    Although living in Broadstairs for many years I have never eaten upstairs nor on a Sunday. Everything from the welcoming staff to the little extras with food was amazing. We honestly felt like part of the family. I will be coming back regularly from now on. It a set menu (four courses) and the choices were plentiful. The food was amazing and well presented. The weather was awful outside and it felt like the ideal setting for a slow Sunday lunch. It was never rushed, staff were observant and helpful but not overbearing. I really loved it. Top marks :)

    A great place to eat in Broadstairs, amazing fish in a proper seaside setting, great views from a traditional style restaurant above the closest pub to the sea.

    I must admit this was an unexpected delight. Walking through the pub to the first floor restaurant we weren’t expecting much but we were very wrong. Couldn’t fault anything, food was superb, service was great. Will definitely be our new go to place when we are in the area.
