Airport Cafe in Ashford

Love this cafe!! Super people, fab menu, clean, and plenty of parking!

This is the place to go on a bike or for a run out in the car. Great food and amazing service.

Always an amazing meal, we go once a week and food is always great. Love the banter with the fab evening staff! They work so hard and go above and beyond. Thanks ladies we love it!

Gone down hill, food is of poor quality and the noise is horrendous . I used to go here all the time when I was working locally, popped back today and it’s awful even the staff member I spoke to said it’s way too noisy. The food was on the table very quickly so it’s obvious it’s sitting pre cooked on the side .

Evening staff are so miserable it is unreal in comparison to the day staff!! Day staff are happy even when busy!! Evening ladys look like they are chewing wasps permanently not even an acknowledgment when at the counter. The day food is amazing. The evening is dreadful ordered jacket potato and was rock solid half inch from the bottom!! Over cooked and not turned in the microwave by looks of it! Tuna and cheese toastie........toast was so burnt resembled charcoal and cheese had been melted into literally a lump! Not spread out in the toastie at all! 5☆ for the morning ladies and food though. My recommendation is if wanna eat here come in the morning!

Fantastic!!! Never been disappointed! Great food and service

Great cafe, clean, well spaced out, friendly staff and good food.

Very nice cafe. I've been here several times and every time it's nice to be here. There is a delicious typical English breakfast here.

Good food. Always piping hot. Visit regular to the Airport cafe . Still think there drinks are expensive but hey its a great place to visit with amble parking.

Excellent biker's cafe. Good food, good service and plenty of parking!

I use the snap parking lot here, great service, the security guy is very nice and helpful, the cleaning guy is equally nice

Love the new indoor seating area! Food great as always and very reasonable. Friendly team there too!

The food was hot, no excess oil, service and food excellent

Roadside cafè yes,but just had one of the the best BLT's i've ever had,and i've had a few😋

Very Quick service, always open

A very popular cafe, just been extended

Outstanding service, food & price Good potions 5 🌟 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely brilliant food was great Really nice atmosphere and staff

Great place for a bite along the road. Price quality very good

A safe and comfortable park close to Dover harbour. snap

Everyone raves about this place, so decided to give it a try today. We ordered 3 breakfasts and wow it looked like slop. The bacon was an unusual colour and cold, the hash browns the worst I have ever tasted(soggy), the eggs were black on the bottom, worst sausage ever tasted and the toast was burnt. All of this for £35, if you like large portions with no quality then this is the place for you. I wish I had taken photos, however we couldn't leave quick enough.

Great truck stop style cafe. Good selection of food and drink. We had a veggie breakfast and Sunday roast at 10.30am. Fast service. Reasonable prices. All good....

Keep going back, the food is always good, great staff, friendly, fast service. Recommend to anyone, the new extension works well

Amazing breakfast, great value, plenty of seating.

Very good food and nice service😃

Good honest cafe food at good price

Great cafe, great service and excellent value for money.

Visited when on a motorbike ride out Like roadside cafes used to be Great portions friendly service Would be great if they could add a dedicated motorbike parking area

Never disappointed when visiting here. Good value for money, great cuppa Like the new extension and ramp for accessible access.

Stopped off for our dinner, nice big portion,good price, 5 star hygiene rating,brilliant. Well worth the visit.

It was clean and tidy the food was good delivered efficiently

Not sure what I expected to be honest. This place has an amazing reputation. I think it was built on large portions of cheap food? It still has that 'greasy spoon' feel, but is just a little better than most. Not so cheap nowadays, but then were is! I can't really fault it, but I also can't find anything to specifically praise it for. It was alright I guess.

Consistently drum up really nice food and service. Excellent for family with funky pods. Been going for years.

This place is awful. Microwaved food, staff shouting and swearing at each other not good when you have children with you.

Major renovation work carried out, classic cuisine at reasonable prices, friendly service.

Snap parking. The store is nearby. There is a barbecue, a microwave, a shower. One of the two owners made a small repair in the recreation area and a new room with a toilet and a shower.

I've been going to the Airport Café in Ashford for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always hot, tasty, and cooked to order, with generous portions and their doorstep-thick toast. Service is incredibly fast and efficient, even when busy, sometimes so quick that your food arrives before you've even settled in! The quality has remained top-notch over the years, making it well worth coming back time and time again. On top of that, the value for money is excellent. If you’re after a proper café breakfast, this is the place to go!

Everything perfectly And docoration

Great service and food excellent. Highly recommended.

I called into the airport cafe for breakfast and a cup of coffee. It was my first visit for quite a few years. Parking area is vast and free. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The coffee tasted cheap. The food tasted ok and plenty of it but lacked quality. This cafe has certainly declined since I last visited which was about 4 years ago. Would I visit again? Yes, I would call in if passing but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit.

I'm glad the truck stop on the motorway was closed. The Airport cafe is only just over a mile from the roundabout, wide country road, and plenty of parking. Just had a full English, perfectly cooked and a decent mug of tea, in a proper mug not a paper tumbler. The staff are pleasant and professional. I'm now set up for the day and a long journey. Thanks, girls.! I'll be back. Sorry, no picture, I ate it all,! 28/2/22 Another most enjoyable breakfast. I'm just off the Eurotunnel, and this gives me time to contemplate driving on the other side of the road. 5/9/22 I remembered to take a photograph this time before demolishing the fare. Ok there is a couple of mouthfuls missing. Thanks girls. 1/3/23 Most excellent start to the day, and a warm welcome back into the uk. Keep up the good work. 7/9/23 Another delicious breakfast, and equally important a hot mug of tea. 5/9/24 Another successful visit. "Express breakfast" today, the bubble and squeak was a delicious addition, it comes recommended. Thanks girls, you've brightened my day.

I have always loved the Airport Cafe but it even better now with the new dining area.

Amazing food and service. It's a great place to eat. Their refurb to make their cafe bigger is amazing. We went there today and could not believe how big the cafe is. It is a fantastic change to a great business. 😁

It’s better not to go into the shower, otherwise you might get stuck there, the door handle is broken. And no hot water. The toilet is dirty, the parking lot is a swamp, the lighting is poor, there is no security. The owners also parked their cars right in front of the truck in the morning, and I could barely get out. It would be possible to give 0 stars.

Super quick service served with a smile. We are all looking forward to the grand opening of the new extension, which is looking great.

My opinion is that it is an expensive place €15 = £12 for a chicken burger with fries and a soft drink. Yesterday I was in warrinton and a large burger with salad and chips even with a fanta £7. The market is free if you want you go and if you don't want you don't go....which is what I will do...not come back. The burger tasted good, but they didn't give me a plate. Neither a glass with the soda is more, nor a fork for the potatoes. I had to ask for it. The decor is American-style, but quite shabby. They are under construction and there was a bit of commotion. The lady who attended to me at all times was correct and pleasant.

There are separate places for trucks without reservations and with reservations. If you have a reservation and you stand in the seats for unreserved drivers, he will ask you to move, even though you have finished tacho. When it comes to social facilities, there is a toilet and a shower with cold water at the front of the parking lot. There are also toilets and showers at the back of the parking lot, the water there is already hot and these barracks may not be inviting, but they are relatively clean there. There are concrete slabs in the parking lot, so it is not a typical gravel parking lot as is often the case in the UK. The owner and security guards are nice guys, they help you park. There are many cameras throughout the parking lot, so it's rather safe. There is good WiFi in the parking lot: Login: A20truckstop2 Password: intruck27

The food is great,I love the liver and bacon,just great!

Excellent!! One of the best breakfasts around!! Fast service with a smile the business is always booming and for good reason!

Food is always good here. Currently undergoing building work, so less tables

The best breakfast ever. Only parking is letting down

Good size portions at a reasonable price. Good service.

Adore this place, food is consistently good, great portion size and fair priced. Love thw design of the place, cute American diner vibes. Staff are always on the ball despite how busy it can get, fab customer service. A favourite of mine always

Good food at very reasonable prices pleasant service very nice people

They add chips to your breakfast! This place is beaut

Friendly staff good food. Will go back again.

Favourite place for breakfast in the south of England, good food, and the girls that work there complete the experience, highly recommend

Great cafe with good food and good prices

Fantastic service. Tasty food and drinks. Nicely cooked. Lovely staff. Very kind talkative staff. First time going there and I would definitely visit again.

A really nice cafe, very popular, lovely staff, nice food, a little on the expensive side compared to your usual local cafe however it still makes a nice treat for a fry up or lunch.

Looks like they are finally getting an extension!! Woohoo!! So looking forward to seeing it completed!? Will check soon...

Stopped for breakfast this morning. Haven’t been here for over 10 years, I used to eat here every day for a number of years with fond memories of a hearty breakfast. Very disappointed with what was served up 2 x rashers of bacon, 1 x sausage, 1 x egg 1x fried slice and a slice of toast with a mug of tea £9.60 seemed a lot for very average food. When Julie used to own/run the cafe it was always spot on. This was a real shame as I always referred back to it as one of the best cafes around. In some ways I wish we hadn’t gone back and remembered it as it was. Very disappointing.

A lovely drive through some quiet country lanes to get here from Tenterden, and a very filling and delicious fried breakfast.

Excellent service and excellent breakfast

Fast break at the top, restaurant the way I like them, old-fashioned Route 66 style 👌👌👌

Very nice place. The food is very tasty. There is a truck park behind the cafe.

Great food, reasonably priced and nice, big portions 😁

Fantastic ( and hot) cooked breakfast, served with a smile, and very little waiting ! Plenty of seating (in and out) and loads of off-street parking. This place is a winner 🏆

Have been coming to this cafe for years. A central point to meet with friends for a catch up. Upon arrival, the car park was suspiciously empty, which I’ve only known when this place is rarely closed. It was open but the familiar happy staff were not there? The buzz of the busyness was non-existent and there was unusual echo as voices carried across the restaurant. The food itself was okay, it was hot but definitely not up to the quantity / quality that once greeted you. I was informed that the cafe had now changed hands, unable to confirm this but if true, it may explain the loss in trade, unhappy staff and negative change in the food being served. Hopefully it can get back to where it was!

Absolute banging cafe. Food was amazing. Fast, hot and great quality.

Great food fast service and reasonable prices

Great little cafe. Food good. Service friendly.

Recently visited this cafe and had a poor experience. The female staff were so miserable and acted as though you were majorly inconveniencing them by being there. Young lady taking orders at the counter was extremely morbid no pleasantries just ‘what do you want?’. The order was wrong twice on top of this and the food was very mediocre but was at least hot. Wouldn’t return!

Brilliant place for stopping and have bite to eat . Menu extensive variety of food available including allergies and intolerances

Very good burgers...at a fair price

Small parking, you can book. I did not make a reservation personally, but on Thursday at 21:00 I parked, badly, very narrowly, the door barely opened. Good lighting, after payment they offered either tea, coffee, or a small bottle of beer.

Nice proper cafe. Quick service friendly staff

Love this cafe for a treat breakfast. Enjoy sitting in their pods especially outside when it is raining.

The Airport Café has improved significantly since my last visit. Service was impressively quick, making it perfect for travellers on tight schedules. The prices are reasonable. What stood out this time was the quality of the ingredients—everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The café has definitely upped its game in terms of both speed and food quality. It's a much more pleasant experience now, offering good value without compromising on flavour. I would recommend stopping by if you're looking for a convenient, tasty meal.

Small SNAP with reserved seats. The toilets and shower at the back of the car park are being renovated for approximately six weeks. Nice and quiet. Tasty food.

I personally don’t like it, for the reason that I had a problem with hot water there (we are talking about the shower). You can defend the nine and calmly move on. There is a good cafe.

Brilliant food , at a good price

Stopped for a cheeky breakfast. Great food, good price and friendly staff.

Always our first stop on landing in the UK. Great bacon sarnies and full breakfasts in a fun atmosphere. Close enough to the motorway to warrant the detour. There’s usually a good selection of trucks parked up which is always a good sign but there are lots of locals who use it as well.

Great place for breakfast, and is biker friendly

This 'greasy spoon' is popular uk and foreign people. Plenty of parking and seating, and fast service service. Great menu for breakfast or lunch

If you are a fan of poorly cooked, pretentious food, and enjoy waiting an eternity for your breakfast....then this is NOT the place for you! Food was spot on, perfectly cooked, portion sizes are excellent, service is great, and timing......well, your breakfast almost beats you back to your table. Would eat here every day if I lived within 50 miles.

This place is always buzzing and it deserves to be. Great selection of traditional options including all the usual fry up varieties alongside very good coffee and tea. The place is nicely decorated and furnished. A favourite spot to catch up with friends over breakfast.

Absolutely the best breakfast around! Always amazing and a great place to go with the family or friends and reasonable prices.

food was excellent service was fast and staff up for a giggle and the place was clean . This is combined with an overnight lorry park and stop over car parks a bit rutted but over the years there's been vast improvements to the outside more covered seating with the extension not to mention some very nice outside seating glass pods .... In all this has gone from grotty roadside to dinner restaurant and I'm pleased to. Say me and the misses go out of our way and travel to eat

It must be at least fifteen years since I last called here. The menu is still great, and just what you need, nothing fancy! Maybe last time I was here, the lorry parking area was just a bit of a rough patch of land, I maybe wrong. It's hard standing now. Look at my other reviews to see where I've been!

I remember when all transport café used to be like this. A busy place and great buzz

Greetings colleagues, quiet village parking under cameras. There is a shower, toilet, good internet, cafe. They do not give a ticket for food.

I've wanted to try this place for quite a while. It was busy as it was Bank Holiday Monday but service was quick after ordering and decent food. Lots of choice on offer. It's not to everyone's taste though as it can be noisy with orders being shouted out regularly

A reasonable place for a reasonable price

Food served very quickly. Quite efficient staff. Casual place.

Always excellent. Food served extra quick. Staff are wonderful x

Just found this place lovley food cooked to order sit/out /in staff friendly toilets clean recommend it

What you expect from a transport cafe.

Experience at the Airport Cafe is always top notch! It is what it is so no frills, order at the counter but the staff are always fantastic, food is brilliant, plentiful portions, value for money and a wholesome selection of classic british food.
