The café offers the regular range of food: breakfast, small meals, snacks, hot and cold drinks. We tried the toasted roll slices with marmalade which were very nice. Today we were there for the second time and had a cheeseburger as well as a jacket potato with cheese which were also very good. The prices are reasonable. They have a tennis court and minigolf just outside the café. You can borrow the equipment at the café. The car park is suitable for very few cars only.

If you want to take a real break in Kent, you MUST go to the Reculver Country Park…read more What is it? A reserve combining undeveloped coast with great views accross the estuary & historic buildings (remains of a roman fort and twin towers of St Mary's Church dominating the coastline). Perfect place for a seashore walk or run when the sun is shinning. I spent a wonderful moment with my family here. This park is also the starting point of the Viking Coastal Trail (http://en.yelp.be/biz/viking-coastal-trail-margate).

We had a break at lunch - the sun was shining so we enjoyed ourselves in the courtyard in the middle where the stage and giant screen were. There were 3 food vendors- we tried 2 of them. For both of them the food was nice, fresh and tasty. 1 bar was open (no queues so no need to open another one at the same location, but the amenities are there for the high season), not a super wide range but everything was decent and prices were reasonable for a theme park / venue by the sea. After lunch, as the sun was shining there was more people, but still didn't have to queue for any of the rides. We went to the indoor arcade as well - there is also an indoor roller disco. Looking at the ceilings, it's not the best view- clearly it needs a bit of renovation. Within Dreamland , there are a few toilet facilities, all of them were clean. Good news - new water ride coming in July!

This is the town beach in lovely Broadstairs. We were here in high season, but on a weekday and it…read morewasn't really packed. The beach offers some lovely ocean views and has a kids fun park. Chairs can be rented too. It is a very clean beach right in the town center. Next to is also a Pavillon, where was live Swing Music at the time we visited. It's a good beach, but not really huge and not really different. A quick visit was enough. I did prefer Stone Bay, which was more quiet. And the main point: Does allow dogs after 6pm. No dogs at any time in high season at Viking Bay.

Viking Bay is the most popular beach in the archetypal British seaside town of Broadstairs. The…read morecrescent of sand is one of Broadstairs main draws. The beach at Viking Bay is a sandy beach, nice size and very clean but be warned there is a lot of seaweed around in the sea and at the seas edge of the sea so if you don't like seaweed then this might not be the beach for you. On this beach there are changing huts, summer huts (which can be hired at a cost), a promenade and even a pier of sorts. To the northern end of the beach is a small harbour which is home to a little fleet of fishing boats. Overlooking the harbour is Bleak House where Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield. Viking Bay is a winner of a Blue Flag award it has excellent facilities and in the summer a lifeguard service ensures safe bathing. As well as all the beachside shops and cafes you would need. There is even a cliff-side elevator at the southern end of the beach so very good for people hard of walking and the disabled to get down to the beach easily. This beach is also dogs friendly beach however between 1st May and 30th September dogs are not allowed on the beach. Activities: Donkey rides, good fishing, swimming/bathing, surfing, trampolines, bouncy castle plus other children's rides and nearby a amusement arcade Facilities: Cafe/restaurant, toilets, disabled facilities, first aid point, deck chair hire, sunbed hire, umbrella hire, beach hut hire, promenade and small pier This beach is easy to get to from London (takes just under 2 hours with no changes) and then just 10 minutes walk from Broadstairs station only to the beach. I would definitely visit this beach again on a sunny day.

During our trip to Canterbury, we visited two escape room companies, the only two that existed in…read morethe town at the time. The first one was Escape Kent. As of the time of writing this, they had two rooms available, Alien Attack and Escape The Serialkiller. We decided on the Alien Attack room, in which you're taking on the role of a group of scientists trying to stop, you guessed it, an attack on earth by  Lots of space in large lockers, some complimentary drinks and a really nice and comfortable waiting room to start with. We got a short briefing and off we went to save the earth.  The room is set up like a laboratory with an interesting collection of human-made and alien looking technology and documents. There were plenty of puzzles, clues, and riddles to work on, so everyone was busy right from the start. While there were a few familiar items, they also had quite a few fresh and exciting things that I hadn't encountered in this way before. Not overly difficult, but a good challenge and a lot of fun. Especially a larger group project towards the end of the game, it was quite hard to get right but so much fun to figure out. There was one clue that made no sense at all, poor planning on the organiser's side, it didn't hinder us from progressing through the game, but we did need a clue to make sense of it. There were several electronic devices involved in solving this room and while all of them worked well, there was one in particular that was hard to handle. We got it to work in the end though, so it's all good. We stopped the alien attack in good time and had a lot of fun. It's a really good team room with a thorough theme and professional production value.  I can absolutely recommend Escape Kent and we'll definitely be returning to try their other rooms.
