"We visit this beach and cafe every year in memory of my grandad that passed away we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming here until yesterday! Me and my sister sat down at a table while our mum was going to order the food for us me and my sister gave our children something to eat at it was lunch time and they were hungry no where in the cafe does it say you can’t consume any food or drink from outside the cafe so we didn’t think we were doing any wrong this man walked passed us 5/y times before walking over to the other side of the cafe and shouted at us ‘PUT THAT AWAY’ my sister asked what he meant and he said ‘that food I don’t want it in my restaurant’ ok I get that he might not of wanted them to have the food in there but he could of come over to us and ask us politely and not in front of the whole cafe! It made us feel very on edge because then everyone started looking at us! It didn’t stop there so my mum had ordered the food by this point and then we was waiting for our food the food came out and it was cold, the cheese wasn’t melted in the toasties it looked like that had just put to pieces of toast together with some cheese and onion (the price they charge they should be doing the toasties properly) my mum took them up to the counter and asked for help the staff member was so rude to my mum and was really arguing with her for no reason so my mum asked for the manager the manager came over and was really helpful she apologised to my mum for her staff member arguing and kindly gave my mum a refund I am so disappointed in this experience as we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming! I would never give a bad review but this time I feel like it needs it!"

"Visited here with my friend for lunch on the 16th Aug. We found a decent table outside, chairs were very uncomfortable. Music playing was reminiscent of a Greek taverna but became annoying as it was on a stereo played on a loop. All the sandwiches come with chips except the crab because, i was told “it’s quite a plateful”. I went ahead and ordered the white crab and lemon mayo open sandwich which at £12.50 I had high expectation of. Together with a glass of cheap tap lemonade and a small bottle of Perroni lager it came to £20.00! Sandwich was truly awful and certainly not a plateful. When I’ve had an open sandwich at other places, I’ve had both slices of bread just open with filling on both. I basically paid for one slice of bread, half a plate of various lettuce leaves and red onion, no other salad, and what can only be described as a splop of crab. The bread was tasteless and had a thick layer of the lemon mayo, the beautiful taste of the crab was completely lost in a sickly mix of more mayo. Could not taste the crab at all, what a shame. When you have crab leave it as it is, do not swamp it’s beautiful flavour in mayonnaise. It could also have been any part of the crab meat, white or brown, it was so drowned you could not tell. My friend had the applewood cheese and chutney sandwich, with chips. The first plate that came was a dry, seeded bread with very little cheese, a vague spread of what looked more like pesto and a slice of tomato. She queried this because at £9.00 it really wasn’t up to standard (photos don’t show it particularly well). A fresh plate was brought out and was much better thick plain soft brown bread nice filling of cheese and you could make out the chutney. However, the grated cheese tasted no different to a mature cheddar you could get at Tesco. No hint of any other flavour so who’s to know. On the whole we enjoyed sitting outside in the sun but the rest of the experience was very poor. Whilst in the ladies loo, another lady was saying it had been terrible they’d had to get a refund on a food order which, despite chasing the staff, never turned up. The Albion used to be a good place to get a good range of food. Now it’s just another place trying to be too fancy and is way to expensive for what you get. Will certainly not be going back here for food."

"the restaurant is on three levels of exposure. the interieur is cool and characterful, the conservatory is protected, but airy, the extended balcony from the open and with magnificent view over the beautiful harbour area and the sea. the personal is pleasant...and helpful. the activities of cheery managers, roxy, are a wonder to see how they slide around the restaurant like a bee in an exotic garden, in and out flattering tired boundaries with practicable lightness. here is a happy group of flowers, a family enjoy a birthday meal; there is a romantic duo, rapture and worrying; and here a lonely flower on a eckish watch the multicolor scene, absorb the atmosphere and the flowing flut of talks. I'm well used to the Prezzo kitchens and regularly in their Canterbury restaurant. I will repeat what I have always said that the ice and the coffee are unmatched, along with an interesting menu and efficient service. a word about broadstairs. it is like a piece of cornwall, which is overlaid after kent, a picturesque bay, but with an urban hinterland. the closer they approach the sea, the more charming it becomes. it is quirky, picturesque and architecturally diverse. if they like long walks, there are many corners and cracks to explore here and on. the connection with charles thickens gives him a pronounced literary heritage and there is a museum dedicated to the great man."
