What our visitors say ...
Lovely service and location. Half lobster is very small though and seemed overcooked. Poor value given the price. Cod was very average.
day with my kids and my grandkids the sun was out crab fishing the rides on the pier live music and then cod n chips perfect
Great for kids , a typical fun place to go loads of booths selling sweets and food .a wonderful atmosphere. We love herne Bay
Première fois à Herne Bay où nous étions juste de passage pendant quelques heures, par une belle journée ensoleillée. La promenade le long de la mer est très sympathique, il y a assez de place pour circuler facilement. Herne Bay ajoute à l'endroit un lieu de divertissement et de flânerie supplémentaire, avec ses pêcheurs de crabe, et un musicien qui mettait l'ambiance le jour de notre passage. La salle d'arcade est très sympathique aussi. Un endroit à visiter quand on aime les ambiances festives de bord de mer.
Best pier I have been on. Not a "kiss me quick hat in sight". Very interesting yet with a relaxed atmospere.
We spent an afternoon on the pier enjoying every minute. Lots of happy faces having fun on a lovely day .
A very busy pier
We visited Herne Bay Pier for the first time on a very hot Saturday. The pier is shorter than originally as part was destroyed in 1978. However the shortened version makes up for lack of length. It is the most packed pier I have seen. Little shops line the east side and other attractions such as a carousel, food places etc. Crab fishing was also taking place at the end. All in all a very impressive use of the pier.
One word of warning. We found that parking in the pier area was at a premium so try to consider your options before you arrive and have a back up if the car park is full.
Head to the pier!
We arrived in Herne Bay, never having visited before, and thought we'd go straight to the seafront to get a drink and something to eat.
Walking onto the pier, it was so lovely to see the individual cabins with retailers selling crafts and to find the perfect location to get a drink and something to eat. There was such a range to choose from. We decided to get something from the Caribbean stall - which we had never eaten before, as well as a traditional cup of tea and scone. We could have stayed much longer and sampled pizza, Thai, or even a glass of beer. Definitely something for everyone, and even though it was raining, that didn't matter as there was seating undercover. This is the place to go to when you arrive and want to enjoy the sea !
A great place for kids, BEWARE of the price’s.
We live in Herne Bay, we took the grandchildren to the pier, they loved it, BUT, the rides have become too pricey for what they are. We always get £20 of tokens which gave the kids a great time, now they get a couple of rides and that’s it. The operator has become greedy which will eventually bite them on the backside. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and reflect the demand.
