Grosvenor Casino Broadstairs United-Kingdom - Gaming, Poker and Dining

What We Offer at Westwood Cross

Grosvenor Casino Broadstairs is based at Unit 47, Westwood Cross Retail Park, Margate Road, Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 2BF. We sit inside one of East Kent’s busiest shopping and leisure spots, so guests use the main Westwood Cross car parks - they are free, close by and there is no extra ticket to sort out. As part of Grosvenor Casinos Limited, the largest land-based casino group in the UK with more than 50 licensed venues, we welcome customers from Broadstairs itself, as well as Ramsgate, Margate and the rest of the Isle of Thanet.

On the gaming floor you will find the familiar categories you would expect in a full UK casino: poker, roulette, blackjack, slot machines and electronic gaming terminals. After recent UK government changes to gaming machine rules, we took the chance to grow the slots area. Around 30 extra slot machines were brought in, and we added roughly 90 new game titles across our electronic terminal network. Those include new £10 and £20 jackpot levels, giving a broader mix of staking options than before.

Our premises is registered with the UK Gambling Commission as “Thanet Grosvenor Casino” within the Thanet District Council licensing area. Grosvenor Casinos Limited appears on the Commission’s public register with account number 614.

Opening Hours

We trade seven days a week and keep fairly late hours.

Sunday to Thursday, doors open at 12:00 noon and we close at 5:00 am the following morning. On Fridays and Saturdays, we extend that slightly and stay open from 12:00 noon through until 6:00 am.

This pattern works both for daytime visitors and for people planning a night out. Quite a few guests drop in after a session at the shops in Westwood Cross, sit down for food and drinks, and only then head over to the tables or the slots later on. It turns the visit into a full evening rather than a quick in-and-out.

If your main reason for visiting is poker, it is important to check the schedule before you set off. Poker tournaments and cash game times can adjust, and the most accurate way to confirm what is running is still to call the club direct on +44 1843 57999 and speak to the team.

Table Games

Our table gaming covers the core casino formats. On the main floor you will find poker, roulette and blackjack available during standard opening hours. Regular poker activity, including tournaments and special events, is listed on third-party poker platforms such as PokerAtlas. We are flagged there as an active poker room in the South East, but you should remember that exact days and start times can change, so the poker desk on site remains the final word on that.

If you have not been to a casino before, the process is fairly simple:

1. Head to Unit 47 within Westwood Cross and come in through the main casino entrance.
2. At reception, show a valid photo ID. All UK casinos must check age and identity before allowing entry.
3. Once signed in, visit the cashier desk to obtain chips using GBP cash or other accepted payment methods.
4. Walk through to the gaming floor and pick out the area you prefer. Roulette, blackjack and poker tables are clearly marked.
5. Before you sit down, speak to a member of floor staff and confirm the minimum and maximum stakes for that table.
6. For poker tournaments, look at the tournament board close to the poker area, or just ask at the poker desk for that night’s plan.
7. Between sessions, the bar and the restaurant are both just off the main gaming space, so you can step away for food or a drink and then come back.

One point that is worth keeping in mind, wherever you choose to play: if you are completely new to tables, it usually helps to stand back for a few minutes and watch a game run. You get a feel for the tempo, the way players act, even how chips are placed, and that often does more for confidence than reading through pages of rule explanations.

Slots and Electronic Gaming

Our electronic gaming section has grown quite a bit since the UK government updated gaming machine legislation. We installed around 30 extra slot machines on the floor and added about 90 new game titles on the electronic terminals. The added £10 and £20 jackpot tiers sit alongside the existing options, so stake levels now stretch from lower entry points up to those higher levels in a more gradual way.

Slots do not require any kind of reservation or booking. You come in, convert cash to credits either at a change machine or at the cashier, and then choose a machine that suits you. If you have a particular type of slot in mind - certain jackpot bands or game themes - floor staff are on hand to point you in the right direction or explain which machines offer which style of play.

Restaurant and Bar

Our restaurant trades within the same Grosvenor Casino Thanet premises at Westwood Cross. For booking purposes it appears on OpenTable under the Broadstairs address, and reservations can be made online ahead of your visit. Verified OpenTable guests currently rate the restaurant at roughly 4.0 out of 5 for food, service, ambience and overall value for money, which is a solid score for a casino dining room in a regional leisure park.

Noise levels are generally described as moderate, so it is lively but not overwhelming for conversation. Parking works exactly the same as for the casino itself, using the main free Westwood Cross facilities.

For busy nights, especially Friday and Saturday evenings, it is sensible to secure a table in advance:

1. Open OpenTable and search for “Grosvenor Casino Thanet Restaurant” or filter results by the Broadstairs area.
2. Choose the date and time that suits your plans from the available slots shown.
3. Confirm how many guests will attend and enter your contact details to lock in the reservation.
4. On the day, come to Unit 47 at Westwood Cross and follow the signs through the casino to the restaurant section.
5. On arrival, give your name or booking reference to the host so they can seat your party.

Licensing and Responsible Gambling

Grosvenor Casinos Limited holds a full licence with the UK Gambling Commission. Our Broadstairs premises appears on the Commission’s public register under account number 614 with the formal description “Thanet Grosvenor Casino Unit 47, Westwood Cross, Margate Road, Broadstairs, CT10 2BF.” The parent Rank Group head office address is Rank Group, TOR, Saint-Cloud Way, Maidenhead, SL6 8BN.

We operate within the regulatory framework that applies to licensed casinos in England. This includes rules around customer checks, game fairness, and a clear set of responsible gambling duties. Guests who want to set limits, take a break from gambling or explore self-exclusion options can request details from any member of staff on site, or visit grosvenorcasinos.com for more information on the formal tools we provide.

About Grosvenor Casinos

Grosvenor Casinos has been operating since 1970 and has grown into the largest land-based casino operator in the United Kingdom. Across the group we run more than 50 venues in towns and cities nationwide. Grosvenor Casinos Limited is owned by The Rank Group, a public gambling and entertainment company based in Maidenhead, which also runs casino, bingo and online brands in the UK, Belgium and Spain.

Our Broadstairs casino sits in the regional part of that network. It is not designed as a flagship city-centre showcase, and it does not need to be. Its role is to serve the Thanet area, and the position at Westwood Cross makes that practical. With steady visitor numbers from Ramsgate, Margate and surrounding communities, the club functions as a regular evening destination for local players and diners rather than a place people only visit once.

Taken together, our table games, expanded slots area, poker events and on-site restaurant give guests several ways to use the venue. Some arrive mainly for tournaments, others for a casual session on roulette or blackjack, and a fair number simply book a meal and treat the casino as part of a longer night at Westwood Cross. All of that runs under one roof at Grosvenor Casino Broadstairs.
