Amazing service. I went in with a lady I support and the staff were very helpful. We were greeted by Abby who asked if we needed a table close for ease of walking. An alternative portion size menu was offered. Its not very often you see this but it's nice to see such awareness for these needs. Thank you Abby and your colleagues.

Stopped for coffee and cake We received a friendly welcome. Really nice spacious eating area with outside seating too. Lots of attentive staff. We had a pot of tea ,carrot cake , a strawberry milkshake and the raspberry cheesecake. The carrot cake was very light and tasty. A fluffy cheese cake tasted fantastic. A very good experience for us both.

I really like the location of this place. Have been twice now. First time quiche was under done in the middle & runny. Second time I asked for fried eggs & sourdough toast with cherry toms..(an extra £1 for fried not scrambled 🙄 on top of the £9.45 it already was). Toast was fried not toasted, it was tiny and thin ...not a decent amount of sourdough. We ordered more sourdough toast and paid for that so we could have toast with our breakfast but that was so thin cut I could see through it!! I think for nearly £11 each a tiny bit of fried toast & 2 small eggs is a bit much. I'll happily pay this & more if its good (i.e Macknades Faversham) but not when its subpar!

I clearly asked the staff who were responsible for serving cakes and if there were raisins in the carrot cake. They went and asked the chef, and I was told no. When I collected the cakes from the counter, I queried this again and was told it was dates. In fact, when I got home, it was discovered it was raisins. Luckily, I don't get a severe reaction to them, and if I didn't live so far away, I would have returned in person. The chef definitely needs to have much better knowledge of the ingredients that are being served

We held my daughters Wedding reception at Frankies Farmshop on 3rd August 2024. There's not enough words that I can express to say what an amazing time we had. Jen and the team at Frankies were outstanding. The service was exceptional and the help we received from Jen leading upto the event was so professionally done, it felt like we had our own in-house wedding planner. We received so many compliments from the guests who also really enjoyed the food. Thank you Jen and all, you really made my daughters wedding so special. I'll forever be appreciative.

Visited on 4th May + 3 further times this year. Food, Service and Value for money excellent, Chairs could be more comfortable.

Staplehurst's hidden gem. Had a couple of hours to kill as I was taxi for others to Balfour Winery and thankfully found Frankie's after a quick Google search. Lovely little farm shop with lots of local produce including cheese, wine, cider, pies and cured meats. All reasonably priced too. Had brunch in the cafe and received a really friendly welcome, which is always nice when eating on your own. Delicious eggs royale with plenty of salmon and a really nice well balanced hollandaise. Americano to wash it down. An absolute god send to find when I had some time to kill, glad I did as I'll be back again for brunch without a doubt!

Always an enjoyable experience and good food however today's visit was marred by the acoustics. Its lovely to see a place busy and thriving but it is spoilt by being unable to hear your friends clearly and have a reasonable conversation. Had to move tables due to a very large party having afternoon tea to hear ourselves think. Please Frankie, do something about the acoustics. Your excellent staff agreed and said they struggle when taking orders and speaking to customers.

The restaurant area is very pretty and spacious and was full of happy customers, looks like a lot of groups of people meet up here regularly. It has great parking and good access for the local towns which it sits between. We enjoyed our cheesecake and coffees and things from the brunch menu. It does get noisy in the restaurant and the food is pricey, could be very good in the summer sitting outside with friends, shame there is no view of the local area. I've heard the lunch menu is very good, hopefully I'll go back to try it out.

I have visited twice for Afternoon Tea before but not anything else. Mum and I decided to have meal yesterday. It was totally booked and had a couple of large parties so we expected a bit of a wait. The orders for our drink and main course were very good and the food tasted amazing. However we ordered our desert and after about 20 mins the waitress said she would find out why we were still waiting but after waiting a total of 30 minutes for 2 ice cream sundaes we decided to cancel them and pay and leave. The reason we were given for the long delay was that the table with a large party on one of the other tables had ordered 7 sundaes but every desert I saw go to that table was a cake with cream. So what started out as a lovely meal ended up very disappointing. I know they were very busy but come on, these were effectively 2 ice creams!!

Been frequenting Frankie’s for sometime now, as the location is perfect for meeting a dear friend for lunch and occasionally for breakfast. On the last few visits we’ve (my friend and I) have found the food and cooking to be lacking in quality and this morning’s breakfast was no exception. The vegetarian breakfast was lukewarm, tasteless and the poached eggs were like bullets. And I suggest a new toaster/grill is purchased because the so called “toast” was basically soft bread. And my dear friend’s toasted sausage & egg sandwich was poorly cooked (sausages were still pinkish in the middle) and the eggs were snotty. Apologies if someone is eating while reading this review. Having cooked for a living myself over the years, I feel that if a restaurant’s standards of a basic cooked breakfast is lacking, maybe there’s a problem within the kitchen environment? I’m disappointed that my opinion of Frankie’s has changed because at first I thought it was a great place to enjoy traditional English dishes in a lovely setting. Can’t say I’ll be revisiting anytime soon. 😔

Met here for breakfast with some friends. Lovely cafe and the food is good, but it is expensive. £10 for a bowl of Greek yogurt with some granola and dried fruit on the top is quite a lot to pay, although it was very nice. Service wasn't the best though - the place wasn't full and there were several staff waiting on the tables, but I had to get up twice to ask for something as they weren't watching to see if anyone needed help. The shop and garden centre sections are very good and they have a lot of lovely items that would make great Christmas gifts, so overall worth a visit.

Frankie's Farmshop offers a brunch experience that stands out, with a higher price tag than most, but the food quality is undeniably top-notch. The attentive staff enhance the overall dining experience. Although the £4 price for a Diet Coke seems steep, the beautiful layout and surroundings make it a worthwhile visit, creating a balanced but somewhat pricey culinary adventure.

Was in the area and had seen a little on social media prior so thought why not pop in. Such a disappointment as the food was hugely over priced and had better in a Wetherspoon’s.

Stopped by for Bruichladdich this morning. Had full English (swapped beans for hash browns). It's interesting to see that the default for eggs was poached - which is great.

Always a good breakfast at Frankie's. My wife and I go regularly. Editing my review now after a couple of years. Scottish breakfast is no longer on the menu, replacement "full" English breakfast is nothing of the sort, and you have to pay extra to get half-cooked fried eggs instead of poached. The bacon was dry and tasteless and there was no black pudding offered on the menu, even as an extra. At the end of our meal we were harassed by the waitress to pay and leave, and even then she got our bill wrong and had an attitude when we wanted to split it between us, as we had always done with no problems before. Unfortunately Frankie's has gone from a 5 star breakfast to less than one star. You get better service, and a much better breakfast at a greasy spoon cafe, for less than half the price. Frankie's was our favourite breakfast place on a weekend. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Pizza was delicious, but we get wrong order. We asked for Home alone offer, there should be pizza, chicken wings, garlic breads and 1,5 l bottle od soft driknk (we chosen diet coke). The driver brought us pizza, garclic bread, three kinds of cakes, coleslaw salad and 1,25 litre bottle of normal coke. Later he came back for this, we gave him the cakes and coleslaw, but we didn't get chicken wings, because he said it wasn't on the receipt. So we don't recommend.
