Latest visit (September 2025) :- <\/em><\/p>\n

Njord<\/a> had to close for several months this Summer due to flooding, but thankfully it’s now open again, completely renovated and with a new chef and new menus. We popped in for breakfast, ordered a Full English and Chef’s Toast (almost a Full English on toast – it didn’t exactly match the menu description as it included Chefs rosti rather than pickled red onion, but I was fine with that). I also couldn’t resist some post breakfast Apple pie. It’s great to see this excellent cafe back on its feet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em>The (seasonal) 69 Open-Top<\/a> bus can be used to get here from Ramsgate, the Viking Ship bus stop is only a few minutes walk from Njord.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

First visit (May 2024) :-<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve wanted to try out Njord<\/a> for a while now, I mean a Scandi style place overlooking Pegwell Bay<\/a> is so intriguing. So we headed out on a lovely sunny day (it’s only a few minutes away from Ramsgate by car or bus) and about a 40 mins walk if you’re feeling energetic!<\/p>\n

Njord is in a great location on the edge off the Pegwell Bay nature reserve, it’s rather lovely inside, with a mix of comfy lounge style seating & coffee tables, dining tables with bench seating and bar stools at the window overlooking the bay. There is also some outside seating and lots of bike racks for cyclists.<\/p>\n

The breakfast\/brunch menu is mainly muffin, sourdough & croissant based dishes. We rather fancied the less conventional breakfast of Cochon Pulled Pork with Sundried Tomato & Chorizo Tapanata and Poached Kentish Free Range Eggs on a toasted English Muffin with Hollandaise sauce & chilli flakes. However they’d ran out of pork and were doing a pulled Chicken recipe instead, so we ordered that and Americano Coffees. The Coffees were served quickly and were excellent, I even had some left when the breakfast muffins arrived, the pulled chicken muffins tasted as good as they looked too, nicely spiced from the Tapanata and very filling.<\/p>\n

Njord is also a Bar with an excellent drinks menu, lots of different brands of rum and gin is always a good sign. They also serve a few cocktails to enhance your breakfast\/brunch experience.<\/p>\n

The cakes at the Bar looked really good as well, they’re from the Beardy Baker<\/a> in Canterbury, so I’ll certainly be back to try those.<\/p>\n

Attractions in the area include the aforementioned Pegwell Bay nature reserve<\/a>\u00a0and the Viking Ship Hugin<\/a>, which is a great photo opportunity and I guess sort of in keeping with the Scandi style at Njord.<\/p>\n
