FOOD+DRINK IT’S TIME FOR Tea & Cake! cont. Bertie’s of Saltwood Bertie’s of Saltwood // Hythe Where Memories Meet // Wateringbury Although Bertie’s of Saltwood has only been open since March this year, it has already become a firm favourite and permanent fixture in the area where locals and visitors alike can enjoy all manner of excellent delicacies at affordable prices. The Green, Saltwood, Hythe CT21 4PS www.facebook.com/bertiesofsaltwood This tearoom is set in an antiques shop, so if that’s your thing then this will be the ideal location for you to enjoy some tea and cake. Even if you’re not into antiques, Where Memories Meet is interesting and different enough to still work for you; it even has its own spring-fed well! 188 Tonbridge Road, Wateringbury ME18 5NS www.wherememoriesmeet.com The Daily Grind // Ramsgate There are many different tea infusions to try at The Daily Grind, so if you’re looking for something special, this is the place to go. There is cake too, of course, and it goes perfectly with your hot beverage, no matter what kind you pick. 11 Harbour Street, Ramsgate CT11 8HA www.facebook.com/The-Daily-Grind-Cafe-585550971528461 60 Fleur De The // Rochester Homemade cakes and pastries, traditional teas and specialty coffees are what makes Fleur de The such a hotspot for people of all ages. Relax on Rochester’s pretty high street in the care of a great tearoom. 134 High Street, Rochester ME1 1JT www.fleurdethe.co.uk Browns of Bexley // Bexley Tea At Hilltop // East Malling Great food, great service, a gorgeous location and fabulous interior, Browns is a lovely place to take the weight off your feet and indulge in something tempting and tasty. That something could well be one of the many cakes that are made onsite, and you can even eat them in the pretty courtyard outside. 2 Bourne Road, Bexley DA5 1LD www.brownsofbexley.co.uk It was in the post-war period that the current owner’s father bought Hilltop Farm, and it has always been a place that welcomed strangers, gave them somewhere to stay and something good to eat. Not much has changed over the last few decades, except now there is a dedicated café on the site to keep visitors fed and watered. Hilltop Farm, The Heath, East Malling ME19 6JL www.tea-at-hilltop.co.uk The Moat Tea Rooms // Canterbury Corby’s Tea Rooms // Ramsgate The building that houses the Moat Tea Rooms is impressive in itself – half timbered and dating back many centuries. Within that, you have a cosy, friendly tearoom serving green, black and oolong teas as well as plenty of homebaked goodness. 67 Burgate, Canterbury CT1 2HJ www.moattearooms.co.uk Situated just a few metres from the Royal Harbour in Ramsgate, Corby’s Tea Rooms already has a great location going for it. But it also has some wonderful cakes and other treats, and a choice of different teas. For tea and cake with a view and some super friendly service, this little tearoom is a good choice. And if you’re feeling as though you would rather indulge at home, that’s not a problem; Corby’s offers a takeaway service too. 18-20 York Street, Ramsgate CT11 9DN www.corbystearooms.co.uk
