Forts Cafe

Two things you should know about Forts: It doesn’t take bookings and it’s always buzzing. So whatever day of the week it is, arrive early. The polished diner-like space in Margate is popular with locals and day-trippers, and for good reason. Eggs are given special treatment with the addition of merguez to scrambled or ‘nduja to fried, but pay attention to the sandwiches. Sometimes hulking, sometimes toasted, always delicious. The bacon sandwich is a go-to. We’ve had it on focaccia with sliced apple and chipotle ketchup, and toasted with chilli jam and pickled red onion. Either way it’s a winner.
