Meat
Broadstairs is blessed with an excellent butcher on the High Street - Chef & Butcher offers a great choice.

Fish
Broadstairs’ only fishmonger (as far as we know) is Fruits de Mer. They can be found on the Broadway (just past the train station).

Fruit & Veg
J Prentis offers a great choice of seasonal produce (much larger than the supermarkets in town).

Drink
The Bottleneck on Charlotte Street stocks an excellent range of wine and beer. The choice of products from the local area is particularly impressive.

There are three small supermarkets in Broadstairs Town Centre: Tesco Metro, Iceland and Co-op. Tesco is the closest and probably the largest, opposite Iceland with Co-op further up the hill towards the train station.

Within a short drive or bus ride you can find most of the large supermarket chains:

Aldi - Ramsgate & Margate
Asda - en route to Westwood Cross
Lidl - Westwood Cross
M&S - Westwood Cross
Morrisons - Margate
Sainsburys - Westwood Cross
Tesco Extra - Westwood Cross
Waitrose - Ramsgate

Also worthy of note in Broadstairs is the excellent Rueanthai Shop. It stocks a fantastic range of Asian food products.

Broadstairs is well served by 3 pharmacies on the High Street. Closest is Boots at the bottom of the hill. Near Pierremont Hall is the Pierremont Pharmacy. Opposite the station is Paydens, which also doubles as one of the town’s Post Offices.

Without a prescription counter but carrying a lot of pharmaceutical products and toiletries, Savers on the High Street is also worth consideration.

For an alternative offering, the Broadstairs Herbal Apothecary is well-stocked and a very short walk from Broadstairs.

There is an excellent and very friendly convenience store extremely close to seasalt. Victory News on Stone Road stocks all the essentials, as well as newspapers and magazines.

In town, there is a Londis, that also doubles as the local Post Office.

New Kent Art Gallery & Studio is just around the corner from seasalt. Owner Karen has a great range of local art including her own work, some of which is on display at seasalt.

The Little Art Gallery offers private and group painting lessons as well as a range of local art.

The Broadstairs Gallery showcases work from both locally and internationally renowned artists.

Martin Cheek sells his own glass mosaic work as well as organising workshops and classes for adults and children.

KIT on Charlotte Street has a well curated selection of clothing for men and women, as well as homewares. Its sister shop Little Kit (Eldon Passage) has a similarly impressive range - everything you need for your little ones.

Broadstairs even has its own seamstress/tailoring shop - check out The Workshop

Charlotte Street is the place to head to for homewares and gifts. Home by SP and Arrowsmiths are next door to one another and both have beautifully selected ranges.

As well as clothing KIT carries a range of homewares such as candles, cushions and home fragrances.

The Blue Anchor is a only a few minutes’ walk from seasalt. It is a traditional beach shop, selling buckets, spades, inflatables and sea shells.
