The Heron - (Near Kent, South East)

Pizzatastic (Pizzatastic) Attended the Makcaris in the bandstand today for a late lunch as recently moved back to the area. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I didn’t know much about the place but when they gave us our food we were speechless (in a good way) at the quality and presentation of the food. And it taste as good as it looked! The pricing for a coffee, Coke Zero, club sandwich and French toast was just under £30 which is quite steep - but for a treat and the quality it was I think the pricing is fair. The staff were also lovely and polite, will definitely be revisiting.

Dan Foxell Fantastic coffee shop with very reasonable pricing. The service was top tier and my chicken salad came with some incredible Italian bread. Highly recommend, much better and more affordable than cafes on the waterfront!

Nicola Gardner We enjoyed the best cod we have ever tasted, absolutely huge, the chips were amazing (in a mini basket so could have eaten more - but enough for most people). Beautifully presented with salad on a gold dish. They were not busy in October so the manager was able to chat & discuss the area, as we were on holiday. Highly recommend, opposite the pier so would imagine the outside seating in season would be lovely.

Anthony Amuzu-Nyadzro Deliciously stonebaked pizza. Served within a reasonable time on a busy summers day.

DJ Clinic We had a wonderful visit to Caffè The Vintage Empire. The place has a charming 1940s English vintage deco feel, which gives it such a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. I had the poached egg on toast with salmon, along with a pot of tea, and everything was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a beautiful slice of Victoria sponge—light, fresh, and perfectly made. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent from start to finish. A delightful spot that truly takes pride in its vintage style. Highly recommended!

Ricky Day Great little cafe. Really good food at a reasonable price.
