak was OK hubby had mixed grill his steak was inedible as so gristly. Staff were wonderful though and charged cheeseburger price for mixed grill. Very helpful and friendly. Restaurant last orders 7.45pm think it was mainly due to it getting a bit rough in Margate later in evening.

The meal was tip too however the service from one person ruined the whole experience for us. Please be aware that this is a passive experience, great food but indifferent service. I do t want to mention names but she know who she is.

While food was quite nice unfortunately portion sizes were very small for the price and when we asked why they were so small excuses were made including "pad thai is a side dish" and not a main. Portion was taken back and reappeared with 2 extra noodles. Disappointing

We caught the bus into Birchington so we could walk at leisure around the town. We started one side of the high street and decided to visit this cafe on the back of their bakery shop. It was very busy but as it was a Saturday and Christmas market day it had to be expected . We found a table in the main area under a heater. We were greeted by a young lady given menus and within 15 minutes we had our coffees and food . The food was exceptional I had a sausage sandwich in white bloomer bread and my wife had scrambled egg on brown whole meal bread . We would definitely visit again when next in town and perhaps try a day during the week. The bread and cakes on sale in their shop were going quick and they looked good and well priced.

We went for a family lunch, I ate a bacon chicken and avocado sandwich and salad with a cup of coffee. at first it seemed fine then needed the toilet, twice before I paid, 3 times in the next 20 min. by the next day I was in bed with stomach cramps. I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager who was very apologetic, he said to email him and he would sort something out to say sorry. No reply, tried the restaurants email address a few times as well - nothing, not even a sorry be careful

My friend and I went here for the first time on a weekday lunchtime and found seating downstairs. As all busy upstairs and we didn’t want to sit outside or in the covered walkway to the cinema area. We both thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and coffee. I had prawn and avocado sandwich on brown bread with salad and Kent Crisps my friend had smoked Salmon and cream cheese bagel that also came with salad and crisps. The cakes looked very nice but we were a bit full to try them probably will in our next visit. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back!
