Two per person for a light lunch would work too, the Vegan Seaweed Croquettas and the Anchovies, Roasted Peppers, parsley oil worked especially well together. We also just had to order a couple of their rather tasty French Martinis. It was impressive that the lunch time staff made just as good a Martini as the evening staff. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20240831_135252_0000-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/> We returned for more Tapas, eating in the garden this time. The Serrano Ham, Manchego, Almonds &amp; lavender infused honey was a real treat. The Calamari was excellent and the Cured Ham &amp; Sobrasada Croquettes were so tasty. Just the perfect place for lunch on a sunny day.

Addington Street &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/explorekent.org\/activities\/spencer-square\/\">Spencer Square<\/a> Tennis courts are close by. It&#8217;s also on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagecoachbus.com\/routes\/south-east\/LOOP\/margate-cecil-street-margate-cecil-street\/XFBLOOP.I\">Loop<\/a> bus route (Cannonbury Road Bus Stop) so it&#8217;s easy to get too. They&#8217;re doing Sunday roasts again too, and they elevate them to another level. I had the mushroom, lentil &amp; root vegetable Wellington and I can&#8217;t recommend it highly enough. There&#8217;s a really lovely ambience in the basement restaurant and the service is first rate. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Food-images-for-blog_20241215_193013_0000-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.noexpert.co.uk\/food\/\">Return to Top Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE : July 2025 The menu has changed, it has some (small plates) Nibbles &amp; Starters, main courses include, Burgers, Tacos and Steak, see Bedford Inn website for an example menu.
