At Smiths Court Hotel, the only thing we overlook is the sea

A Margate hotel with glorious sea views, for overnight stays, weddings, functions and more

Latest News - Plans for the rest of 2020 and beyond!

The hotel is still open for hotel bookings on a room only basis as our restaurant is still closed to private guests. However, we're still planning for any functions that might be needed, and we're running Christmas Parties on Friday and Saturdays in December.

Take a look at our Christmas Party menu here, which will highlight the current Social Distancing guidelines as well as the menu, pricing and all other information. We hope to see some of you in December!

We are busier than ever for dates in 2021 for weddings and groups, so if you're looking to hold your wedding with us, or host any party or function, speak to us sooner rather than later...

The Orangery restaurant

Our Restaurant

Due to Covid 19 we are currently closed for day to day business in The Orangery until further notice.

Generally though, the restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as bar snacks and sandwiches. We believe in using fresh, locally sourced produce from our local suppliers. All our food is freshly prepared on site by our talented chefs.

Perfect for a small couple or family dinner, a celebration, a group venue or anything in between. We run a table d'hote menu that changes daily based on what our suppliers have to offer, and we run our famous Sunday Carvery every Sunday.

Not only do we serve excellent food with our restaurant menu, we're also a perfect venue for weddings, parties, functions and events.
