Borgyn & Bakes is a themed afternoon tea venue on Station Road in Westgate in Kent. The restaurant centres its eat-in offer around Harry Potter-themed afternoon teas. Borgyn & Bakes also offers coffee and cake visits alongside its book-ahead tea service, so the format combines pre-booked themed teas with shorter café-style visits.
The food and drink focus at Borgyn & Bakes is built around themed afternoon tea rather than a standard lunch or dinner menu. The drinks menu features butterbeer ice cream floats and smoky mocktails as part of the offering, and the Borgyn & Bakes menu is presented as part of the wider wizarding theme rather than as a conventional all-day card. The cafe also accommodates other dietary requirements, which should be added to booking notes.
Inside, there are two dining areas with different layouts. The potion room is a long, narrow space with a bar-style table and bar stools, and it seats a maximum of six. The main room sits within the main shop area and uses cinema seats, a bench seat, barrel seats and hostess trolleys in place of standard tables. Other decor elements include a dragon, a werewolf and a reference to the Hogwarts Express. Overall capacity is small, with the main room seating six or seven people, so the set-up works best for very small groups.
Bookings need to be made at least 24 hours in advance for afternoon tea. It is best to call ahead before coming in for coffee and cake to check availability. There is no outdoor seating.
