A lovely little restaurant in a great setting. All of the food was reasonably priced and the portions/quality of the food was amazing. Really impressed with every aspect of the experience and can’t wait to come back!

We met other members of the family here yesterday, it was our first time. Food & service was really good & the staff was very polite & helpful. Would visit again perhaps when the weather is warmer.

If you are looking for a bargain - this isn't the place. If you are looking for quality, variety, exceptional customer service - this IS the place to come! Not only has the place got a fish monger, butcher, deli & cheese counter, it has a pizza parlour and a lovely café as well as a wide range of homemade frozen food and a little pet corner outside. The staff here are exceptional and very helpful. The food on sale, especially on the fresh side of things is expensive, for example a scotch egg is £2.75, however, it isn't a supermarket scotch egg! The products we purchased were of the highest quality and they are well worth the extra £! The staff were brilliant, certainly worth shouting about especially the young lady on the deli / cheese counter today who was so nice. Certainly revisiting - Thank You

Went to buy one get one free steak night. Steak was superb. Service was good. A great deal. But ask to see the drinks menu which was not offered don't just order 'a white wine' or a 'lager' when asked if they can get you drinks Some of the prices of the drinks were (to me) eye popping when we got the bill at the end. Other than that a great place to go.

We were on a break at Birchington on sea & called in on our first night after arriving & having had a walk up the lovely high street. Dog friendly on one side of the bar/restaurant. Traditional looking and very well decorated, cosy & comfortable. Hubby ordered drinks and food. Staff very friendly, food came in a timely fashion, & as expected it was hot and tasty. We visited again the night before we returned home. We would highly recommend & would definitely return if we came back to the area 👍 Didn't give the rooms a star rating as we weren't staying in them. Hope that helps?

We found The Powell by chance and what a fabulous place. It was fish & chips night. The food was excellent quality and also good portions. Beer was also well kept. Bring a Friday there was also music. The musician was very good, who also sang happy birthday for our friend. Also very dog friendly

We visited for a mother's day meal, one of our party has special dietary requirements, which was discussed when the booking was made. There was an issue with this on arrival, however the chef came and spoke to our family member with the dietary requirements. The chef kindly rectified the issue and even gave us this meal on the house. The roast was very nice and the apple crumble was without a doubt the best I've ever tasted.

A good dentist is something that we should all be entitled to and I have just discovered mine Having enjoyed one for many years I had no idea that he was so exceptional until he retired Since his retirement my experience was not good until my appointment last week She is a natural progression from him and as a nervous patient I am delighted to once again feel confident in going to the dentist

Rating: 4.4 (643) Price Level:
Came here for the Bottomless brunch offer at £40 for food and cocktails/beer (90mins). The food is divine! I don’t even like ribs but they were heavenly 😋 They were really forthcoming with the drinks and you didn’t feel limited. We wizzed our way through all the Xmas themed cocktails. Grinch a firm favourite. The staff really friendly and served us drinks continually. No waiting around. Place has a lovely setup. Lots of other themed nights and events. Highly recommend.

Well....the Cow Shed smashed it!!! You always know a place is good for a roast when their potatoes and veg are cooked well. The amount of places I've been to where we've been served dried up undercooked veg. We had Christmas dinner here, the meat was tender and not overcooked in the slightest, the potatoes were crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle and the veg was cooked just right for me. The portions were very generous. We also had amazing sausage meat stuffing, big pigs in blankets and delicious cauliflower cheese. Just to top it off the Yorkshire pudding was lovely. We also had a starter and pudding which were tasty. We actually took food home as we were so full. The staff were lovely and friendly. Couldnt do enough for us. My 2 year old niece wasn't happy as she didn't get brought her own plate of food (she doesn't eat loads so shared a bit of everyones). Well the lady realised this and brought her over her own little plate of food and my niece was thrilled. Overall it was a lovely time, brilliant atmosphere and a great Christmas!

We had our Christmas dinner here and would highly recommend. Service was incredible, food was next level and just overall experience was top notch. We've never had Christmas dinner out and this didn't disappoint! 100% would recommend
Rating: 4 / 5
Have been here a few times. Sometimes have had to wait a long time for food, and only one toilet (I think!), but the Sunday roasts are absolutely fantastic. Today's no exception. Vegetables a lovely medley of curly kale, leeks, and then roasted parsnip and carrot. Tasty meat, and roast potatoes, and Yorkshires excellent. Slightly smaller portion than last time, but that meant you actually had a chance of eating it all! Friendly staff. A good visit.

The Smugglers catered for our mum's 70th birthday today, we chose afternoon tea for 30 people. The service was great, very attentive warm and accommodating. The sandwiches were tasty, ham was particularly nice. The cakes and scones were outstanding, warm and freshly baked scones with proper clotted cream and jam were absolutely delicious. Their regular menu looked good so will have to go back to try it.

What a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day, had the set menu, was super tasty and I thought the price was very good considering taste & service. I had the sweet chilli halloumi, fillet Rossini and Baileys cheesecake. Thoroughly enjoyed all three courses.
Rating: 5 / 5
The Smugglers held a wake for my family. They produced sandwiches, cake, coffee and tea. Perfect for our needs that day. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Communication before the event was efficient. They have very limited parking, but there is parking pay and display a short distance away. I would recommend.

We celebrated our wedding at the Smuggler's Inn in May. As a wedding venue and family-run restaurant, we highly recommend this beautiful historic place! Bob, Lisa and the team were incredibly helpful, transparent and communicative and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The venue cost and three course meals were very reasonably priced so that we were able to have the small wedding we wanted without restricting ourselves! Our friends and family had nothing but praise for the food, everyone was very impressed. The function room can be decorated nicely, and the Smugglers has a lovely outdoor area where a ceremony can be held. We've also dined at the Smugglers before and admired the home-cooked quality of the food, the fact they serve a bread roll and butter with dinner, and the obvious passion of the owners for their restaurant. Uploading some pictures of the venue and food shot by the amazing Jade Brya Photography (also active in Thanet and highly recommended!)

The Swan, Westgate-on-Sea
75 Sea Rd, Westgate-on-Sea CT8 8QG, UK | Pub P: 01843 831401
Rating: 4.4 (938) Price Level:
This establishment is a gem right on the sea front, great choice of beers spirits and wine in a relaxed and very comfortable environment. Staff are very friendly and efficient, not in your face but there if you need them. Their Sunday carvery is delicious and great value with a competitive price, set in a spacious and tastefully dressed wing of the building. Michelle..... the proprietor, is so pleasant, engaging and just wants to please her clientele. Can't more recommend you give this establishment a go, because you, like myself will simply want to return again and again.

I’m an American visiting Westgate-on-Sea where I found the food, service, and ambiance at the Swan absolutely fantastic. The baked camembert was delicious as was the sea bass and my dinner companion’s Thai curry. Our server was extremely attentive and courteous, and the roaring fire and Christmas decorations made for a very cozy atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Rating: 5 / 5
We were on a hike and decided to take a break at The Swan and keep enjoying the beautiful views of the sea. I ordered the Sunday carvery but I can only agree with the praise from previous reviewers. It wasn’t just delicious, the portion was also great. A friend ordered a battered fish and he was also satisfied with the quality of the food. I definitely recommend the carvery.

Lovely pub, but no easy parking areas. There is a great view from this pub and they do instant table service which was fast and the staff were really friendly I had the hunters chicken which was okay but not the best I’ve ever had.

Lovely dog friendly reasonably priced good portioned food. Great on a hot summer's day. There is an ice cream shak next door and it's a short drive to Margate. On Sundays they do not do sandwiches on their menu. Instead they have a Sunday roast instead.

The food was beautiful and well presented! Lovely atmosphere, cosy and calm with excellent service! Only thing I could ask for is more veggie options as they seem limited for the dinner menu. 100% will be back again

A beautiful view and the sunset was amazing. We all had fish and chips, it was nice, the chardonnay was lovely. A good atmosphere, dog friendly in the bar and outside eating area, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.
Rating: 4 / 5
Lovely view and great place to meet some dogs! We ordered some traditional fish & chips and a sea bass fillet. The fish was fresh, full of flavour, and nicely cooked. The cod didn't have too much batter and the sea bass was juicy and not overcooked. We had to wait ages to get our order however and I think in total it took about 75 minutes from sitting down to eating, despite us being ready to order straight away. The view is pretty lovely facing the seaside.
