Tudor Tea Rooms in Canterbury

Nothing is too much trouble for this first class restaurant. I would recommend to both locals and visitors-all are welcome. All food is tasty and hot. Swops are easy to arrange. Staff friendly. no reason not to visit-all very good value for money.

We had a lovely lunch and the most delicious flavoured sparkling waters (rhubarb and an elderflower). The team kindly accomodated our request for crispy bacon. We were a cover of 3 adults and a baby in a travel system. I did make it clear that we had a travel system and checked that it could be accommodated first. I completely understand if it wasn't appropriate given the layout of the building etc. One waitress was welcoming and showed us the route to the table. This did mean a fellow customer moving her chair. This didn't seem to be an issue, however on exiting the tea rooms, it clearly was a problem. We are sorry that our presence has caused an upset to the a customer. and only wish we were declined entry to avoid issues. I was made to feel very uncomfortable by the situation.

Fantastic service the staff and owner were great nothing to much trouble coffee great food great highly recommended Thank you.

Good food, friendly service. Had baguettes and coffee. Nice traditional decor and they also have a garden area.

My Wife was reading about the Tudor Tea Rooms in Whitstable , in Kent and said she would like to have a " Cuppa " there on our way to Margate . The Tea Rooms were built during the 17th Century and has been beautifully preserved . There is both indoor & outdoor seating and they have a very comprehensive menu , from just a Cup of Tea to a Sunday Roast . We just had Tea & Coffee . We sat at a Table near the Door and beside the Table was a Plaque dedicated to the Late Actor , Peter Cushing who had spent much time in the Tea room as Customer and a Friend . We had a nice time , very friendly and efficient Staff and it was a Lovely "Cuppa"

Popped in for a bit if lunch with my mom, lovely food and lovely staff! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Whitstable

A lovely spot for lunch just away from the harbour. I was a solo diner and was made to feel welcome (there were a few other solo diners at the same time, as well as couples and groups). Food was delicious - good selection on menu. I had one of the daily specials, crab salad with warm minted potatoes. Beautifully presented with prepared white crab meat served in a crab shell.

We were left at the 'wait here to be seated' sign for quite a while, then my partner managed to catch the eye of on of the waitresses, we made our own way to the table. A few minutes later one lady came over with a menu and then left us for about 5 minutes. When she returned, I asked if there were any specials that were vegetarian, to which I was told no. I was offered a jacket potato with cheese & beans, I told her that I was unable to eat potatoes. Her reply was 'what! You don't eat potatoes?', I replied that I couldn't eat them. I was offered a cheese & tomato flan, I then had to say that I didn't eat eggs. So she asked if I could eat prawns (not sure what part of prawns are the vegetarian option that I asked for!!??), I just agreed to have the prawn salad. What arrived was NOT my idea of a salad, it was a portion of prawns, about 4 potatoes cut in half and a small side salad with some coleslaw. Not sure which bit of 'I don't eat potatoes' she had forgotten, either that or she didn't know what the salad was??!! Very limited vegetarian options & no vegan options. We won't be going again.

Went into have a lunch with the family. Was told by a very nice waitress that we could sit over the far back. An older lady who I assume was the manager shouted ‘no no those tables are reserved’. No apology from her or anything. The poor waitress looked embarrassed as this was in front of the whole restaurant. They had no other tables so decided to leave. I would like to say also that there were three tables free without notices on them saying reserved so maybe she just didn’t like children

Food was good value and enjoyed choosing from a British themed menu. Service was good but the experience was spoiled by the state of the loo. How hard can it be to keep the facilities clean, the whole area needed a deep clean, dirty pan, door, walls etc. ugh.

Authentic surroundings. Very helpful staff, advised that dishes were freshly prepared and made an adjustment especially for me to cater for allergy. Rest of party were very happy with their meal.

We visited the Tudor Team Rooms for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the food was very good. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Whistable

Visited today and food was fantastic. I’m a big bloke and like my portions. I left very satisfied . Service was fantastic. Prices a bit steep but I am tight. Big Tone Sidcup

Despite not being very busy we had to wait to be shown to a table. Staff seemed too busy chatting. Menus finally appeared just as we were going to leave. Apart from departing diners and a table that came in after us the place was empty but we felt very ignored. A lady waiter came over to take our order but then started chatting away to departing guests ( clearly regulars) immediately for quite a prolonged time with them standing immediately behind us. How to feel in the way! Cakes are on a small counter near the till so it can be hard to see what they are if people are paying ( and again. chatting). Cake was ok but it was the service that let this place down. Think it must be a haunt for regulars and , if you get into that category, probably a different experience.

On a short visit to Whitstable we wandered the quaint streets and found this quirky cafe to have brunch. It is obviously a very popular choice for both tourists and locals as the place was full as we were leaving after a very enjoyable experience. The breakfast rolls were delicious and the service with a smile. Look forward to a return visit.

Visited today as we had planned a trip to Whitstable to specifically visit here and it didn’t disappoint! We had the set 3 course menu and everything tasted great. It’s traditional food, nothing fancy, but what we did get was great. Lovely polite service from...

Another addition to our Sunday morning breakfast club and this week was Tudor Tea Rooms. The amount of times I’ve walked past this place is ridiculous but I am so glad I went in. Had a mega breakfast and a coffee. First off the name...

Nice and cosy, log fire very welcoming, staff very helpful and attentive. Covid precautions in place with plastic screens between the single tables.

Like to think we are connoisseurs when it comes to Eggs Benedict this was right up there with the best of them. Excellent service and really friendly place…would highly recommend

While walking Whitstable town centre we came across this little gem of a Tea Room. It looked appealing from the outside and offered home made food, so we went in. We decided to sit in the little garden out the back and made use of...

Visited here for lunch and the food and service was excellent. The crab salad was very tasty as was the coronation chicken sandwich and chips. The staff were very friendly and attentive

We have been to the tea rooms 3 times now and every time the breakfast has been excellent can’t fault it! Nicely cooked includes a pot of tea which I think is very good value for what they charge. The service has been excellent as...

We came down for a wedding and wanted an English fry up breakfast the next day - we stumbled across the Tudor Tea Rooms and I’m so glad we did - huge portion and we both said one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had!...

We stopped here on a trip to Whitstable. Beautiful Tudor setting with lovely homemade style food, very traditional, British, and tasty.

We had a warm welcome and lovely lunch here - I really enjoyed the fish pie. It felt very covid safe with screens and hand santiser on all the tables. A must for all Peter Cushing fans as this was a favourite haunt of his...

We popped in here on a very hot day, on a bit of a whim, and were very glad that we did. It was just delightful! The two ladies serving us were very friendly and chatty, which really put us at our ease, and made...

Good welcome good service good food (scampi chips salad/baked potato tuna mayo) good portions and the plate wasn't greasy, lovely pot of tea with loose tea, the restaurant has an old look it's a lovely place to sit and eat/drink , I'd definitely use it again and wish I'd used it more over the years, respect to the Peter Cushing link.

We stopped for lunch on a busy day. Service was swift. We had jacket potato and a salad which were fine, quite expensive for lunch.

This place has never failed to deliver top quality food and service. Friendly staff, and extremely well run. The food has always been top quality, and very well presented.

Nice oldie worldly stop for a drink .Selection of sandwiches, generous portions of cakes with a garden at the back

We absolutely adored our brunch time visit to Tudor Tea Rooms! I had a scone and my partner had eggs Benedict with extra hash browns and we were both stealing from each others' plates as it was so scrummy! A special shout out to the hash browns which we agreed were the best we've ever tasted. Service was impeccable and so personal! Wow! What a lovely little cafe. Jo and Rob x

We ordered a bacon and brie sandwich on brown bread which we shared followed by cherry pie with ice cream. Both were excellent and good value for money. All served with a smile just perfect.

Wonderful and personal service! Spoke to the lovely owner who helped me out! She sorted an afternoon tea delivery at short notice for our grandparents and we were so thankful! Certainly recommended ❤️❤️

Nice tea, nice scones. Lovely place. Shame our waitress was not wearing a mask... We took my mum out for tea and she spent the whole Time sooo scared because of it. She was so worried the waitress was going to give her covid ( plump blond)It would be nice to have a vegan option for cake. Allergic to milk !!!

Ordered cod and chips. Expected far better from a seaside town. Tasted like factory produced frozen breaded cod also looked like it both mine and my wife were identical in shape and size. Tartare sauce served in a minute glass pot. Cheapjb vinegar satchets which were almost impossible to open. Staff OK but nothing special. Decided against dessert as assumed that would also have been mass produced. My wife described the food as canteen style not restaurant.

Great little traditional tea room, beamed ceilings, warming log burner & honest great food! We had an early full breakfast before setting off to explore the area, lovely leaf Earl Grey tea was yummy.

My wife and I only went in for a quick drink but seeing the cakes on show, we was tempted to try one and we was not disappointed. I went for the fruit cake and my wife went for the scone with cream and jam. Entry is a bit confusing as you are asked to wait outside for a member of staff and then there is a sign inside to say wait here, but all good in the end.

12 minutes agoVery friendly and delightful atmosphere when visited on a Saturday by some nice young staff. so decided to go back on the Sunday. However what a difference!. Was greated after entering the tea room with a totaly rude and unfriendly woman demanding I stand outside after politely asking if a table for 4 was available. Virtually pushed out the front door and door actually slammed against my foot in the process. No sign on door Informing this was procedure and considering it was pouring with rain and I had a elderly, disabled lady with us, this was disgusting. She told me that she would have to check her book although I could see tables free.We left and will not return. Obviously don't need the business.

Came here for lunch due to the variety on the menu, I wanted something light and my boyfriend more filling. The old style building and tea rooms was also appealing. Unfortunately the soup I ordered was only warm and so I had to send it back for reheating and it could have been served with more bread. My boyfriend said his fish and chips were nice and there were plenty of options on the menu. Standard cafe style food but don’t expect anything fancy.

This wasn’t my first choice of eatery in Whitstable but it was Bank Holiday and last day of Eat Out To Help Out, so favourites like Wheelers and Samphire we’re booked solid all day. From the outside the Tudor beam style doesn’t look promising. But once you get in you find tasty food and fast, excellent service. I haven’t had such a perfect fish pie and fresh veg for years. Usually u have to hunt the fish under a thick crust of bland mash. Not this time. My pie was bursting with fish, topped with just enough mash and a deliciously cheesy topping. It rocked. Desserts sounded fab too although diet did not permit.

My partner and I were looking for somewhere in whitstable for breakfast and came across Tudor Tearooms, we had never visited before but noticed they did a full English so decided to give it a go.We both opted for the mega breakfast which was HUGE and very much worth the money we paid, with everything you could want on a breakfast. The loose leaf tea was lovely too. The tea room has a lovely atmosphere with lovely friendly staff, we will definitely visit again.

We stopped for scone and tea one morning, and we got a seat in the patio area out the back. That was fine until it filled up, and then I felt that one less table would have been better considering the current virus situation. It seemed like they cut corners..... Our scones were very dry, definitely not fresh, and the jam was spooned into tiny reused jars. I’m all up for reuse, fine, but in this situation it looked like they were being cheap. It would look nicer spooned into a tiny glass bowl/dish. On the plus side, the waitress was very pleasant and there was plenty of hand sanitizer available.

Ordered cod and chips, the cod felt like it's cooked from frozen. Was looking forward to having cod and chips in a seaside town but I'm very disappointed. Would not recommend

First day to eat out to help out thought we would go in to town. Whitstable was packed hard to park. Went to Tudor Rooms as there was not a lot of customers all other seemed full.We found out the reason why later. I ordered the fresh crab salad with a side order of prawn cocktail, my wife had ham egg and chips.Crab was good and fresh in a half shell, prawns were moist and tasty. My wife enjoyed her meal and said the ham was nice and tasty.Went to pay the Bill and found out they weren't doing the promotion. Food quality was good so didn't mind paying full price. See pictures will return no that lockdown has finished.

Really good place for lunch - very busy Sunday in Whitstable so we walked 5 mins from the harbour and got 2 tables straight away. Delicious crab salad and good Covid measures in place, staff kept their distance whilst remaining friendly. Fast service.

Popped in on a busy sunny Saturday, had 2 coffees and 2 scones with jam and cream all very lovely was roughly £12. Slightly pricey but nice location. Nice garden in the back which is a nice touch

Lovely building, really interesting and old fashioned. Staff worked really hard as was busy,, really friendly. Good menu with lots of options and choice of teas which I really like. Had cakes and scones in my party and all were delicious and plentyfull.

Have been back to the Tudor a few times since it opened again after lockdown. They’re so professional: there’s hand sanitizer at the door. They’ve changed the tablecloths to wipe down material. They’ve got less tables. They’re cleaning everything so thoroughly- have seen them doing this when a customer leaves. And very importantly: they are taking down the phone numbers of customers so that if an outbreak were to occur, they can contact you. I’m so impressed - and I feel safer.

Was recommended Tudor tearoom buy a person in the high street whilst looking in a fish restaurant. Apparently all home cooked food my food was ok but my girlfriend opted for lamb with vegetables which to be honest was very very poor to the point of horrible very fatty meat poor vegetables wish we'd gone to a fish restaurant

Visited today I ordered the Sunday roast and ordered the beef. It was tough and tasteless the roast potatoes where stale and had been refried. My daughters chicken salad was over priced. There were 5 scraps of chicken very poor food.

Entramos en este local por su menú de 3 platos por 14.95 libras (bebida no incluida) y pedimos diversos platos ingleses.De primero, la sopa de puerro y patata y bien, luego el lacón, que estuvo bien y era grande, aunque demasiado tocino para mi gusto.El postre no me gustó nada, seguramente por desconocimiento: una tarta de ciruelas con una especie de "natillas" calientes.El servicio bien, pero al final, se hizo lento ya que nos dió la sensación que se "olvidaron" de nosotros y tardaron en recoger los segundos y traer los postres; si bien, el local es acogedor y tienen comida británica típica.

Stayed in Whitstable for the weekend, and had seen the good reviews for The Tudor Tea Rooms, so decided to pop in for lunch.Good varied menu anything from the usual sandwich stuff, to a 3 course lunch.We opted for a prawn, and a ham & cheese baguette with a side of fries. The baguette was lovely and fresh, the ham was lovely and thick cut, however there was a lack of prawns if we're being uber critical, but what there was, was very good.Then we had cake....the Victoria sponge was excellent, and the Bakewell tart was good too.A personal gripe of mine, stop using cheap ketchup!! But that's just me and doesn't affect my rating.Staff really nice, and food good too - worth a visit.

Simple the best breakfast in Whitstable. Menu offers a good selection and swops are always welcome. The staff are always very attentive and make everyone welcome. I recommend as a go to venue- as you will not find anywhere better and the price is fair.

Do you ever go into a restaurant that promises the world and you are really disappointed when they serve the meal? The Tudor Tea rooms isn’t like this, its great, wholesome no nonsense food. Our first meal was lunch piping hot and delicious and reasonably priced. Breakfast was equally as good great bacon in our sandwich great bread. Our Sunday lunch topped it all, several vegetables, lamb that was perfectly cooked. They have several options for dessert (included in the meal price) all delicious and served with speed and smiles - lovely people work here from the waitresses to the excellent chefs - we will return !!!

Always good food at good prices, served by very friendly staff. A classic old style character tea room and restaurant which we hope never changes!

We ate hear for our lunch, on a busy Sunday 1 week before Christmas and were lucky to get a table as they were fully booked. We had the standard 3 course meal which had plenty of choices. The staff were very friendly and helpful and served the food and drinks promptly. The food was very good and served piping hot.

Went in as a family of 5, had Great food. Lovely staff, very friendly! Beautiful building Would defo visit again and recommend.

Yes, black beams with the odd horse brass affixed, blue and white willow pattern plates perched in niches, red and white gingham tablecloths, wow this place is what the name suggests. But what about the food and service? Well; it’s brilliant. I spied the clean windows on entry, always a good sign when a proprietor has the eye to keep glass clean, be it the window or drinking variety. The place was packed, just one empty table with four place settings, yet the delightful waitress ushered the two of us straight to it. I said to the brunette, it’s busy, be prepared for a long wait. But no, our order was taken, the food arrived, we both enjoyed a delicious BLT with a pot of REAL tea, with, wait for it.... a tea strainer, call me old fashioned but that is what I like (even if it was plastic). There’s nothing I can fault with this place. We even sat at the late, great, Peter Cushing’s favorite table! See you next time, thank you team, front of house and behind the scenes.

We chanced upon this with our children and grandchildren and they found us a table amongst a busy restaurant. The staff were friendly and the menu offering some tasty favourites. Perhaps a little pricey but the ambience and the food made it worth while. Definitely worth a visit.

We went in for lunch on Sunday 22nd Sept and was shown to a table by a very pleasant young ladywho then took our drinks order whilst we perused the menu. Two of us had roast lamb and the other a home made steak pie. All three meals were well portioned and were a delight to eat. We then ordered more drinks and two lemon sponges with custard and a bread and butter pudding with custard , again the desserts were a delight to eat with the lemon sauce being just tangy enough to go with the sweetness of the custard. All the staff that we could see were very friendly and always smiling. Will be visiting again when in Whitstable.

We arrived about 1.30pm on Monday 16 Sept .It was very busy. We were invited to sit in the court yard .The service was very friendly and and quick.our food was cooked perfectly and a reasonable cost .

Popped in here for dessert as where we had lunch the desert choice was rubbish.

We visited for breakfast on a hot weekend so the town was very busy. They have a small but sweet courtyard away from the road. The service was quick and the breakfast was average (reflected in price) but decent portions. I would return but not before trying elsewhere as there is plenty of choice in Whitstable.

This restaurant has gone down over the years and seems to rest on its formal glory!

On a bank holiday saturday lunchtime without booking we were seated in a large table in the courtyard behind the Tearooms service was very good and food was passable at the short notice for something to eat. Having been refused at msny more pricey restauarants.

Love this place because it does what you would hope it did. Great level of customer service. Nice food, well priced. Apology if your order comes a little slowly. Pay as you order. Great location. Will definitely return. Enjoyed a simple but enjoyable poached eggs in toast. Had a full English on previous visit and thoroughly enjoyed.

Breakfast looked fantastic Young families, oldies and couples,serving promptly well presented foods. Full at 10.30 Will visit again

Apparently the actor Peter Cushing would come here for lunch every day when he lived in Whitstable. The tea and coffee is very good and the staff really friendly.

Had a lovely lunch of mushroom ravioli in a creamy sauce with garlic bread followed by jelly and ice cream. My wife had quiche with chips and also jelly and ice cream. A delicious meal and fantastic service. Thank you Tudor tea rooms.

Lovely place friendly busy nice food very clean a very quaint place to visit been there twice now on a birthday occasion advisable to book

Closing time, but very accommodating, Tea & Cake. & a smile

When I come to Whitstable I always head for the Tudor Tea Rooms for my breakfast...friendly staff, authentic surroundings and food excellent... full English breakfast always piping hot and reasonably priced..will definitely return there on my next visit

Cosy little family restaurant and friendly staff. Been using for years and whilst their lunches have gone up to keep up with infllation they do the best brekky anywhere in Whitstable have tried most of them. For value and great taste their brekkies are well worth the visit.

Went on a very wet day. It was very busy. But food arrived quickly. I had roast lamb. Meat was pretty standard nothing to write home about. Overheard someone complaining about mouldy bread which was off putting.

Beautiful old world tea room. It had just started to rain and was rather chilly, hot chocolate and a cream cake was very warming. Good service, wide menu, good clean toilets.

The three of us stopped here for lunch and received a warm welcome and friendly service. The food was excellent quality and very good value for money as were the drinks. I will come again the next time I m in the area.

We visited on two occassions during our stay, on both we had a very nice tea in a pleasant and charming surrounding. The food was of a good standard and the staff were very pleasant and helpful

We were looking for relief from the heat and found the delightful Tudor Tea Rooms. The menu is diverse and the homemade desserts divine. We would highly recommend for anyone.

A good selection of cakes both cream hand baked. Staff friendly and efficient. Had the hot chocolate that was a bit powdery.

We've been going to Whitstable for years but for some reason have never been here. However in need of a quick bite we decided to try it and it was fab. We both just had the whitebait and salad and can recommend. Great friendly service will go back.

Recommend getting the afternoon tea. Sandwiches were good and just enough. light airy scones with plenty of proper tea. Just what the doctor ordered on a wet windy day in Whitstable.
