Beautiful “nourish” breakfast sitting at a table overlooking the fields on a hot summers day! Nice atmosphere and something totally different. Will be back!!

Beautiful location with stunning views. Cafe/facilities clean and well laid out. That's where the good ends. We stayed for a coffee after parkrun. Drinks were reasonably priced with fresh fruit smoothies (mostly apple juice based) but cakes/pastries were excessively high - £6 for a slice of coffee cake! Wasn't tempted to look at other food given those prices. Not looking to return to the cafe for sure.

Such a great venue but totally spoilt by the poor & mostly inattentive staff. It’s also hugely overpriced, for a country cafe, I’d hesitate before recommending it to anyone.

I do love Kingdom as a setting and the food is good but boy is it expensive for what it is. One thin slice of chocolate fudge cake at £6.50! By my reckoning that slice was no more than 1/16th of a whole cake. That’s £200 a cake at one hell of a margin that just seems to be taking the mick. Price it more sensibly and we’d come moffen and eat more. Instead we just grab a coffee. On top of that, whenever we go no matter how busy, there always seems to be confusion behind the bar as to to who is doing what in terms of taking orders, paying, delivering to tables, making drinks, etc. Customers getting exposed to that while queues and waits form. Seems like there is a better system needed which ironically was a similar experience we had at their sister restaurant The Beacon the same weekend.

Lovely setting, inside is quite striking with its wood and twinkly lights, staff are polite and Banana Smoothies are amazing. Sadly that is where the joy ends. Went on a busy Saturday with all tables full so would expect a bit of a delay. Drinks came quite quickly, but food took ages and was a little disappointing, more could be done with presentation, even a tiny garnish might have helped. Having said that it tasted fine. Cutlery and glasses looked like they all needed a bit better cleaning.

Ordered 4 drinks and checked the order twice before paying. 3 cool /not hot drinks arrived. Checked order at counter, told 3 on my order only. Staff got it incorrect ,no options offered other than go to the back of the long queue!! Not impressed. Could have been handled better.

Visited whilst the Kent artists were having their annual exhibition. Well laid out building with the top floor being used for the exhibition. The lower floor was the restaurant area. An unusual menu with no sandwiches which is usually the staple product for a café like this. Pleasant staff but serving was very slow. Didn’t manage to have a walk in the grounds as it was continuous rain while we were visiting.

Staff are lovely, food is excellent and the setting is beautiful. Great place for bite to eat or a coffee after a weekend walk with the family. I read a previous review from a French gentleman about arrogant and rude service (oh the irony) and suggest that you ignore it. The service is busy, because it is popular, but if you want a nice setting with good food and a warm welcome, Kingdom is a good choice.

Staff ruin this wonderful place. Upon arrival, one can’t help but be impressed, it’s visually breathtaking, I’m excited but immediately my bubble is burst when staff look down their nose at me when I ask, ten minutes before opening time, when they open. Unsurprisingly, they don’t listen to our order and can’t make the effort to well cook an egg as a friend of mine cannot bear runny eggs. My espresso is undrinkable so order and pay for a flat white but after prompting staff several times and a twenty minute wait give up and walk out. Nobody makes an effort to fulfill the order I paid for. Staff are arrogant and unfriendly, clearly reliant on wealthy staff who are happy to hang in a place that looks cool despite being treated like scum and having to eat mediocre overpriced food.

Unique setting with wonderful views ove, Kent. Interesting building with great sense of community, activities and an art studio. Food at the café is good quality, similar pricing to most cafes in the area but much nicer setting.

Visited Kingdom with Niece and Great Nephews aged 1 and 3 and has a super visit. Lovely walk around the whole fitness trail in the glorious sunshine picking blackberries and watching the planes fly overhead. Lots of walkers with children and dogs….saw some Yoga activity, saw a new sauna and plunge pool set up, saw a lovely external wedding venue being set up for the weekend. Great restaurant set up for children and dogs, lovely helpful staff and lovely menu. Options to sit outside in the sun or in a large open airy inside. Great food, the Boys had homemade baked beans on sourdough toast, and the adults had avocado and fried egg on toast with add on smoked salmon and halloumi and chorizo hash. Both delicious. Lovely location for brunch / lunch in the glorious Kent countryside. Great location for kids and dogs. Highly recommend.

I've visited here multiple times, and the staff are helpful and attentive, the surrounds are beautiful. However, it is rather expensive for what you receive. The portions are small, and today I ordered avacado with eggs on toast for £9.50. You receive ONE tiny egg (which is fried so it's deliberately spread out to look deceptively larger than what it is), with barely a quarter of a small avacado. It looks meagre and pathetic on the plate... The least they could do is serve 2 eggs. It's a shame, as the setting is gorgeous.

This is a very special place to seek peace and tranquility amongst nature with a stunning view over lush countryside. Food and service very good and the crepe van is a lovely addition.

Awful choice of food for somewhere that with its yoga etc promotes health, the only food options were bacon\sausage bap, hash browns, beans on toast, mushrooms on toast, avacado & egg on toast. Food was nice but came on large trays which only highlighted small portions and lacking garnish and extras. Beautiful setting but table was dirty, staff were ok but no oomph about them. Had ran out of sauce and toasties. Prices were high end of average considering the actual offering it wasn’t good value. But the real reason I wouldn’t go back? £4 for a can of fizzy drink. Is absolutely diabolical and quite frankly greedy and disgusting. £4 for one small can of coke? Haven’t even paid that where I work in London. There is an air of arrogance. It has huge potential but it’s just lacking something.

Terrible customer service, waiting for coffee after Saturday morning parkrun. Long queues, completely disorganised meant c20 potential customers walked away rather than wait. Staff disinterested and unresponsive. Oh and it’s overpriced

But, dearie me, the breakfast! At £13.70, far too expensive for what it was: Just one egg Small slice unbuttered toast Two 4" strips of streaky bacon - the first time I have ever put salt on bacon, it had no flavour at all somehow One sausage - nice Disc of black pudding - pleasant enough Virtually inedible baked beans. Some bright spark has decided home made is the way forward, crunchy beans, al dente has nothing on these, in a pretty indifferent sauce. Extras were £2 a throw This was a miserly plate with quality ranging from acceptable to abyssmal for too much money. Some things on the menu may be better at brunch time - sausage and egg roll perhaps- a mere £8 plus. It is a lovely spot in the countryside with decent outside seating for a warm day. The cake looked lovely, maybe tea and cake in the afternoon would generate better reviews. It is just a shame that the owner has obviously deluded themselves into thinking that their hot food offer is actually good!

My first time at Kingdom Cafe Lovely coffee in beautiful surroundings and very good friendly service. Look forward to going again and trying the snacks next time x

I am a regular customer at Kingdom and often enjoy brunch in this lovely cafe. The location is unbeatable and I have never been let down by the food. Yesterday's Mothers' Day Feast event was no exception. Really excellent food, good sized portions and a...

Beautiful place, fabulous yoga & walks but give the cafe a miss. So noisy & so so slow. Only ordered a coffee it took 20 mins to arrive, after we reminded them of our order.

Great location, fab breakfast and lovely coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful and atmosphere was chilled and relaxed.

They’re back! Finally the food is back up to its standards pre-covid! Well done team! Still miss sitting upstairs in the winter but also love the outside in the summer so can’t win. Give it another try - lovely setting and people! Tasty home cooked...

We've been to Kingdom on several occasions. I understand that many people find it below par. It's a big and unusual space. It's not a restaurant just a large off the beaten track cafe. I'm happy with it, just go with the flow. Sure, it's...

This was my first visit and I will return, but the lunch salads today were weirdly lacking. With a tasty leek quiche there was absolutely no green salad on offer - just couscous or potato salads - so starch or starch. Very odd at 12.15pm...

As everywhere else specially now with the prices increase the quantity is much smaller than it used to be and the quality is below average. My 3 year old nephew would have done a better toast with avocado and 2 poor eggs on it. No...

The location is absolutely Stunning , you won’t find anywhere better. Very nice drinks / coffee but please ask your chef to order a better quality sausage and especially the bacon - this is extremely poor. It’s a shame as it really could be stunning...

Total waste of money. Sort of place that advertises a single piece of bacon in a burnt bun as some kind of high end food. May as well cook the bacon on my car bonnet in this heat and it would be just as good...

We're local to Kingdom and whilst we adore the space and have had enjoyable time here over the years, we've really noticed a decline in the cafe and service. Case in point was today: Father's Day. Got there for just after 10am. Waited to order...

This place has so much potential, a stunning location and lots of space to relax and roam. Kingdom’s menu is equally attractive and its coffee delicious. Weekend staff were sweet but untrained so service was chaotic - no one wants to queue 30 minutes for...

It's such a pity because the building and location are fabulous. The trouble is the noise of the children. Although some parents treat places like creches and let their children run amok, for the sake of everyone else, especially those who want to have a...

The slowest coffee I’ve ever ordered! Lovely place let down by the service. I would recommend the views, but leave the cafe

Wouldn’t recommend visiting on a weekend. Long wait times just for a mug of tea! Children can’t wait so long to get a drink. Sadly disappointed as it used to be so good. Service is now awful, staff couldn’t care less and man on the...

The view you get outside is incredible however eat and drink before you come here - I paid £10.50 for a beef burger with a patty half the size it should have come with, with no chips on the side and not even the option...

We hadn’t been to Kingdom before and set ourselves a walk via Salmons lane. On arrival we were impressed at the look of the building and how it used so much natural structure…kind of a ‘Treetops’ look We’d earned our Latte and Earl Grey and...

I was in today and was very shocked at how lacking everyone was! The wait times for drinks alone were horrendous. I ordered a cappucino and it was all foam, took 15 mins and was burnt. I had a coffee here last week and it...

Most disappointed to see that people are very quick to criticise the staff and service. After seeing how exhausted some of them are with hardly any breaks and on minimum wage its hardly surprising. Very badly run by unprofessional management who think they can talk...

Lovely setting beautiful building let down by disorganised staff slow service even considering the fact of it being Mother’s Day. Took 25 minutes just for a mocha and a tea!! Appears management hadn’t considered getting more staff in even though they had had many phone...

We regularly walk the dogs to this fantastic hilltop cafe. The menu is refreshingly varied and caters for all tastes. Today we had Eggs Royale, with smoked salmon and sour dough, and overnight oats which has so many ingredients but to name a fee inckudes...

We visit Kingdom often, great for a little walk with young children and a nice track to take bikes on too. (Pram friendly). Cafe is nice, good cakes and coffee (although the cake selection could be wider or at least they could change it around...

Huge wait for 2 coffee’s, there wasn’t a queue, they just seemed really disorganised. Also, both coffee’s were handed over to us, held by the rim of each cup. Disappointing all round at £6.

We had heard good things about Kingdom (although no idea how looking at the reviews) so decided to check it out for my husband’s birthday. Being somewhere that catered for veggie and vegan we assumed it would have at least one gluten free option however...

I met a friend for a light breakfast and coffee at Kingdom. Surrounded by nature in a stunning natural setting. I found the staff very friendly . I am going there again this Saturday with 10 of my friends.

Had heard good things about thus venue but was sadly disappointed. Granted it was a rare sunny Sunday and so busy. By 1.30 pm the menu was limited. Several items were no longer available including eggs which feature quite heavily in a lot of their...

Comfortable seating and tasty food, but let down by the very unfriendly lady serving us. She seemed quite put out by the fact that she had to speak to customers. Passive aggressive responses and obvious displeasure at having to take orders, answer questions, etc. It...

We saw a circular walk advertised in the Times on Saturday so decided to walk it before it got too busy. Lovely out of the way walk and then back to Penshurst Place and had we walked left and around the Place we would have...

Staff were unhelpful when asking questions about the food. Generally rude and abrupt with any sort of communication. Felt this generally let the atmosphere down, has put off returning and recommending. Please advise all staff that manners and politeness go a long way.

Took some friends for breakfast this morning. We haven’t been for a while and had promised a great place with really good food. Still a lovely outlook and building, but the whole food element has been horribly dumbed down. Orange juice in a carton, coffee...

Great location and good coffee. They seem to be struggling with staffing like everywhere. However, what was more frustrating was limited food choice, esp for children (perhaps intentional) and probably the most expensive sausage roll by cm2 in the whole of Kent. If the menu...

What a fantastic place to find in the middle of the English countryside. Smart, sophisticated, cool and ethical. Good food in a great setting.

Kingdom in Penshurst is one of my favourite places to visit for the atmosphere, food and very friendly staff. But on a family visit today Unfortunately the Food Menu did not live up to our expectations. It was poorly displayed, lack of choices, lack of...

I rarely write a review but I wanted to balance the others on here because my experience (over many, many visits) of the quality, food and coffee, service and ambiance at Kingdom is amazing.

We had our first visit to Kingdom today; despite recommendations of good coffee, ours was awful, I’m sorry to say. Lovely friendly girls served us, but despite me asking for a strong flat white (I requested them not to fill the cup to the top...

We visited for lunch on a Sunday, six of us including two children. Something about the American West in the atmosphere. Food was good. Plenty to do in the outside areas, walking etc. Easy parking.

Uncomfortable atmosphere not helped by the on edge and unwelcoming male staff. Such a shame about this as the location is lovely and coffee superb. A successful and good establishment is about who is running it. Smile people... make us feel welcome. We went out...

Visited on the 7th November and was left very disappointed. I appreciate that covid has hit and left some places struggling, so I will bypass issues like seating, social distancing etcetera but I was shocked at the poor and quite frankly rude service from the...

Agree with the previous review. Circumstances are difficult for cafes in general but if other establishments can do it, they should be able to do a better job here. No distancing markers for queuing meant people were bunched, not helped by a woefully slow ordering...

I won't be going back here. Not only was the food appalling in the cafe, really plastic food which can be either served out of a wrapper or microwaved. People were then sitting at non cleaned tables. The staff had to be constantly reminded by...

Just to set the record straight, we like the illbemother group which also has The Beacon in its portfolio which we like a lot. Sunday Brunch @ Kingdom is £25 per head ex service, which is going some, but we thought it was worth a...

Really random... I love this place, but for a first visit since reopening just found it really bizarre. Either £25 for a 3 course brunch... otherwise the food in the cafe is totally limited, particularly if you don’t want to eat meat. Sausage bap, bacon...

Staff are friendly , food is good but the service is a bit disorganised and it’s expensive for what you get. They boast 13 acres but we finished the walking ‘trail’ in about 20 minutes at average pace.

I took my son here for a yoga class (Lions) and it was a really well run session in beautiful surroundings. We went for a drink and cake afterwards, which was part of the 'eat out' scheme, so saved quite a bit on the bill....

Set in beautiful woodland where you can walk, cycle or take a yoga class, Kingdom has terrific views. The service is friendly and efficient. The food tasty and inclusive. Plenty of omnivorous, vegan and veggie options.

What a great place this is! We called in for lunch this week and enjoyed it so much we are going back for breakfast in a couple of days. Stunning setting looking over the valley, nice eco-build with lots of light through big windows and...
