The Best Restaurants in Herne Bay, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Went there Saturday 6th January approx 1pm. The staff was very attentive. Helped me find a table with my granddaughter and got me a highchair, colouring for her to do. Pub was very busy, but they made time for me. Appreciate it very much.

Went expecting more American style BBQ and ended up having amazing Mexican Food!!!! So hard to find good mexican 🌮🌯 food here in the UK so very pleased!!! Highly recommend the Chimichanga!!! The Beef was moist, tender and full of flavour!!!!

We haven't been welcomed anywhere this nice for a long time. Great food, great service, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I highly recommend it. You can have a great meal with your friends, family and children xx

Small venue with tasteful themed decor. Quiet when we visited but out of peak season. Lovely food and great service.

Nice restaurant and good service. The Thai green curry was very tasty (slightly different form traditional version, more creamy) and comes with rice so good value. Complimentary Thai crackers and the complimentary dessert was a nice touch. Will definitely visit again. A lively lunch.

A superb little place in Herne Bay. If someone prefers to eat delicious Asian foods for reasonable prices, Coconut Tree is a perfect choice. We had crispy aromatic ducks, noodles with mixed seafoods, and Thai green chicken curry. Everything was tasty, and we had good portions. We are going to visit again

This is a lovely Japanese restaurant with a brilliant takeaway service. We have only tried the Katsu Curry with noodles so far but I’m sure the rest of the menu is equally excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent and the staff are equally so friendly that they gave me a complimentary dessert of marshmallow fritter with ice-cream. Delicious!!

Really friendly place, great to pop in for a main at lunch time or a full-on meal for a special occasion. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is superb. We went for a quick lunch with friends this time but looking forward to going back soon for starters as well with the family - looking forward to those garlic prawns. Lovely!

Excellent first experience here. Our waitress Courtney was fabulous. So good at her job we didn’t have to ask for anything, she was just on it! Food & atmosphere was great too. Compliments to the chefs. We will be back 😊

Well this was a surprise, I took my friend out for Lunch, we were going to try “Table Table”, so glad we chose Miller & Carter. It had been a Harvester, now refurbished, we were greeted by a friendly chap at the reception desk, and shown to a table, we had not made a reservation I’m sure it gets busy here! I was impressed by the set Lunch menu, £16.95 for two courses or £19.95 for three! We both chose fillet mignon 5 oz (a £6.50 supplement) with different side sauces, it came with deep fried onion, tomato and chunky chips which were perfect for dipping in the sauce too! Sides were extra, my choice was Garlic Button Mushrooms £3.95 And a glass of Malbec for my friend £ 9.25 for a small glass! And I had a small Pepsi ! Staff friendly and helpful telling us about how the steaks were cooked!

I want to personally say a massive thank you to Debbie, Our host. She was very kind and helpful and didn’t fail to make our first visit warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, tender and well presented. Thank you to all the chefs for their amazing food and of course each and everyone that made our first visit enjoyable.

What a brilliant night I chose to book my 21st at miller and Carter this evening where Lee took care of us! There was 9 of us tonight and the service was brilliant we never had an empty glass and the food was spot on Lee constantly was checking on us to make sure we were all having a lovely time and if there was anything we needed She was amazing highly recommend miller and Carter herne bay and even better if Lee is your waitress Thank you

Excellent food - the best chicken tikka masala I’ve had in a very long time. Zain was very attentive and friendly. We look forward to returning!

What a fantastic spot for authentic Indian flavors with a family-friendly vibe!!! The Butter Chicken and Lamb Nihari are rich and flavorful, while vegetarian options like Paneer Tikka are equally satisfying. Don’t miss their Gulab Jamun and Kashmiri Chai for a sweet finish. With a kids’ menu and warm, welcoming staff, it’s a perfect choice for families and food lovers alike. Highly highly highly recommended!

We went in last night as a group of friends. As we are from Asian backgrounds we know what an authentic Pakistani food should taste like and we were not disappointed. The food was fantastic, cooked to perfection, authentic taste and good size portions. It was good value for money and we were served by a very polite member of staff. Will definitely go back

Our first visit to Casa Mia and were greeted as though we were their only customers. We hadn't booked, but they did everything to find my wife and I a table given they were fully booked, so on that front, it was excellent service. The restaurant was run very well given the unusual layout and, again, treated us very well indeed. Food was of excellent quality and well presented but surprisingly not too expensive, so even better. If a fault had to be found, then I might say a little salty, although that might just be the type of chosen pizza. Still, the pizza was excellent, and all was consumed. It is most definitely a place to return to when we visit Herne Bay again. Thank you, Casa Mia We live nearly 200 miles away, so whilst visiting family again, my wife and I decided to pop back in to Casa Mia, given that we remembered what it like the last time, and we were not disappointed. Great service and superb pizza. The flavours evoked memories of when we were in Italy, so that would surely tell you something. Not much else to add other than a thank you to the staff there and again, a great pizza restaurant with plenty of accolades and recommendations from professionals, and that surely says something. I'd recommend this place and we'll certainly return for another meal there. Ps, my added photo of a slice of pizza doesn't do it justice. I nearly forgot to get a photo as I was keen to tuck in.

Nice place great staff v good tasty food plenty of food too , nicely decorated

Great pizza and pasta. Very authentic and tasty.

Very nice place in the middle of Herne bay . Absolutely stunning service , the waitress was so nice with us . Pizza tasted really good probably a bit smaller that expected considering the price tag and how looked in the plate . Overall absolutely recommended .

Great food and great tasting coffee and huge value for money first time I tried this and was not disappointed 😀 recommend a visit

The most fantastic place for a light lunch on the pier, nice prices and good sized portions! Not one to be missed

Good little hut on the pier that serves fun drinks and tasty food.

Dined at Charlie’s on a Sunday afternoon with my partner and two young daughters. Situated just off the seafront, with plenty of parking nearby, Charlie’s is a convenient place to stop and grab a bite. Staff were friendly and efficient and the menu had plenty to choose from at very reasonable prices. My partner and children went for the Carvery, while I opted for the roast beef ciabatta. All very nice, although my roast beef was a little on the gristly side. Would certainly recommend, the outdoor seating area would be very nice on a warm day.

What a gem of a restaurant overlooking Herne Bay sea front. We had a lovely meal comprising pate with onion chutney; chicken with king prawns in a rich creamy sauce with Jersey Royal potatoes and salad; chocolate Truffle cake for dessert: I had cream and Hubby opted for Salted Caramel ice cream. All courses beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

The service was fantastic, amazing and friendly waitresses and the owner came out for a chat too. We used a Groupon voucher and unlike other places where you get treated like second class citizens we were treated like royalty - kudos to the staff. Again even with a Groupon deal the food was really high quality and delicious. The hot fish platter and scallops are must orders!

A great wonderful evening had at the 70s Night. Looking forward to the School Dinners' Evening in later in the month. Food is great, staff are absolutely wonderful, polite and friendly. Love the family atmosphere. Well done Sean, Lauren and staff. See you soon.

On arrival to what appears to be just another pub on a corner you are met with a fresh and modern interior. It's no micropub but the bar area is a bit of a squeeze they serve local ales, larger and stouts as you would hope and a large selection of spirits, prices for a drink are as reasonable as any other good pub. I went as part of a party of 6. We were shown through to a restaurant area at the rear that was warm and as welcoming as the main bar area. My 1st and only grumble is that they have bench seats which are far too low for table. The menu & food. The menu is select it had a couple of options per dietary style (vegetarian, fish and meat) I sampled the delights of the confit of duck spring rolls which were packed full of meat and flavour and presented in an appealing way. For mains I had tried jack fruit, not because I was trying to be a trendy vegan but as it sounded amazing, (which it was)a large portion was presented that again was packed full of flavour and something of a rarity extremely filling. Desert selection is again refined to about 8 dishes catering for most tastes, I had some sorbets which were very nice and refreshing. We were lucky as there was entertainment provided by means of a band called 6 shades of grey, very good band which we could hear on the restaurant area without it being intrusive to the conversation. Overall amazing food, friendly staff and atmosphere, limited menu that's worth reading before you go to check you would eat some thing.

Great selection of beers here which was the best thing about the pub. I was really pleased to see Murphy's which I haven't seen in many places at all. The service was inexplicably slow when I popped in and I am not really sure why. Pricing for beer is ok.

It was welcoming and warm on a cold Christmas Eve but can be quite noisy as expected when quiet. We came for a drink while waiting for takeaway and there was such a mixture of different people, young and older, families and couples, groups of friends. There’s bar games out back which were popular, especially with the young party kids. Bar service was friendly and efficient with plenty of beers on tap and other drinks available.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch here! The staff are incredibly friendly, decor is stunning and the roast dinner did not disappoint! Kids pasta portion was huge too and so good! There is a garden area if you want outdoor dining. A two minute walk from the beachfront, definitely worth a visit if you are on holiday in Herne Bay x

Have been twice now to The Key. On both occasions we've had excellent service, the coffee is delicious and when we had lunch the other day it was fabulous, I can't recommend enough. I also had an ice cream to take out - Omg delicious. Can't wait to visit again.

Been here twice now when visiting Herne Bay & it’s become my go to for a coffee! Staff are really lovely & the coffee & cake is really tasty as well. Lovely calm atmosphere in there too, looking forward to returning.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Staff were an absolute delight. So friendly and kind. Chatted to us and really made our day! Food was lovely. Cafe clean and cakes looked amazing (although we didn’t have any). Would definitely recommend!

First visit with friend and will return. Fabulous coffee and cake and loved the decor
