Food and drink is a key part of a visitor’s experience. Recommending independent local cafés, bistros and restaurants, or using local produce yourself is a sure way to enhance your customer’s stay, and help visitors to not just see, but experience the Thanet Shared Story.

And using and recommending local, results in a shorter supply chain, which boosts the local economy and reduces the carbon footprint of the business. It creates jobs for local people, and helps to preserve the working countryside and coastlines we all enjoy.

Find out which great local eateries are near you.  From seafront chippies to waterside dining, from swish harbour restaurants to rural gastro pubs, from vintage ice cream parlours to cool, continental cafés, there is plenty of choice. Top local produce is everywhere, from farmers’ markets and farm shops to food festival events. There are lots of great micro pubs popping up in the area too.

And it is not just food that is locally produced. Think of the local arts and crafts that are on sale just in Thanet.
