Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Whitstable

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my mum today. It was a 90th birthday present. Lovely room with open fire in panelled lounge area. Food selection plentiful and enough for us but would of enjoyed a bigger slice of the lovely sausage roll ! Top up of tea and tastings of others allowed if required. Relaxed atmosphere, some diners conversation a little louder than others but it didn't bother us too much. Lovely Christmas decorations. Service ok but appeared to be one lady on her own. She managed ok though.

Welcoming, warm on a freezing cold day, excellent staff from cloakroom to front of house. Attentive, but not overbearing. Made us feel very special. Food appealed to all 4 of us and was enjoyed. Relaxing, not rushed. Overall, a great experience and can’t wait to go back.

I’ve been to maddogs & Englishman quite a few times over the last year and every single time I go, I have such a brilliant experience with all the different themes that they go for. I’m never disappointed and always thoroughly enjoy it. I think my friend and I will be making a yearly visit!!!

The host who seated us was very informative with suggestion about the portion sizes and menu options. Our waitress was great my drink was always topped up and checked with us and the beginning and end of our main meal and dessert. We had the fondue for 2 which, whilst very overpriced, was amazing with the fire to roast the marshmallow and the chocolate dip for the fruit was out of this world. The honey butter boneless chicken and chips both cooked with MSG were the best I’d ever tasted. Outstanding place

All was good. Waitress was excellent, although the music could be a little quieter
