Airport Cafe in Ashford

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

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

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.

Everything perfectly And docoration

Great service and food excellent. Highly recommended.

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.

It was clean and tidy the food was good delivered efficiently

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.

Very expensive for warmed up microwave meal

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.

Coming from up north prices are higher then I was expecting but food portions are huge, believe the hype, great food fast service 5*

£7 for a bacon sandwich, with a rasher and a half and one egg. Tasted fine (wanted to for the price) but I won't be returning.

Great stop of for a traditional English breakfast. Lovely staff and quick service.

Absolutely banging place to get breakfast on the weekend! Me, my husband and my friends go here to grab breakfast while we're out on the bikes and always feel happy and safe parking up- with being able to keep an eye while we eat breakfast it relieves a lot of stress. Thanks for always doing a great breakfast 🥰

We love the Airport Cafe. We don't just visit because it's local we visit because it's the best. The staff are always smiley, and the service is fast. It's never a long wait for food, and the food / portions are always consistent.

I'm sorry to say it wasn't nice the breakfast I had had no taste Fried bead was soggy Egg very over done Beans hadn't taste (over cooked ) kept warm Sam with tinned Tom's For got the bread/butter ( they needed a reminder) Bacon is the cheap type I've been there for along time It went down hill when new owner took over So nor been there since

Absolutely lovely little cafe. Great food, amazing service! Food was ordered and placed on our table within 10 minutes. They obviously know how busy they get! Brilliant.

This place never dissapoints, food couldn't be better value for money. Service always happy and friendly. I am lucky to have it on my doorstep. I would give it more stars if I could. Well done to all who work there.

This used to be a great place to have a great breakfast at a reasonable cost. It's now an expensive low quality plateful and very little customer service. It seems greed has taken over quality of customer satisfaction.

Just had a breakfast there the food was top notch and the service even better waitresses were very chat and the food came out as soon as I sat down and it was delicious I highly recommend this place 👌

Big Thumbs up from me 5⭐️ Great food, brilliant staff & loads of parking for trucks & car etc.

Went here on today and had a burger and chips but the cheese was a little bit too much but great service. 😃

Wasn't what I was expecting but was an amazing place such nice food and atmosphere

Very atmospheric place. I like visiting him. I've had the pleasure of being here several times. The service is always nice and polite, clean. They have very good food here. I rate the food itself 4/5 because I am used to Polish family cuisine and this is English and suffers from a lack of spices. However, don't let anyone be discouraged, this is simply the style of cuisine in England ;) I recommend a visit and I will definitely visit this place again! For drivers: There is a free shower, toilet, barbecue area, and a communal kitchen/social room.

The lady who served me today was very rude and the staff constantly misserable will not be returning. Food messed up aswell rip off prices

Lovely staff. Very quick service, and a great size plate of food for a good price 👍 always welcomed when in a group with other motorcycle riders

Gone downhill a bit. Chips not as good as they were. I ordered extra potion of bubble & squeak which was tiny for £2.70ish & much smaller portionthan it used to be.

Been coming here for year's, Really big portion sizes,and a great choice and reasonably priced.

I pass here 5 days a week, stopped for the first time OMG old school cafe the breakfast was awesome thanks.

Just like that) The only good thing is that you can book a place. In this case, the parking staff will place the arrival cone in place.

Great food and lots of choice, lovely atmosphere. Can sit onside or out. Gets very busy at weekends as so so popular. Staff so friendly and so helpful. Visit often. Love this place.

Great cooked food.. Good price as well

Hi we are biker group which has been coming to your cafe for 14 years . Which we have no complaints over food or service , the gals are always friendly and helpful . We spend as a group £3000 -£4000 per year . .. what we don’t like is price and portion size ,prices up ….portion size down , we went to oasis cafe this week where we had breakfast, same price, but 2 0f everything inc hash browns ……. inc tea coffee and toast , with smaller option at £7.90 .your views please .. or maybe you should have breakfast there …and check it out …☹️

Great cafe with indoor and outdoor searing. Good menu, very reasonably priced. Staff were fantastic

A very popular venue. Good food that is served quickly. We'll known locally. A typical cafe that is reasonable priced and popular with motoring groups.

It is not convenient to stop disastrous treatment and small parking and everything reserved for them I will try not to stop anymore

Excellent place for food. Fresh cooked. Can get busy at peak times. Staff 👍👍👍

1st ever visit it was busy for breakfast I have had better breakfast food could have been hotter but I will be back

We stumbled across this by accident but ended up eating there three times. The meals were very tasty and good value for money. Quick service, hot meals and very nice. There was quite a variety of main courses and it was hard to decide sometimes 😊 We would definitely recommend it.

Excellent food all fresh and good portions. Great value and swift service as always

Good food, friendly service, clean , what more could you ask for.

We stopped here for a quick bite on the way to Port Lympne and are very glad we did too. Food was outstanding, hot and fast and the service especially for an extremely busy Sunday was outstanding. We will definately visit again when we are down that way.

Rode for 2 hours from London on my bike to get to this Cafe.... the homemade steak pie ended up being the best I had ever had in my life. Well worth it, would come back again :)
