Best gluten free fish and chips we've had. Very friendly staff too. I recommend a visit if you're in Herne Bay. Try the Haddock 🐟

Lovely cafe on the seafront at Herne Bay. Nice view from window seats. Coffee good, I had Americano, and partner had Latte. Free WiFi, comfortable seating, and a nice and clean restaurant area. We had breakfast here, I had the full English, and Partner had the fresh fruit pancakes. All cooked fresh and served nice and hot. There was nothing to complain about. This place is worth a visit if your passing.

Friendly staff, efficient service, lovely food. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We didn't take any cakes away this time but I can assure you that the cakes are gorgeous and portion sizes are huge! I would highly recommend this venue.

Lovely lovely accommodating staff. Helped me with the cake I brought in for my friends birthday, took pictures for us and were generally cheery and attentive even in busy times. We had waffles and crepes, extremely sweet but we enjoyed them. Beautiful area and decorations.

Lunch at the coast on a sunny day. Lovely! Plenty of menu options in addition to the normal seaside fish and chips. Very generous portions. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Umbrellas provide shade. Musical accompaniment from a saxophonist, but recorded backing track was intrusive at times.

Cleaned, tidy, with plenty to choose on their menu. Plus, it's a great location with plenty of tables. It seems the restaurant is dog friendly as a couple were at a table with their dog. Dog behaved 100%. I had the lasagne, which before ordering I asked if there were any mushrooms in it. Was told there wasn't. After removing the mushrooms in my lasagne, I found it to be very tasty. Good job I am not allergic to mushrooms. I just don't like them. Despite this, I would recommend, as for me, I enjoyed my visit.

Great gluten free fish and chips right on the sea front! Quick, delicious and I had no reaction afterwards as a coeliac. Only took a star off as it’s an extra £3 for gluten free batter on the fish. The batter was delicious and crispy though!

Lovely staff and lots of ice cream to choose from and they do sorbet too if you are lactose intolerant or have any other milk allergy. I chose mango sorbet with mango sauce , it was lovely! And not bad prices for right on the beach front. Very clean 👍
