Italianate Glasshouse Tea Garden in Thanet

Amazing, friendly staff and loads of DELICIOUS food included in the afternoon tea. Everyone having a cream tea was jealous! Can't wait to go back

Place in and surrounded by lovely gardens. Good plentiful paninis and cream teas!

Lovely time spent here this afternoon. First time visiting the area and we decided to take our puppy who was welcomed with open arms. Perfect spot to enjoy a cream tea or slice of cake and a cuppa whilst taking in the park and seaside for a walk.

A great place for a quiet cream tea or coffee & scones. Superb service & a beautiful private garden.

Was a lovely serene location, well planned and risk assessed in current covid situation. Clean and comfortable with shade if required outside seating. Service and food lovely

Went for a coffee this morning excellent service staff friendly, coffee good, tea served in teapot, food really delicious. Tables and chairs cleaned between customers and there's a very good space between tables. Customers are asked for contact details and hand sanitizer is on entering.

This tea garden attached to an ancient glasshouse, hidden away in a remote corner of King George VI Park in Ramsgate, is so charming and idyllic that it has a vaguely unreal quality.Combined with the suspiciously low prices (less than half the cost of a similar treat in Costa Coffee or Starbucks), the mismatched fancy china, delicious home-made cakes and the erratic opening hours ("The Tea Garden is open weekends on fine weather days" states the website ambigously) and its proximity to extremely basic refreshment huts in the park or on the cliffs that tend to be packed with sunburnt sandy types accompanied by screaming kids and barking dogs, you would be forgiven for imagining that you'd walked into some kind of magical tea garden wormhole which only opens when the planets are in exactly the correct conjunction, or something.There are home-woven lavender spindles, actual towels and knick-knacks in the lavatory cubicle. They put complimentary Nice biscuits in the saucers of our tea cups. We were en route to a booked lunch, or would have stayed for sandwiches which we saw passing by to other tables and which looked delicious.We shared a slice of perfect Victoria Sponge, and eyed up a tempting carrot cake.Certainly it was closed when we've tried to go in on a previous visit, leaving us pressing our noses sadly up against the bars, and our friends who live locally assure us the glasshouse is open MORE often but that the tea garden is not always operational, leaving them to wander sadly through the glasshouse wishing for cake and tea.You might want to try telephoning in advance to avoid disappointment, or if you feel lucky, head in its direction on a sunny weekend, cross your fingers, click your heels together and wish. Good luck!

A beautiful step back in time. Scone teas/ coffees/ real lemonade. Plenty of cream and jam and a pot of tea. Visit the greenhouse and see the 200 year old cacti. Pictures of Sir Moses Montefiore who lived here and left his grounds for the people to enjoy. Dogs must be kept on leads. Live music too. Open from Spring to Late Summer.

Amazing to see a cactus growing through the roof.

We have lived in the area for three years and today was our first visit to this wonderful greenhouse tea room. It was a pleasure to sit and enjoy afternoon tea on such a lovely day. Dogs are allow on a lead which is a bonus so many thanks to Phil and Janice for a lovely visit.
