Pomus Margate

If I had to describe gluten-free heaven, it would look a lot like Pomus. A place where people with coeliac disease can genuinely relax and enjoy incredible food in total safety: 99% of the menu is gluten-free, there’s an open kitchen with separate fryers, and chefs who are truly knowledgeable about managing gluten intolerance. On the first evening, as an aperitivo, I tried their homemade focaccia served with two different types of butter. As an Italian, it was a wonderful surprise to find such excellent focaccia on the Kent coast! It was soft, flavourful and beautifully airy. The next day at lunch, I had the popcorn chicken with mango and gochujang; absolutely delicious again: perfectly crispy with just the right sweet-and-sour balance. I could have eaten loads of it. I then shared a charcuterie board with cured meats (mortadella and wild fennel salami) and two different cheeses. Everything was top quality, served with homemade “crackers”: very thin, extra crunchy and herb-flavoured. Completely addictive, as the chestnut bavarois with salted caramel and coffee crumble. I’d also like to compliment them on their wine and cocktail selection, the efficient, friendly and genuinely supportive staff, and the incredible attention to detail throughout the entire venue. A place I recommend 100%. A rare and precious gem in the small treasure chest that is Margate, a town I absolutely fell in love with.

We visited Pomus on a Sunday for their Sunday Feast and it was amazing. The restaurant is also dog friendly which is such a big plus for us. The food was amazing, freshly cooked right in front of you. There is a great selection of dishes. For the main big plate you can choose between vegetarian or meat. The main event also changes every weekend so you get to experience something new every sunday. I have to say the portions are very generous and it is such a good value for money. The wine was also delicious, we tried the orange wine which was amazing. Highly recommend visiting with your dog!

Chicken karage is always fit, so much so we had the Sunday Feast but couldn't resist adding it on. Brilliant roasties, free-flowing gravy, fire cooked carrots. Nom nom nom. Also for those with doggos, to top it off this place is dog friendly.

I took my team to Pomus tonight for our staff party, & we had the Broken Eggs pop up menu which was fantastic & tasted amazing! One of the team is vegan & GF & Ryan & his team went over and above and beyond to accommodate us! Such a great place to be. Warm, inviting & fun & great wine! Thank you Chefs & thank you Ryan from all of us @Lilie’s xxx

Visited Pomus on a busy Saturday evening, and we were very pleasantly surprised by everything. The staff were friendly and welcoming on arrival showing us straight to a cosy table opposite the open kitchen. We found it difficult to decide on what to order as they have a great menu. The waitress informed us of the catch of the day, and also helped us when we had questions on the menu. We shared a salad with clementine, pear and the most delicious dressing, as well as potato croquettes, steak with cafe de Paris butter, focaccia bread, gochujang popcorn chicken and a leeks dish - recommend all of those dishes. To follow we had the pork belly and the pumpkin - again both fantastic with great flavours. The whole evening was fantastic and we look forward to visiting again soon.

So happy we stumbled across this gem! Everything we ordered was delicious - skate with samphire, pork t-bone, popcorn chicken, mackerel paté, crispy potatoes - all cooked to perfection! Friendly service and really nice vibe, will definitely be back.

wow wow wow! We honestly could not fault this gorgeous gem of a place and cannot wait to come back! We booked for a girls date night, mainly because we were drawn by the orange wine on the menu but we were so blown away by the atmosphere and even more impressed by the knowledgeable and warm service we received from the minute we sat down! Now let’s talk about the food…. WOW WOW WOW!!!! Honestly, it’s rare that I’ve been somewhere and every dish just ‘bangs’ … if I can even use that word? But you get the jest! Everything was just 10/10 and I’m also so pleased to know they cater for GF as I've recently found out I’m celiac! Thank you so much 🩷🩷🩷

We visited as a large group of 12 to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We had the set menu, which overall was good. Some of the dishes were delicious and very well executed, although a couple were served a bit under-seasoned. There was also no salt or pepper on the table initially, which would have helped, but it was provided once I asked. One thing that could be improved is the sequence in which the dishes were served. For example, when the meat dishes arrived, it would have made more sense for them to be served alongside the delicious coal-roasted potatoes and the very tasty carrots. Instead, the vegetables came either before or after the meat, which made the flow of the meal feel slightly disjointed. A bit more planning in the timing and order of the dishes would improve the overall experience. We shared the Chocolate mousse and the Custard tart , they were on point. That said, the service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly, that was lovely.
