I had a wonderful experience at Colina. Everything I ate and drank was excellent, especially the shrimp burger and the lemon tart. The restaurant is conveniently located, looking right out to the coastline. It had a very cosy and inviting atmosphere, which was helped by the wonderful staff.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Colina Restaurant for my Birthday party in Margate and it was an exceptional experience. The food was outstanding, particularly the baby chicken and clams dishes among others,The flavors were perfectly balanced and left me wanting more. The waiting staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The open rooftop facilities added a special touch, allowing us to enjoy our time with a breathtaking view. I highly recommend Colina Restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Margate.

Fantastic spot in Margate! The food is great, we had the octopus salad, crab tagliatelle, bavette and deserts, highly recommend the peach sorbet for dessert. The atmosphere is cozy, and they even allow dogs, which was a huge plus. We were served by Harry, who was very welcoming. Highly recommend this place for both locals and visitors! 10 out of 10, would dine here again 😁

Trevor is fantastic and has helped us ensure smooth running of our busy restaurant operation. We have had a few electrical situations where we have needed his advice and urgent call outs and he has been a pleasure to work with. Thank you Trevor! Matt Sworder www.cornerhouserestaurants.co.uk

Trevor came as expected and put plugs in my shed so that I can charge my scooter there - very helpful and pleasant man. Couldn't wish for better and will certainly call him next time I need some electrical work done.

One of the best tradesmen I've ever had work for me, reliable and well priced I usually find other tradesmen are usually difficult to get ahold of, or won't show up when they say, or charge ridiculous prices. I've never had this problem with Trevor We've used him for big and small jobs, and he's always great at what he does.

Responsive, efficient, professional services. Trevor always goes the extra mile to resolve any electrical issues on the same day. Would highly recommend to others. Have used this company for quite a few years for large and small jobs.

The best coffee shop in Margate. Staff are fantastic, always up for a chat and make the effort to remember conversations. Dog friendly as well. The coffee is great, as are the cookies. If you're in Margate, GIANT is well worth your time and money.

White Spark Electrical

I cannot recommend Mark at White Spark highly enough, we were in the process of ripping out our kitchen & Mark hit the ground running, understanding the brief & what we wanted to achieve. Nothing was too much trouble & any extras we needed weren’t an issue. Due to a part of the kitchen being delivered late he had to make extra visits & again always arrived with a smile & got to work. If you are planning to use a reliable local electrician I would strongly advise you to get Mark to quote you, you won’t be disappointed.

Just had Mark finish a small job for me. Fit me in at short notice so I could have it done before the holidays. Very happy with how the job turned out and a friendly service while it was carried out. Will use him again in the future and highly recommend others to give him a call.

After quoting up for a new fuse box and a couple of smaller jobs, Mark arrived on time and completed everything and a few tripping issues on the way. I was interested in what he was doing and he explained along the way. Mark was very professional, completed the work within the time frames set and tidied up after. Not only do we have a safe fuse box, but a working light and socket! Highly recommend, so much so he's going to be doing some work for my dad. Thank you

Great service from Mark at White Spark. We were STRESSED when hubby drilled through an electric cable on Friday night, but Mark came through at 7pm and managed to get our lights back on! Very happy with his service and with the reasonable price! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend :)

We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant while looking for somewhere to eat in Margate. We were welcomed in to eat despite it being the end of a long day for the restaurant team and without a booking. The decor is beautiful, the staff were warm and friendly and the food... we were impressed. It's delicate and delicious with options to suit lots of tastes. The price was very reasonable for the quality we experienced. Thank you 🙏

I live in a listed 500 yr old house and could never find a company who could give us exactly what we needed whilst retaining the integrity of the property. These guys came up trumps and i could not recommend them more highly. Efficient, friendly and very competitive. Thank you, I’ll be using you again!

Brilliant new addition to Margate offering something new to the town. This is becoming a bit of a regular spot for me on a Saturday when i have some time off. The team are always up for a chat and it’s very welcoming when i pop in on my own. Lovely wines and small plates and a gorgeous sunny spot.

We read an online review and so glad we made the journey to visit. Not easy to find as off the sea front but absolutely worth making an effort. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We booked a counter seat as like to watch the food being prepared and definitely the best seats. Each dish served by the chef who took time to explain the food. Every dish was a winner - deep fried chicken with togarashi (so good would have been happy to pay more for), smoked duck, cured bream and potatoes with shelled broad beans and goats cheese. Everything that left the pass looked so good we wish we had ordered. Talked into sharing the strawberry pavlova with fig oil for dessert and it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Thank you, just wish we lived a little closer.

A hidden gem and well worth a visit for something a bit different. A small and lovingly prepared fresh menu which screams of passion and talent and a wine list that perfectly compliments the food ethos. A foodies dream! The service was flawless as was the venue. The attention to detail is clear to see throughout. We’ll be back for sure.

Lovely service , beautiful food, very chilled atmosphere. The perfect way I like to dine out. We loved the food especially the beetroot tart….I could live on those ! The pear terrine was perfect for me as it wasn’t too sweet. Everywhere needs a Pomus! Looking forward to returning on our next visit to the Kent coast.

A sensational addition to Margate! I recently had an exceptional dining experience at Pomus in Margate. The bream ceviche was a stroke of genius, balancing freshness and flavour perfectly. The focaccia was a standout, delightfully soft with a perfect crust, paired with the most delicious anchovy butter. Pairing our meal with a bottle of Chapel Down Bacchus elevated the experience, adding a crisp and refreshing note. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended for anyone seeking great food and great service.

If you want the best cooked English breakfasts in Cliftonville this and Cafe Kussan are the best. Cafe Kussan has slightly larger portions and a more welcoming atmosphere. However the service was always polite and friendly. Food quality is a notch higher here they use tiger bread for their toast and of particular note if you want higher quality coffee come here (their machine is excellent for Americano's). Both are well cooked not greasy and priced similarly. I normally alternate between both Cafes.

Lovely fresh tasting food cooked to perfection. The service is the best margate, as is the cleanliness. The menu is massive, the prices can't be beat, and the list of home cooked meals is fabulous, good-sized tables, and actual comfy seats (unlike most other places round margate) all well spaced. If you fancy a 'proper' cafe experience, you simply must try Cafe Aroma 👌 👏 👍 😍

Matt has just rewired my whole flat and I must say I am very impressed. He was very polite, professional and straightforward from first contact through to completion. Gave me a price and stuck to it. Then carried out the work to a very high standard as promised above and beyond. And no mess!! Really careful with my property. What else could I ask for. He is definitely in my list of trusted professional tradesmen and he is a a really nice guy to boot.

Had dear Mathew to rewire my property as the old electrics just weren’t safe for my family. He was always on time and worked until late with such patience even when we hit some complications. His workers were all amazing and could be trusted completely (even working hard whilst we weren’t in the country) . Half way through the job I asked if he’d add some lights into my soffits and he’s done a wonderful job! He also recommended our painter and decorator who again did an absolutely fabulous job! Thankyou Mathew highly recommend.

Matthew was recommended to us for some new garden lighting, connecting a hot tub and to check some existing cabling for safety reasons. He soon put our minds at ease sorting the existing cabling and installed the new lighting and hot tub connection (which included a re jig of the main fuse box). He was punctual, very polite and his workmanship was excellent. Also the cost of the work was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Matthew for any work you may be thinking of!
