I visited Beach Buoys in Margate with my dad, who is vegetarian but used to enjoy fish and chips. We decided to try their vegan options for lunch. I opted for the chicken burger with vegan mozzarella, onion rings, kale slaw, gochujang ketchup, and fried pickles since I don't like fish. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the burger as it was greasy and fell apart easily. The lack of ketchup didn't help cut through the grease either. The others in my group also weren't impressed with their banana blossom fish or battered vegan sausage. The fried pickles were the only highlight. While the restaurant has a cute pink storefront by the sea, the prices are high and the food quality doesn't justify the c...
Beach Buoys is right on the seafront very close to the Turner gallery so ideally situated for visitors to the area. The vegan selection is big I had the battered miso tofu and my partner had battered sausage, both were really good. We also had some battered gherkins to share (first time trying that! . Chips are nice and crispy too. Ordering is done at a touchscreen, and they send a text message when it's ready to collect. It was all nicely packaged and came with salt, pepper and vinegar sachets. Would definitely revisit.
Have been twice now. The service is hot or cold. The first visit i was 'served ' by a stroppy adult teenager yet the second time the guy couldnt have been friendlier (different staff members) the banana blossom fish didnt taste good. There were plenty of chips but a third were under cooked. The second time i had just chips and again they were not cooked properly and the portion was small for £4. Pop along to shakey shakey in ramsgate instead if you want a decent meal
I loved Beach Buoys! The restaurant itself was super cute and the staff were really friendly. It’s great to have so many vegan options on hand. I got the banana blossom with chips now while the chips were the great the banana blossom wasn’t my favourite. I tried the battered sausage and fried pickles, which were much better options. When I go back I’ll be avoiding the banana blossom in favour of those instead.

I absolutely adored everything about this restaurant - the atmosphere, the variety of options, the convenient location, and the affordable prices. I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled to see that they offered vegan dishes, which were clearly highlighted outside. It was also great to hear that they use a separate fryer for their vegetable oil.
Great location, good price and large serving size. Cost us £13 for banana blossom, chips, and 2 battered sausages which was all enough for 2 people to share. The restaurant is small so you’ll be lucky to eat in, but the sea wall is opposite so you can easily takeaway and eat anywhere. Touchscreen ordering is always a great bonus!
I've tasted the banana blossom with chips and vegan tatar. The portion is big, the blossom and the chips are very tasty. We ordered for takeaway to sit on the beach. The only problem was the cutlery, it wasn't sharp enough for the fried blossom, so I took my own (travel set).
I used to love the vegan fish at this restaurant, but unfortunately it's no longer available. However, I was pleased to see they now offer vegan battered sausage and a vegan alternative to katsu fries. The vegan options here are still great.

Loads of variety and pretty huge portions. The banana blossom was great but the battered tofu was particularly good! Recommended Updated from previous review on 2023-08-13
Lots of vegan options, had the battered sausage chips but the flavour was lacking in the sausage!
