Sure, you…read morecan pick up your gourmet and some organic groceries here, but most locals come to use it's wonderful café. Set 2 minutes back from Whitstable beach, Windy Corner is the perfect place or Sunday Brunch (or weekday lunch or coffees). Furnished with antique furniture, the whole cafè feels like your granny's kitchen. The food itself is mostly sourced from local producers and they have an artisan baker who uses the cafe after hours and supplies the bread. The menu is constantly changing depending on what the staff have felt like cooking, but if it can be made from what they stock, they can make it for you. Having been a while since I've been here the pricing is not as great as it used to be. £4 used to get you a large portion of poached eggs on toast with 2 thick slices of artisan bread and 3 perfectly poached eggs. Today I got 1 slice and 2 eggs for the same price. The other portions of things like lasagne and such seemed unchanged. Despite my minor gripe this is still a fantastic little place to go for a lunch or a coffee in whitstable.

I only had coffee, which was fine but people seemed to be happy as they dug into their food. The coffee quality and price was good, and the staff and a customer I spoke to, vey friendly.

I am a regular customer at Beano's cafe in Herne Bay. This review will be based on my experiences…read moreof their breakfasts as I have not yet sampled their main meals. I normally visit Beano's cafe after a night out with friends and order one of the many fried breakfasts that are offered on their menu. If you don't fancy a full breakfast you can of course go for a sandwich, baguette or you can make your own breakfast using items off the menu. I normally go for a Beano breakfast which I believe represents the best value for money. From memory it is under £5 and filled me up so much that I skipped lunch. Included within the breakfast is two slices of toast and a choice of tea or coffee. After placing your order you can relax at one of the tables with one of the newspapers on offer however your never normally waiting longer than 10 minutes for your breakfast to get delivered to your table. The breakfast that is offered by Beano's cafe is the best quality breakfast you can buy in Herne Bay. The food is always hot and you can tell that the produce they use is fresh. The black pudding and bubble they use is delicious and their sausages are huge. After you have eaten your breakfast you can sit there with a coffee for as long as you want as the staff normally have a chat or joke with you as they continue working. I'm giving Beanos five stars as the food they serve is the best fried food you can buy in Herne Bay, the staff are friendly and the cafe is also incredibly clean and is always full of people enjoying their food.

When I got there I found out it shuts before the advertised time on the web. When I pointed this…read moreout the waitress didn't care a jot even though I pointed out this could be very disappointing for customers coming from out of the area. I have several food intolerances so when asking about the ingredients in their homemade cakes I got a message back via the waitress that she can't guarantee the cakes were free from what I was intolerant to. As people with food intolerances are always ending up having to go without gorgeous food, I asked if I could have more detail of what was in the cakes so I could make a decision on what it was I could or couldn't eat, just in case there was something I could have. This was very obviously an inconvenience to the waitress and the manager who had baked them. She tried again to say she couldn't guarantee anything because obviously this was the quickest way to solve the issue for herself, but after explaining that I'd like to try to see if there was something I could eat, it was again very plain that I was wasting her time. It was late afternoon and they weren't busy, so I would have appreciated a couple of minutes of her time without the attitude. After finding out there was indeed a piece of cake I could eat, I sat down to enjoy it only to be served it with more attitude by the waitress. If she could have got away with grunting at me I sure she would have! I unfortunately had to ask for a pot of hot water as the tea didn't come with one, and AGAIN got a look saying 'are you bothering me again?!'. Cleanliness was also not great with tea-stained table clothes, dying roses on the table, and also dust on the teapot holding the roses which was next to an open sugar bowl which no doubt had the same amount of dust in it! Also, amazingly, a dog walking around the kitchen area with it's bed behind the serving counter!! (Yes, I am about to inform environmental health dept!!) Lastly, my table was being cleared before I had finished. I did notice however, that the other table still in there didn't have their table touched, so I'm guessing that was a touch of nastiness from the waitress also. I was there looking for a place to take 18-20 friends for my birthday which is coming up soon as we fancied a gorgeous afternoon tea, but we will definitely be going somewhere else after that experience!

Thankfully the lovely people at East Coast Dining Room welcomed us and we opted to sit outside in the cool evening air. We started with Prosecco and Elderflower cocktails and half a dozen delicious oysters. I decided on seared scallops to start, served with cauliflower purée and pickled grapes. They were so good that I was reluctant to share with my partner (it's our thing, we share) and I even refused a taste of his starter. He decided on a sirloin to start, slow roasted with a radish and tomato salad and served with a mustard cream. In a word, he described it as awesome. For our main course, I decided on pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto, served with aubergine purée, roast peppers and courgettes and presented on a Parmesan polenta. It was very tasty and the tenderloin was very tender and juicy indeed. I especially liked the aubergine purée. My partner chose the lemon sole, pan fried with scallop roe and seaweed butter and served with spinach and sautéed potatoes. I had a little taste and it was fantastic. All in all, the service was superb and our meal practically perfect. We will definitely return.

When people ask for a nice place to take friends for an evening meal in and around Kent I always recommend this place, cosy great location (near the sea, so perfect to stop by after a long coastal walk) and great company. Can't recommend it enough.
