We have been making good use of the seasonal 69 Open Top bus to go to less familiar parts of Thanet. Westgate-on-Sea and Westbrook are an easy reach (Norman Road bus stop). You can get there quickly by train too. Highlights are the beach cafes at St Mildred’s Bay and West Bay, the Sunken Garden, the Carlton Cinema, the Brocante in Ethelbert Street, Staple cafe (hidden away in a back street) and Quince. This local restaurant is well worth a visit, reservations are required so plan ahead. We had a lovely lunch there with excellent service. They have set and a la carte menus and a decent wine list.
