Great food, fantastic flavours, and great service, well worth a visit. The tables are really spacious, much more space than some other local restaurants.

The Smokehouse in Broadstairs. This little restaurant has been taken over by Vince, an enthusiastic and passionate owner. He’s welcoming and can’t do enough. I called several weeks ago to book a table for my family and in particular my daughter whose birthday it was. He asked how I has heard about them, and I explained that about 3 years ago we went there, again for my daughters birthday, where we had a super time, great food and nice staff. So when he told me he had just taken it over, and hoped we would have just as good a time as the previous occasion, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. We arrived at the designated time, to a warm welcome and shown to our table. Vince came to take the drinks order and offered a plethora of various types of gin along with many types of tonic….who knew there were so many types! The drinks came along with the food menu. We sat for some time perusing the menu, and decided on our dinners. Wendy, our waitress took our orders and we chatted between ourselves for a little while, when the starters arrived. 2 Prawn cocktails, 1 shell on prawns with a delicious chilli sauce and 1 deep fried mozzarella balls with a chilli dip, and grilled halloumi cheese with sweet chilli dip, all plates cleared and 4 happy customers. There was silence as we ‘hmmmed’ and sighed with each mouthful. There was never a long wait between courses, so when the mains arrived we all tucked in. 1 rare ribeye, 1 medium ribeye, 1 pulled pork burger and 1 smokehouse beef burger, along with the sides, which included 3 portions of chunky chips and 1 bacon and herb croquet, out of everything there the side dish that stood out was the onion rings, thin, crispy and the batter was so fine, these are a must!!! Again we all ate up and enjoyed the food. Don’t change the butcher, the ribeye was sooo tender, tasty and beautifully cooked. We weren’t sure wether a pudding was in order, but it was my girls birthday, so we made room on the waist bands!!! 1 profiteroles (yummmeee) 1 sticky toffee pudding with custard, 1 chocolate brownie cake with ice cream and 1 millionaire shortcake with ice cream. Needless to say, after all that, there were 4 full and happy ladies, I asked each of my girls what mark they would offer if asked. With no hesitation it was 4 nines. Just a few tweaks here and there and you’ll get a full house. Considering you have been open for a matter of weeks…bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you Vince and staff, a lovely evening was had by all. Ps, the atmosphere was nice but too much chat from a large table of lads about football, who knew there was 3 hours of it to listen to? ,

I decided to book a table in advance, just to be safe, especially after reading the reviews! Gotta say that all the food was absolutely delicious but for me, from the sharing platter, the corn on the cob, that looked like ribs, were top notch. The texture and rub was extremely moreish and something completely new. We had Ribeye, Pulled Pork Burger and Grilled Fillet of Salmon with King Prawns for mains. The owner Vince was extremely polite, informative and enthusiastic for his food and if we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back for more!

Myself, my partner and my daughter had the most amazing meal here Friday. The fillet steak was SOO good! The prawns I had were the best I’ve had in a long time. We had a lovely chat with Vincent the owner he couldn’t have done more for us! Even the meats and fish are locally sourced from the best best butchers and fishmongers, you could tell too. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Reasonably priced so it makes it family friendly, Will definitely be coming back.

My friends and I came here for my birthday and I couldn't ask for a better meal. The staff were amazing and the food was just as good. Would highly recommend to anyone when you're in Broadstairs. The free birthday lemon meringue pie was a bonus
