About
Located close to the beach in the popular seaside town of Broadstairs is the wonderfully nostalgic Bessie’s Tea Parlour. What a treat in so many ways! Step back in time to relax and enjoy the authentic homely atmosphere and delicious homemade food presented beautifully on dainty vintage china.
The menus offer an amazing selection of savoury and sweet delights. Kentish produce is used whenever possible and tea is blended locally. Bessie’s Brunch offers light breakfast options to start your day. Delicious lunches include jacket potatoes with various toppings, quiche, soup (served with a Kentish Huffkin) and daily specials. All your favourite toasted snacks are available too including the traditional wholemeal Kentish Huffkin. The sandwich menu offers a great selection of unusual fillings including tasty Kentish cheeses. Among mouth watering homemade sweet treats are cakes, puddings, waffles, scones and ice creams. Bessie’s Sweet or Savoury Afternoon Cream Teas are a luxuriously indulgent experience not to be missed and a memorable way to enjoy a special occasion. Group bookings can be taken for Afternoon/Champagne teas and Children’s tea parties can also be arranged. Simply contact Jess and the team to discuss your special event.
The team at Bessie’s are passionate about catering for dietary needs and offer many outstanding Gluten Free options across the menus. Vegetarian and Dairy Free options also available and a separate vegan menu is provided. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are always happy to answer questions regarding food preparation and ingredients and to advise on menu choice.
