First visit to this lovely Inn and we were not disappointed. Our meals were beautifully presented as well as tasty, so we all left the table with bellies full! Thank you so much to all the staff at Dover Castle Inn. We shall certainly be visiting here again when next in Kent.

We have visited the inn three times now and very much enjoyed each visit. The staff are hard working, friendly and attentive. It is obvious that they want customers to be happy. The food is very good. There is a varied menu with reasonable prices. There is also a wide range of drinks. The inn was recently refurbished to a high standard. The staff maintain that standard with the decor and presentation being very good indeed. We will be back!

Good to see that the Dover Castle is back as one of the great pub/ restaurants again. Lovely garden with play area for kids. Had the Sunday lunch which was good and plentiful. Waiting staff friendly and professional service. There were 12 of us and all meals came at same time nice and hot. Will be back to try other things on the menu but if you want a good roast at a good price you won't go wrong here.

Had an amazing lunch. Crispy pork belly with pea shoots, bubble and squeak with a cider sauce and apple pearls! Was quite costly at £17.95 but well worth it. The pork just melted and the sauce and apple was so delicious. Bubble and squeak a bit bland but still good. Would highly recommended.

We had a lovely meal with friends at The Dover Castle on Thursday. The food and service were both spot on. Lively presentation, good choice on the menu too. The only downside was that when we ordered a variety of desserts, only one of the choices was available. This didn't spoil our visit, but it would have made it even better if we had our first choices. Tuete were very few other diners, in fact, we were the only people in the area where we sat. It is cosy though.

Disappointing Sunday lunch with the family food average, but service shocking waited 45minutes to have plates cleared away in the end had to go to bar to ask to be taken away where 4 members of staff where having a chat to be told we short staffed. Sadly will not be returning back to this pub . In the cost of living crisis customer service really does make the difference where I spend my money .

Had a delicious steak, cooked to perfection and the chips here are divine!! The peppercorn sauce was also spot on. I actually can't wait to go back and have the exact same meal! So good! I wasn't mad about the mushroom starter, found it to be a little slimey and think the sauce wasn't honouring the mushrooms appropriately. Think there may have been a chicken stock or something that overpowered the mushrooms. Looked great though 👌 The staff were very pleasant & food came out at the right pace. My friend had ham, egg and chips and they'd paired it with an apple chutney which was so unique and worked really well. Loved the bold move there. The venue itself is so nice, it's a shame nobody was making use of the gorgeous and substantial garden. Plenty of outdoor space, loads of tables. The Dover Castle is the type of place you can go for a nice evening meal or likewise enjoy some casual drinks throughout the day. I hope to be enjoying plenty more lunches in this spot. Not to be missed if you are around Teynham 🤩

Charged £15.40 for 3 drinks - two pints of soft drink and one of Guinness. Teynham is hardly Whitstable. In fact that's worse than London prices, when two of the drinks costs pennies. Otherwise the pub was nicely done out.

What a beautiful place this is , it's decorated so homely every where you looked there was something to see. We visited for a birthday celebration .and there was at least 20 of us some with small children. They have a great outdoor eating area plenty of parking round the back and disabled parking at the front. The prices were fantastic and the food was outstanding. They have a large selection of food and special menus which have vegetarian options. They made adaptions to some of the food for the some of the guest with allergies.. We had a large room for our sitting. The staff did such an amazing job when it came to split g the bill they made it easy to do that. We got to experience it all as it was such a sunny day. Also by the car park at the back there was this beautiful field with horses. Not sure what it's called but such an added bonus to this business as a surrounding area The children were so happy there which is something great if your eating out with children. As I am writing this I am still thinking about the food. 💯 Recommend you visit this place. Thanks for making it a lovely day an a huge thanks to all the staff who worked so hard

Was a great evening of music at the Dover Castle. The promised open mic session never materialized but that didn't spoil the night. The pub has a great family vibe and the food was very good. An easy five stars as I'd not been there in a few years but the experience was just as good or if not better than I remembered.

I was very disappointed. Unfortunately the photos seen on their site isn't a turn likeness. As for the food, disappointed doesn't cover it. Our food came out with a moat of gravy. You would expect to be able to serve yourself the gravy, ie It to come out in a gravy boat! Vegetables were either under cooked or over cooked. I think the site photos of food and the interior of the Pub are very misleading. Only positive thing, was the portion sizes of meat. Yet not enough to make me return.

Booked a table for Sunday dinner and the whole experience from start to finish was appalling. Each ordered a roast dinner (2 Turkey and 1 lamb), the meat servings were very generous but the roast potatoes and parsnips were cremated and everything on the plate cold. The vegetables were served separately and they were hot. Food was placed on the table and they just walked away, no ask if we needed anything ie condiments etc. They only cleared the table after we had waited so long we started clearing it ourselves. I had to go to the bar to get condiments and more drinks because at no point was we asked if everything was OK and if we would like more drinks. The dessert menu was left on the table and again had to go to the bar to ask someone to take the order. Desserts came out and the portions were tiny for the price and one dessert didn't have the ice cream as stated on the menu. Again no one to the table to clear away so we left the table and went to the bar to settle the bill. We were asked if everything was OK and when we informed them of the poor service and state of the food we were told the details would be passed on and that was it. Wouldn't visit again which is a shame because with the atmosphere in the place this could have been a nice meal. £70 wasted on awful food and shocking service.

Lovely Kent pub. Visited for my mum's birthday and as a large group with kids they were able to accommodate us. Highlight has to be the food which is great. Photo is of my burger, but as a group we ordered several menu items and all were amazing. Note, portions are huge! Would rate five but two things let them down and arguably 3 stars might be appropriate but the food saved them. First issue was slow service. We were early by 45 mins and they kindly accommodated our large group, but our food came 45 mins after our original booking, 1.5 hours after seating and 75 mins after order. That felt excessive and we also then had to chase condiments and a bread portion which was part of one of the orders Second issue was as a Shepherd Neame pub I'd expect more than just two beers on tap. At the very least a few bottle varieties if not another pump or two.

Food was ok, but could tell the potatoes were not fresh. Meat was nice, but wafer thin (as if pre-packed. I personally think that the food was over priced considering I have eaten other roast dinners elsewhere for the same price or less with everything being fresh. However, the staff were friendly and offered a good service. Toilets were clean as were the outside areas. They also had a park for the kids to play which is fairly rare these days.
