The best restaurants serving British food in Thanet South East

We visited today (19 Nov) for the £1 pensioners special and guess what - no soup until the 22 November! Soup hadn't been available for the three days previous. Thought Asda was a supermarket, obviously not if they don't sell soup!

Fantastic full English breakfast - just what I needed before the long drive home. The cafe has a relaxed welcoming atmosphere and a great view of the sea. Really nice customer service too. Definitely worth a visit.

I came in here today for brunch. It wasn't particularly busy. I ordered a jacket potato, coffee and a poached egg on the side. The coffee was quite good. The food was delivered quickly, but despite that, it was delicious; the potato was done to absolute perfection and they threw in an extra egg for free. The service and food were far better than I expected, and I will be coming back soon.

I don’t know how this place continues to hold a licence for trading, something I will be looking into. I would not waste your hard earned cash on this place, because you get nothing at all except awful greasy food and extortionate prices. After politely complaining about the food and their attitude I was refused my request for half of my money back as , I had eaten the egg from the sandwich and tasted the greasy chips ‘ which were disgusting ! I thought requesting half my money back was reasonable, but I received a mouthful of laughter and abuse from all three staff. I also noted that the premises were far from clean, as a previous reviewers have stated, there was no hand sanitiser available, a filthy dirty fridge that customers have to help themselves from and rude staff. I’m not one for telling others not to take their custom there as it’s their own choice, but please be warned and don’t waste your money. I will be contacting the local council to see what they have to say about Sam’s Bar holding a licence.

Great friendly service, yummy food, burger was outstanding, jalapeno croquettes even better. Drinks were great and very generous

Lovely service from Grace at lunch last Friday. She is a huge asset, friendly, efficient and charming. The sea view from the restaurant was spectacular on a sparkling January day and the ambience was buzzy, altogether a very pleasant experience.

Lovely food very nice and friendly staff

Decided to stop for a drink and Sunday lunch after a long walk around the coastline. Although we hadn’t booked the staff were really friendly and managed to fit us in!! One of us had the most amazing roast chicken with roasties, Yorkshire pud, veg and lots of lovely gravy!! My sister and I opted for the chicken and ham pie roast which also came with roasties, winter veg, Yorkshire pud and a jug of gravy! The food was piping hot and delicious and the portions were very generous!! It’s great value for money too! I would definitely recommend a visit though I would suggest booking to be safe as they get very busy.

Been a while since I have vistied the Minnis for dinner, and I was very impressed. We was welcomed by Dee our waitress who was Assistant Manager very nice and super helpful. Delicious food and very enjoyable evening. We will be back again soon.

My husband just collected the banger bundle.It was very disappointing. The chips were very dry and old. You could tell that they had been heated up. My husband phoned them up to complain. He was told ‘ well we are busy’. This isn’t the first time that this has happened. We won’t be going there again !!!
