My husband and I had a rare Saturday off from the kids. We had the most amazing lunch at Roost. Not only was the food top notch, but the staff were accommodating, friendly and a delight to be around and couldn't do enough for us. So refreshing to have such a quirky little place right on your door step. Our girls can't wait to come with us next time ♥️
Fab food and amazing staff! And the view of the coast and sunset is always an unexpected bonus! Highly recommend and will def be returning
Came in tonight and had the best service and food I've had in a long time, a proper little gem of a place to eat
This place is awesome. A real one-off, great vibe, superb food, great value and the lovely Mel and Sue behind the wheel. So highly recommended I don’t even know where to start. 5* is not enough. It’s at least 6.5 out of 5 for me.
Food was delicious and reasonably priced, staff were all very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend and we will be returning again.
Had lunch with my sister here today - fab vegan option and gluten free options. Relaxed atmosphere and quick service, and delicious food.
Lovely welcome. Tasty, homecooked food. Great kids menu. Good choice... we had mussels, ribs and hotdog! Def recommend.
Great atmosphere, fantastic views, amazingly friendly staff (including the uber cute dog) and the best sweet potato fries I've ever tasted! The chicken was spot on and my 3 year old had a wonderful time as there was loads of things there to keep her busy
Excellent food, great staff. Well worth a visit or two, or three.
This place is amazing! Friendly welcoming staff and the food is terrific! A most go to place when visiting Margate/Cliftonville!
Often pop in for lunch and always delighted at the food. We have some holiday lets in Margate and Roost is always on the top of the local recommendations.
An amazing Christmas Eve lunch after a long walk. Great food, service and music !!
Great start to Christmas! We will be back!
Absolutely fantastic food. 1st visit after recommendation. Will defo be returning. Friendly welcoming staff. Only downside was a little chilly. �
Had the most amazing breakfast, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try the lunch menu!
Amazing food, we wanted to order one of everything! Great service, the loveliest staff with good sense of humour. Dessert was so good it hurt!! If you are thinking about going here, do not even second think it. These guys are doing a superb job, already planning our next trip!
Had lunch yesterday. We absolutely loved it. Vegan tofu dish was gorgeous. Member of staff, Penny, was a complete joy - I want to move to Margate so we can be best friends. Hope to see you guys again soon xx

If you visit Margate and do not visit Roost Restaurant & Cafe - you'll have missed an absolute gem of a place in the whole town!
Wonderfully accommodating and warmest welcomes you'll feel when entering the cosy setting.
A delightful menu with vegan, veggie and meat options.
I had a soft shell crab burger which came with a catch of fries! I honestly couldn't finish it all - possibly because I was dipping into my daughter's Macaroni Cheese which came with a succulent and flavoursome pulled pork too😍
Had I been spending more than a day in Margate I would have loved to try literally everything on the menu - maybe they can do a tasting plate where you get an amuse-bouche of their delights!
You'll find Buddah Bowls, Jerk Chicken, Asian wings, hog burgers and if you grab a seat/bench facing the window, you can see the sea.
Price wise, you are looking at around £18pp if you're having a main and an alcoholic drink but let me tell you it is worth it.
Little pooch friendly place too - do check it out.
If I could give this place 6 stars I would.
My partner and I had lobster and it was ruddy brilliant. Our 13 month old daughter was with us and they had a great selection for kids. The service was really friendly and the place has a wonderful atmosphere and a great selection on the menu. I would really recommend eating here, especially with families as it's very family friendly.
The food was beautifully prepared, I always think lobster is very easy to get wrong but this was perfect. A meaty, beautifully seasoned and buttery lobster served with perfect sweet potato fries and a lovely homemade aioli.
We actually both stuck to water but the drinks selection looked good.
Loved it.
Popped in with my daughter for a late lunch, we've been before so knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed. The crayfish dirty fries and coleslaw was amazing. My daughter had the curried vegan sausage dirty fries and tofu dippers with aoli. All very yummy.
5 Stars
The staff that work here couldn't possibly be any more helpful. The food comes at a good pace. We have come here over 3 times and not once been dissatisfied. It has won many awards such as Kent life twice, the good food guide and a certificate of excellence from TripAdvisor. Highly recommended
Amazing Food THANK YOU!!!
Just eaten a late lunch at this funky little place. We were a group of 6 eating late at 14:45 and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Couldn't do enough. The food was super tasty, freshly made and a fantastic mix of really big juicy burgers and awesome fries/chips, mixed with Vegetarian and Vegan options for me and some of the others in or group. Definitely book in to try it for yourselves. We will 100% be back for more. Thank you to all. ;-) (This is my daughters Dairy Free Cookies and Cream Milkshake, she loved it!!!)
TL:DR The food here is great, book ahead to ensure a table.
If they offer to set you loose in the room downstairs before your table is ready, you’ll discover a ping pong table, a pool table and a record player teetering on the edge of some antique furniture. It was filled with young kids, which at first was a bit hectic, but 2 minutes later I was having a game of ping pong with them. It was cute.
It’s a laid back place to have a responsibly sourced chicken lunch or dinner. The food is cooked to order so you get a juicy, perfectly cooked chicken when it arrives. They don’t rush you while you eat.
If you’re veggie or vegan, don’t worry! There’s an entire section of the menu dedicated to you. A Buddha bowl (which I always love) and lots of other cool stuff.
All in all, highly recommended, charming little gem of a place.
Lovely place, the food was excellent. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff. I liked the decor too. One of the best places in Margate.
A great find - the host was very welcoming, and the food was delicious. We came for brunch and had a crab burger and pancakes (separately!) - both were fantastic.
Lovely little cafe. Amazing views and the food was fabulous and extremely well priced.
Margate is not what you read about it. It's not the trendy place it's supposed to be. It's an old seaside resort that is trying hard to get back to it's former glory. It will take a few more years before this place is what they say it is. Nevertheless we had a good time. One that is true , the skies are phenomenal. See my picture.
