Reasonable priced items · via Google [Terence Jones](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113675220771793166137/reviews) ★★★★★ I was in Margate to take someone to the hospital and as there was no parking there we parked up here and popped in for a drink. I did think that the prices might have been cheaper on the sea front as the bacon butty here was £5.75 and I thought at @Horrnby the ingredients would come out on a plate and we would have to fix them together ourselves · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d953125293b9db:0xe8fbba415c0bfcc1!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this museum offers a fascinating collection of model trains, Scalextric, Airfix, and Corgi, with interactive displays and insights into product design.
