Food in Margate

The arrival of The Turner Gallery back in 2011 and the revival of Dreamland, a vintage-style theme park, a few years later have transformed Margate and made it a popular town for visits. While Turner invigorated the art scene, restaurants are also enjoying a revival. Here is a selection of some of the best.
Good pizzas, located directly opposite the Loft. They provide take out food so you can eat their pizzas whilst enjoying the fantastic views from the Loft.
