As good a thin crust pizza as you'll find. Had top reviews from the broadsheets but is still cheap and great with the kids. Best view over the beech too.

Worth the journey over to Ramsgate (we get The Loop bus) for brilliant Japanese food. The prices are a fraction what you'd pay in any city but the quality is right up there.

Great Italian, the perfect spot for lunch on a day trip to Broadstairs. The antipasto is particularly recommended. And you can sit outside on a sunny day.
