The Mechanical Elephant - J D Wetherspoon in Thanet

Pleasant staff but the southern fried chicken wrap was disgusting, it was only the chips that saved the day. Its OK for a weatherpoons but could do with tidying up. The ladies toilet door around the handle was thick with sticky yuk but the actual toilets were OK, downstairs. I will not return to this particular weatherpoons.

Lovely breakfast, very reasonable price,staff were friendly and welcoming. Thank you Mechanical Elephant.

Bar staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was very good and served very quickly. Great location over the road from the beach. Gets mega busy in the summer. The only thing that spoils it is the smokers outside.

Cheap food and drink on the menu, busy during the summer. Not so much in Winter.Not a classy venue, but has a bustling atmosphere at peak times. Good selection of drinks and the food is not too bad either.Unlisted refills on tea or coffee for just 99p, makes this a real winner venue. Throw in a cooled breakfast too all for under a fiver.Spacious ground floor area, compiled of sets of tables and chairs, bar stools and tables or a few cozy booths with sofa style seating and USB sockets for charging devices towards the rear-side of the bar.Theain toilets for men and women are found in the basement, with a single disabled access toilet at the rear of the ground floor.The upstairs is nice, not as big but often a little quieter than the first floor. It also has a slim north-facing balcony overlooking Margate seafront, including the main sands and the harbour arm.Many other bars and venues locally but this is the cheapest by far.If you're looking for a more glamorous Weatherspoons consider the drive to the new one in Ramsgate, the largest pub in the country, nice balconies and a bit more class.

It was pleasant. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The tables were clean and so was the building and toilets. The food was very hot and crispy which is great. The portions were good. Ordering via the app was easyPrices great. I can't fault it really. Loved the views from the front of the pub whilst eating even if it was raining.

Super inexpensive place to go for something to eat and drink. Lovely staff and cosy interior. Really can't recommend high enough. Wasn't crowded on our visit either but can imagine their prices would mean it's normally pretty busy.

The food was delicious. Can't say enough about the staff who work there, as we were holiday makers, they were so helpful going way out of their customer service skill to help us with taxis, directions and much more.

Head upstairs for a wonderful terrace facing the beach! The ice cream and fudge cake was best I ever had! Friendly staff too.

I like this place for breakfast meal my grandson said nan this is banging, can we came back I will give it 10 out of 10 now we will have to try something else next time.

Nice spoons over 2 floors, with outside balcony overlooking the sea. Really busy but the waitress upstairs serving everyone's food and clearing up was excellent. And drinks and food came really quick from app ordering.
