Fredericks Tea Room - Thanet

We were told to sit down and wait to be served at this restaurant. We sat outside and after some time, a waitress appeared and asked who was first. The only other couple outside said we were, and she took our order. However, we were disappointed when the other couple who had ordered after us were served first. We waited and waited as we saw them serving other tables inside the cafe and from the counter. We had to leave because we were approaching the limit of our parking time. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this restaurant based on the service we received.

"This cafe is fantastic. They make the best toasted sandwiches ever! A must-try. Their milkshakes are also very tasty. I highly recommend this place."

"I recently moved to Thanet and decided to try out Fredericks in Westgate for lunch. We didn't have a reservation, but the staff were very accommodating and found us a table downstairs for our group of four. The service was excellent, the food was delicious - the panini sandwiches were especially impressive. We will definitely be returning, but next time we will make sure to book ahead since it's located next to the cinema and can get quite busy. Overall, a lovely cafe and we can't wait to try their cakes next time. Thank you for a great experience!"

As a visitor to the area I walked with my dog to find coffee and after 3 miles (from Minnis Bay I stumbled on this absolute beaut of a tea room. Dog friendly and with delicious hot coffee to take away with a slice of one of the best lemon drizzle cakes I’ve ever had (complete with fork! . My dog and I were made to feel very welcome by staff and the owner. Will definitely be back! Thank you for a great start to my day!

After over 25 years in Westgate we’ve discovered this gem on our doorstep. The food, staff and cakes are wonderful. Only sorry I didn’t spot this before but now a firm favourite and thoroughly recommended.
