The best restaurants in Birchington South Thanet South East

I have been going here regularly for a few years now and it has always been a good experience with excellent food and service, would recommend to everyone.

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!

Came here for the Bottomless brunch offer at £40 for food and cocktails/beer (90mins). The food is divine! I don’t even like ribs but they were heavenly 😋 They were really forthcoming with the drinks and you didn’t feel limited. We wizzed our way through all the Xmas themed cocktails. Grinch a firm favourite. The staff really friendly and served us drinks continually. No waiting around. Place has a lovely setup. Lots of other themed nights and events. Highly recommend.

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.

We were on a break at Birchington on sea & called in on our first night after arriving & having had a walk up the lovely high street. Dog friendly on one side of the bar/restaurant. Traditional looking and very well decorated, cosy & comfortable. Hubby ordered drinks and food. Staff very friendly, food came in a timely fashion, & as expected it was hot and tasty. We visited again the night before we returned home. We would highly recommend & would definitely return if we came back to the area 👍 Didn't give the rooms a star rating as we weren't staying in them. Hope that helps?

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!!

It is worth trying, it is very delicious.

I didn’t eat in cafe , but in the farm shop the lady on the till was very rude. Could speak, No hello, just grunted at and held her hand at for money, I nearly didn’t buy my bits shame as well stocked farm shop.

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

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

They still do an excellent Kung Po and the service is good. If you nip in to order it can take a while as they get very busy with deliveries and phone orders.
