"I came to Broadstairs looking for lobster, none in Broadstairs. So I settled for the Pavilion restaurant. Big place loads of seats indoors and outdoors.
Usual menu that everyone seems to be doing. I settled on a latte while I chose, smaller than usual. I asked what the fish was reply was cod. So I had Fish, chips and mushy peas. Fish size only medium the batter was good except I don't like skin on fish so half the batter was wasted. Not much peas and a novelty tartar sauce dipped lemon. So no squeezing. All came hot. All the food I saw being served looked ok."
Steven Blench
"Great spot for food. We sat out on the terrace and had the seafood ciabattas with chips... absolutely sublime.
Really great service, with a friendly team, and even better food. I saw lots of people having fish and chips, and it looked delicious too.
With many levels to sit on, and options indoors too, there are plenty of tables to sit at, even on busy days."
Rachel Bridge
