Hog and Bean in Dover

We visited Saturday afternoon, close to closing time (though we didn't know it!) So before long, we were in an empty cafe being tidied up around. We ordered soup and toasted sandwiches, we asked for the soup to be warmed up more (done). The toasted sandwiches weren't toasted sandwiches, they were pieces of toast, very generously filled, but again, Luke warm, and none those crispy corners you get on a proper toastie. We would've preferred to have been told the cafe was closing, it felt a bit awkward!

I love this place but it took more than half an hour to serve a bowl of porridge so do not advise coming unless you have plenty of time to spare.

Saw this place on a previous visit to Deal, but it was just closing, so planned to come back and try it. Pleased we did. Both had the corned beef hash special at £9.95 and a soft drink each, followed by two generous slices of cake and coffees. All food was excellent and we spent £45, about 20% less than other places we've tried. Service was prompt and all staff very friendly. It will make Deal worth visiting again.

i booked high tea for my for my mums 50th and we were made to feel so special by the staff at hog + bean. they were v welcoming and attentive. we had chosen this place as they were able to offer gluten free options. the food was magnificent and there was a huge amount to go around we couldn’t quite believe it ! we had enough to take home and enjoy for some time after! thank you for making my mums 50th birthday so special , we would without doubt recommend hog + bean to others. thank you so much :))

Birthday treat. I have never seen so much food! All delicious and fresh. One gluten free in our party and this was not a problem. Staff very friendly and helpful. Took pics of our little party for us. Such good value. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return. Thank you so much.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff, gorgeous restaurant. They have gluten free bread available and can replace it for the baps and sandwhiches and toasts also their sausages are GF! Very accomodating! Very delicious.

Sat in the back room at this very friendly café. Our group ordered a range of lunches (including vegetarian) from the menu and all were very complementary

Lovely Sunday roast reasonably priced. Very friendly and great service.

Lovely lady delivered 2 very enjoyable Sunday lunches Thank you

Coffee and food were excellent.

Lovely little cafe , friendly staff, nice atmosphere. But most importantly good food ( my roast was lovely and £12)

Very lovely Sunday lunch, thank you. We haven’t ordered for ages and it was every bit as good as we remembered.

Great food and coffee for a good price! Friendly staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of.

We have been a big fan of the sausage rolls at the Saturday market fir some time. But it was yesterday when we had some at the Kingsdown Castle fete we realised where they were made. First we had the pork and sage sausage rolls. As always perfecy, juicy and crispy. Then we shared coffee cake, made with their coffee sold in the cafe. Very nice indeed . Then the malteser cheesecake, rich but light too. Everything served while we were there look so good. We will be regulars now. Sian is the genious behind the counter and plans and bakes the cakes and other goods. She also gives out baking tips. Rob was her helper today and is such a fun person. In Deal it is a great place to go. There are also gluten free choices . And a big plus for us is dog friendly.

Awesome Breakfast Spot! Hog and Bean is such a great find! We stopped in for breakfast and loved everything about it. The coffee is amazing, and the cakes on display looked so tempting. No wonder it’s a favorite with the locals—the prices are super reasonable too. We had egg and soldiers and a bacon bap, and both were delicious. The vibe was really chill, and Rob and his team took great care of us. If you’re nearby, definitely check out Hog and Bean. You won’t regret it!

The street frontage immediately attracted me. I enjoyed a very tasty and excellent value vege stack here with an equally excellent coffee. The service was very welcoming and friendly. I found a gem of a cafe in Deal.

Delightful little cafe with an incredibly attentive owner who's more than happy to make recommendations or alterations if required. The mango and stilton sausage roll was excellent (it's a more subtle flavour than it sounds like) and the toasties are very generously filled. A great find.

Food was very tasty, portion size was good. Had 3x roast dinners, pork, Pork & Beef, Beef. Beef was lean and pork was moist and tasty included crackling. Veg was great, firm but cooked. Gravy was tasty however, one recommendation would be maybe to serve the gravy Seperate On take out orders? Yorkshire puddings were Seperate and very good. Happy with the meal. I arrived earlier than planned for collection but staff were accommodating and had it all ready within 5 mins. They sell coffee and cakes, as well as other meals. Some inside seating maybe enough for 30 covers.

Ow my goodness!The most beautiful roast dinners I have ever tasted! It went down well with the whole family. I had the beef which just melted in your mouth.My husband had a bit of both, let’s just say the crackling went down extremely well. The children shared a veggie sausage and they devoured it! The potatoes were delicious, the right amount of salty, crispy tasty with a hint of rosemary. Genuinely absolutely stunning.To top it off we had the apple crumble with custard for pudding. To die for!

Had Sunday lunch yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere too. Also the toilet is the cleanest I have ever used!

I went to Hog & Bean for scones and tea. As a huge fan of cream tea, I was a little disappointed. The scones were enormous, which was part of the problem. Large baked goods made with baking powder tend to be dry, and these were no exception. They were also served with what seemed more like whipped cream than clotted cream, which was another letdown. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the tea was very good.

Lovely staff and food, always helpful with little ones!

Fantastic business, all aspects excellent, definitely to become a regular place to visit on future trips to deal.

Probably the best roast dinner in Deal. Try the beef 👌

Best bubble and squeak I’ve ever had. Good stuff 👏

Worth the visit the Hog and Bean for the Sunday Lunch, my wife had the homemade lasagna. So tasty.. value for money. Very friendly staff. Try it out. You will not be disappointed.

Ordered the croque madame and honestly have been raving about it since. I will go all out and say it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Really cheesy, excellent quality ham and the chilli jam made it even better. I was incredibly hungover that day and it sorted me out completely. Highly recommend.

Perfect Sunday lunch! Value for money, excellent food and doubly excellent service.

Great welcome from the staff, food delicious and prices good.

An old favorite that’s gone down hill recently. Food used to be great but recently they’ve been serving vegetables that are definitely past their best and when you mention it they just say “ok”… A hint of a problem should be that no one is eating the vegetables…

Disappointing. Toasted sandwich for £10 comprised poor quality bread with a thin, sloppy filling.

Excellent coffee Really good sausage roll Good gluten free options and knowledgeable about coeliacs. Quite slow service, but the coffee made up for that.

I visited Hog & Bean few times already but I just would like to say big thank you to Rob, Josh and all staff for taking extra care of me and my friend with her little girl. Coffee shop was very busy and they still managed to help us to keep little one happy. I always recommend Hog and Been for very friendly and helpful service and delicious food. They get very busy but all staff makes you feel welcome and check on you regularly and make sure that you as a customer are happy. Thank you again, we will be definitely back!

Had friends over and they say it was the best roast they had ever tasted 😊

Lovely little cafe with great breakfast/brunch options. Staff were so friendly and accommodating.

Update.... Popped in for a delicious afternoon lunch Must say pork bap with dripping gravey was awesome and so was my partner's omelette. Crusted new roasted potatoes were excellent. Good traditional tea here and super coffee!! Would definitely revisit and highly recommended. Delightful cafe serving up some excellent coffee and cake. Also there's main meals available which I've not had the pleasure in trying yet. But I can recommend the toast banana bread, absolutely delicious with a perfectly made cappuccino. Staff pleasant, attentive and helpful. Highly recommended

Lovely food. Nice prices. Friendly atmosphere. Local produce. Best hot chocolate

Had coffee cake today and it was one of the best coffee cakes I've had. Spicy sausage roll was also top tier. Great prices as well

Have been using this establishment for a while now and it's usually ok great coffee but today was the worst food we have ever had. The young man serving us was excellent but the food which in my case was a sausage and onion bap was nasty the sausages hadn't seen a pan or a grill the looked raw they had been microwaved so had no colour at all it was just wrong. It's a shame as we will never go there again .

Came across this restaurant by accident. Very welcoming and very busy both eat in and delivery. Haggis on a cooked breakfast was delicious, lovely quality ingredients. Coffee milk shake is a must try. Interesting menu a item's were delicious and very well presented. I'm definitely going back there. We bought cakes to take out, and they were lovely homemade, generous portions moist and fresh. They even roast their own coffee beans. What a find. We have visited today 14.01.2024. Had the Hog breakfast with haggis and sour dough bread toast. Just as good as the first time, we had cakes last time and they did not disappoint.

Chai super sweet. Moodiest female member of staff. Ignored us at the till.

Lovely coffee served by friendly staff. Must have lunch here next time! Very handy for the bus station.

Excellent, will definitely order again . Thank you .

Very unhappy with the service yesterday morning. We thought we will try out the new place after going to wellingtons regularly. Firstly we waited over an hour for our food, yet people who were turning up 30 minutes after us were receiving their food. From here I had to ask a member of staff why ours is talking it’s time and they said “the oven isn’t working properly”, which to me is very concerning if they’re still going ahead with cooking food! Plus we wasn’t notified about this while we was waiting 1 hour. Finally we received our meal which was not too bad but definitely wasn’t worth the £30 after the poor service we had. After me and my girlfriend went to town and she was unwell which to me makes me wonder if the food was cooked properly after being told the oven wasn’t working! Not good at all. I would like to know if anyone else had this issue?

Took over an hour for our food to be served but food good when it came

Didn't even know of those place til we stumbled upon it, I'm glad we did. The breakfast I had (whose name evades me) was truly delicious, consisting of the usual egg bacon and sausage, but also tattycake, black pudding and haggis, couple that with the really attentive staff working the day we visited are the reason we'll be back over the weekend

This is not for the dine-in restaurant but the Hog & Bean Box on Sandown Road, Deal. What a great wee takeaway! Great spot to have a coffee and bacon roll. Exceptionally friendly service too.

Potatoes and Yorkshire rock hard, meat very dry. Cake in with hot food, so it was a melted puddle. I'll stick to peckish, much better food.

Really delighted with our beautiful roast dinners - ordered on a whim and so pleased we did! 100% recommend!

Amazing food. Was so impressed. Got the Sunday lunch and cake.

Food was amazing nice and hot and tasted delicious 10/10 xx

Very much Enjoyed !. Thank You !.

Lovely food though pork was quite fatty. Portion size was smaller than I thought it would be but actually nicely cooked and tasted very good. The delivery lady was lovely. It was only a little late but no doubt they were very busy today (NYD).

Been waiting a while to find a decent roast dinner delivered, well I’ve found it 🙌🏻 Great portions well cooked softest beef I’ve ever had and not thin cut like usual ….. I’m full 😊 Thank you 🙏🏻

Absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

Food had no flavour Potatoes seemed like they have been cooked 5 days ago and re-heated in the microwave Let’s talk about the beef, you could sell that to Michelin tyres it was like rubber… Shame really as was looking for a good place to deliver a roast dinner

Had 2 Sunday roasts now Quality the same. Excellent. Succelent beef! Yum.

Absolutely delicious. Loads of meat which is my favourite part of a roast. Will order again

Absolutely yummy! Fab beef! Thankyou!

Freindly delivery driver. Tasty food. Recommended.

Delicious roast as always 😋 very happy!

The roast dinner I had delivered was extremely tasty and definitely homemade. Will definitely be ordering it again.

Food was delicious. .called the shop to see where our food was as it was very late...they had a rush on orders. .but it was worth the wait!

Absolutely delicious roast dinner

I order from here a lot and usually love the food, but this has put me off permanently. I ordered the pork roast. The yorkshires and potatoes were over cooked to the point of inedible. The pork was dry. And to top it off there was no gravy. Beyond disappointed, it was a very unpleasant meal.

An amazing breakfast, thanks so much x

Absolutely delightful roast dinner to the door! Perfect portion size and extremely tasty. Will be ordering again

Lovely Jubbly the food was delicious. I ordered for my mum who is currently bed bound and myself. Roast beef and pork + veg makes a lovely change from roast chicken. The banana bread with butter and honey went down a treat most definitely will be ordering again.

Lovely coffee and homemade cakes

I order from hog and bean regularly and the service is usually very good and I enjoy the food a lot. Unfortunately, today it was 40 minutes late and arrived cold. However I did microwave it and it was okay, but a bit soggy. I am a bit disappointed but I do understand since it is Easter Sunday perhaps things were more hectic than usual. Despite this, I would order again and recommend to someone else. I think it’s just a one time thing hopefully. Many thanks.

Lovely take away Roast Dinner today 👍🏼

Small place so not good groups larger than 4, but amazing tasting food. Not your usual menu either 👍 Good variety

Food arrived on time. It was lovely and there was lots of it. Would definitely order again.

Absolutely love their Yorkshire Pudding wrap with the worlds best gravy, delicious.

Nice roast although the pork was a bit overdone. Lovely beef and gravey

Excellent roast beef lunch. Delicious !

Good food, good coffee, very friendly staff

Fantastic roast dinner. Would use again. Thank you! 😃

Good service. Excellent coffee. Enormous sausage bun without onions.

Loved it here! Try the Yorkshire wrap!

A great substantial sandwich for lunch in a quirky friendly venue.

Lovely lunch and great service.

Large selection of different type food on the menu. Very good quality. Very friendly staff and interesting decor.

Always really good here. Tasty food and quick delivery. Tastes homemade and no dishes to wash up :)

Thank you Louise for the beautiful afternoon tea for my Aunt and Uncle for his 90th birthday. They were very impressed by the quality and quantity of the sandwiches,cakes and scones. I will certainly be visiting you the next time I'm in Deal. Also thank you for your help to organise the surprise Rena From Scotland xx

Saw good reviews online so thought we would try this place for an all day breakfast at lunch time. It took a while for our food to come out but it was so worth the wait. The food was lovely. Also a coffee included in the breakfast which I expected to just be a standard coffee like most places but was given the option of a latte/cappuccino etc which was nice. There looked to be a gorgeous selection of cakes and I heard them saying they had home made trifle and apple crumble too. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

I have been to Hog & Bean a few times, great food and great service

Fantastic Sunday roast, thank you!

This is a lovely little coffee shop, freshly ground speciality beans. Home baked cakes and savoury products. We had soup served with a warm cheese scone. Can't recommend the food high enough. Not our first visit, so consistent quality is obviously high on their menu. It's a must if you are in Deal wanting a little treat.

Absolutely beuatiful food. Cooked perfectly delivered on time to the minute! See you next Sunday!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, just had a chai latte but the food looked wonderful!

Super breakfast, with toast and a pot of tea. They have cakes to amaze you with coffee or tea. Makes for a super pit stop in Deal Kent. Happy to recommend as the service is really good also.

The food arrived on time and was great quality.

I think I've just had the best sandwich and coffee ever..

Great little cafe that roasts their own coffee beans every morning, run by a fellow Scot. I particularly love the Ugandan coffee from Mount Elgon and the Guatemalan coffee. Lots of home made cakes and scones. I had a delicious steak, Stilton cheese and sticky onion ciabatta for lunch, the steak was so tender. Lots of other choices for lunch.

Super friendly staff, delicious food at a great price. Fantastic all round.

The roast dinner in a Yorkshire pudding wrap is amazing!!

Not my cup of tea, excuse the pun. Was going to eat but the trendy overpriced menu didn't match my taste buds or wallet and the sub-standard attempt at Boho put me off. Staff seemed to be mucking about and they lacked professionalism. Just had a coffee which was OK but would have spent more if the pricing menu and surroundings were less pretentious. I noticed a customer came in for a sausage roll and promptly left when the price was mentioned. I ended up in an email exchange with who I assume was the owner, following my initial review. Lou was seemingly looking for feedback but she simply justified and defended so I'm inclined to give 2 stars which was to be my initial rating but I was trying to be gentle. Ultimately I was disappointed with the cafe and then a pointless follow up which I felt was more like a passive-aggressive gesture rather than a genuine attempt to improve the customer experience. Looking back at the reviews I can see many customers are happy but I'm not alone in my view and noticed another review mentioned staff behaviour. I would feel too cringy about going back now especially after writing this lot!

Lovely place, friendly staff and good food selection. I had the hot roast wrap which was delicious though I had to take half of it away with me as it was huge! Took away some yummy cake too.

Really enjoyed collecting orders from here, polite staff, efficient, food looks lovely. Selection of coffee. 10/10 quality little estabment.
