We walked here from Whitstable along the beach and had a delicious Sunday roast. We booked over email for a 12:00 table, and there was a queue outside for 10mins before they opened, which felt like a good sign. The place was super busy as soon as they opened so definitely worth booking. Between us we had the chicken wings and brie for starter. Both came with a lovely fresh salad and were very tasty. We then had the turkey and pork roast, which came with some of the best roast potatoes I've eaten and a wide range of veg, including cheesy leeks. I went for the Moroccan Nut roast, over the beetroot and butternut squash Wellington, but both sounded lovely. At first sight, I thought I'd made a mistake! But the nut roast was lovely; really unusual. None of us could fit a pudding in, but they looked good too! All of the waiting staff were really friendly, despite being super busy, so all round a very good lunch. Glad we made that choice!

First time here for food on Sunday. Wow, the prawn and crayfish cocktail was amazing. They do not skimp on the shrimp 😊 Myself and family had a roast. It was absolutely lovely, again, generous portions and lovely and fresh. Super friendly and helpful staff too. We will be back

Drive along the front away from Herne Bay, up the hill - and there's The Hampton Inn below, with the sea behind. It sits on a traffic island, with plenty of free on-road parking about.
Coming into the pub, I was struck by how busy it was. It is clearly very popular with OAPs but also families with small children and people with dogs. Judging by the events listed on the board, it seems to be a thriving community hub.
The windows ensure that the place is very airy with plenty of sunlight and a sea view. The location is much quieter and more relaxed than Herne Bay proper. Just a few wind surfers out on the water outside.
The decor feels perhaps more like a coffee shop than a traditional pub, but I suppose this chimes in with the setting.
The food was very reasonably priced and quite decent (standard British pub grub). The prawn and crayfish sandwich was really good as was the vegetarian lasagna.

Loved our first visit to The Hampton Inn and will definitely be returning! The Hampton is a good 25 min walk from the centre of Herne Bay but it's well worth the effort. The aspect of the pub is stunning looking out over the bay towards Tankerton and Whitstable. Great selection of well cooked local foods complemented by good local ales. My wife and I had the Fish and Chips and our daughter the Veg Lasagne. There was certainly no room for dessert but we just had to try one, and the cheesecake didn't disappoint. Overall, great food, lovely serving staff and dog friendly too...what's not to like!

Lovely pub in a great spot and on the plus side, walking distance from Seaview Holiday Park.
The staff were lovely and friendly.
The place is also dog friendly too.
Unfortunately, we were unable to eat here, albeit the food smelt lovely. The menu looked good with reasonable prices. We did manage to enjoy a pleasant drink on the outdoor seating, enjoying the sun and views.
We will visit and book to eat if we return to the area

Thought we'd try here for Sunday lunch as passed it many times in the past and some recent reviews looked good. It's an interesting lay out with half the pub laid out with restaurant style tables (complete with red / white cheque tablecloths) and the other half feeling more regular pub, large windows mean you get a good sea view which was nice.
Food wise we had soup and pate to start, both well presented and tasty. Could have done with some nice chunks of crusty bread rather than basic quality baggette and white bread toast.
Good choice of roasts, pork, turkey, beef or nut roast at around £15. We had the beef; meat was tender and well cooked, the veg was equally well cooked and nicely seasonal with leeks, cabbage, swede and carrot. The only things to improve upon would be possibly the flatest Yorkshire pud we've had and the gravy which lacked any depth of flavour that often pulls a good roast to a great roast.
Having said that, we cleaned our plates and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Couple of good cask ales on tap and we left pretty happy. There were quite a few tables that had bookings so if you're planning to visit, would suggest making a reservation.
Would we go back, maybe we'd stop in if we were passing but next time we're in the area, might look to try somewhere new. Overall and friendly and welcoming place to visit 😊

Lived in Herne bay all my life and this is the first time I have visited Hampton Inn, and shall definitely be returning. Food was lovely. Big portions; nice selection of veg on the side; good menu choices and appropriate prices.

I met up with old work colleagues and the table was reserved for us. We ordered our food and attention was made to ensure one of our meals was not in contact or near any nuts. The owner was very helpful regarding this. I had the ploughman's lunch which was fantastic. All our meals were delicious 😋 I will be taking my husband there soon. Its a delightful place opposite the beach front. Definitely going there again.

Had a lovely beer outside in the sun. Didn't have food but it smelt divine. Spoke to the new land lord who explained they have only been there since September 2016. First visit for me for a while as I now live away from HB. I have known the Inn for many years and would say it is much better than ever. Friendly atmosphere great beer and food choice. Well done

Friendly pub, greeted by a friendly lady behind the bar. The food was lovely. The plates were collected once we had finished our food by a guy who we believe to be the landlord who was also very friendly. Brilliant experience 😀

Great meal as usual Sat 29th April. Although they were very busy ...the order arrived in good time to the table and the food was as hot and tasty as always. Not cheap but excellent quality and well worth paying for. Always leave a good tip as the service is always excellent. Our local pub gets better and better. Well done all involved ! ��

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Hampton Inn. We hadn't booked (3 adults, 1 child) but luckily as we were early they could fit us in. We all enjoyed the food & there was plenty of it too. The staff were friendly & attentive which made it even nicer. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

Good view from the pub food Average beer was ok
Alan Casson
Had a mid-afternoon Sunday lunch recently, on the spur of the moment, and it was great. Food was superb. As was the beer, and it’s a lovely pub too. Booked up for Burns’ Night.

I had a lovely meal at the Hampton Inn last night, 6 of us went for dinner for Love week, having a non-Valentines dinner as we are a bunch of singles. The food was fantastic, and they had gone to a lot of trouble to make the venue Valentines themed, with love heart sweets and heart-shaped chocolates. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so happy to help, Thank you for a fantastic meal, we will be back.

Visited here yesterday for a Sunday roast and what a huge disappointment we both chose the roast sirloin and at £13.50 and for the price we were expecting a decent meal. This was not to be the Yorkshire’s were burnt to a crisp and the potatoes were hardly cooked they were hard and didn’t taste or look like they had been roasted at all!! When I mentioned this on paying I was told “ sorry about that”. Upon leaving we were both still hungry had spent £37 on 2 roast and 2 pints and being our first time here it will also be our last.
Clive Stedman
Superb good value food. The serving of veg included seven different types! Also the service was very considerate.
