We came away to Dover for a weekend of birthday treats - and the Marco Pierre White restaurant within the Best Western Premier Dover Marina hotel did not disappoint. I approached the restaurant at 6:40pm to enquire regarding availability for the same evening, space was ample and I booked for 7:30pm. The server noticed I had a birthday balloon in my hands, and asked if it was for a birthday meal. I agreed that it was, for my partner. On arrival we were seated at a two-seater table by the window with a beautiful moon-lit sea view. The table had been decorated with gold ‘happy birthday’ and star shaped confetti - a lovely unexpected touch. The food was fantastic. We opted for two-courses from the set menu. Starters of Chicken Soup and Shakshuka plus sourdough for the table. Mains being the Cheese and Onion Pig Burger and the Lamb a la Dijonaisse. £19.95 for two courses per person is fantastic value for money, alternatively there is £24.95 for 3-courses however we weren’t enamoured by the set menu dessert choices. We opted to share a Mr Caulson’s Sticky Toffee Pudding from the Main Menu for dessert, as we were quite frankly already stuffed at this point. To our surprise, a candlelit brownie arrived with the team of waiters/waitresses singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to my partner. The plate had ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it too. This was a fantastic surprise, and just like the table decoration, came free of charge. The Sticky Toffee Pudding followed suit - a sweet delight for both of us. Overall the team were great to communicate with, all very friendly and quick to respond to any needs.

Superb service, the staff were smart and extremely attentive. Great Food, everything we had was especially tasty. Very comfortable, lovely room, nice and warm.

Very, very average to say the least. The aesthetics of the places is lovely and has a lot of potential, however, we all felt it was disappointing and very mediocre. We eat out a lot having a Kent food page, and unfortunately this just didn’t meet the standards of other restaurants we’ve been too especially being associated with MPW you’d expect a really lovely meal especially with the high prices. My partner had the rump of lamb, which was cooked well and was pink as it should have been but unfortunately, it was so chewy and was just served on a small bed of peas, pearl onions and gravy, which seems odd given the standard price of the dish. Had we paid full price (£24.95) for it we’d have been extremely disappointed. My friend and I had the chicken kiev which was mediocre. My friend had the burger which was dry. The fries were however lovely. Service was ok, staff seemed friendly. Given we had the 50% off mains promotion & were under a bit of a time constraint, we did not complain, but all agreed we would not return unfortunately.

Our visit was an early dinner on Christmas Eve. The restaurant looks good and is well furnished, over trades on the MPW brand but there you go. The food was nothing better than ok, and at this price range and style of restaurant it should have been way better. If I can cook better then it isn't good enough (and it wasn't). Service was the real low point, after being led to a table in the, cold, conservatory we were promptly abandoned by the waiting staff who were happier chatting to themselves in the warmer part of the restaurant. Our waitress didn't seem to know what was going on on at all, we asked how long the restaurant had been there and she didn't have a clue and got confused with how long she had been there. When I asked for directions to the gents toilets she thought it was hilarious. The knowledge of the menu and wine list was poor at best. I removed the optional service charge because of this. Sadly, this is not the best restaurant in Dover, and that's saying something.

Lovely restaurant and waiting service. The food was great but not quite as good as I'd expect. The pudding was lovely though! Would visit again though.

The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but thats almost all the good points. The servers were friendly enough, and took the time to ask how things were, especially when clearing your plates between courses. The food, it was a shame really and definitely not a meal I would rush back for or recommend. Starter - some jarred peppers and some mozarella. No real taste, quite bland and something my kid could have thrown together - absolutely no technical skill went into preparing this. Main - this was reasonable, the steak melted in the mouth, but nothing I couldn’t get in other known steak houses. Pudding - not as described on the menu. Disappointing when the menu says white stilton and fig chutney, for the chef to serve brie and sandwich pickle!!! Ruined the meal to be served something you hadn’t ordered. If you run out of an ingredient then you tell your customers, you dont serve them something else and hope they dont realise. I would only return if I was booked at DBB in the next door hotel, it wouldn’t be out of choice.

We visited Dover Marine Hotel yesterday 16th December 2023 for a Christmas lunch. We have visited many times with family for coffees at this Hotel, but never for lunch, so we had no expectations. From the moment we arrived we were treated with courtesy and attentiveness . We were taken to our table which was a lovely crescent shaped banquette and seated. We had a wait of half an hour for our meal in which time we were given fresh French bread, plenty of water and our specified wine and drinks. Our orders taken we were able to take in the atmosphere which was tastefully decorated in the English Christmas tradition with lit Xmas trees. Our starters - salmon and peppers and mozzarella were light, finely prepared and the Game Pie was very filling - all were delicious. The mains were all traditional roast Turkey which lay almost regally across our plates with its courtiers of Brussel sprouts, carrots, French beans, pigs in blankets and stuffing. Finishing with a home made brownie, superb ice-cream and a Dickensian plum pudding. Coffee was offered but declined . Our extended family live abroad so we have made it a yearly event to celebrate with them in spirit at various local eateries and restaurants We all agreed that this lunch was the best not only for its excellent cuisine, but most importantly for its wonderful service. All the staff in the restaurant and throughout the Hotel were impeccable in their manner, in particular our two waiters - Paolo was one who served us and nothing was too much trouble. We wish to commend the whole experience.

Our dinner at this restaurant involved two different streams: the food and the experience. The food was simply excellent my wife and I tried different appetizers, mains and desserts. All were great. The experience was a bit different. We were seated by the window which was very nice but the chairs were very uncomfortable. There was a screaming child in the restaurant who nobody seemed to be able to control. There were only two servers so the service was a bit slow. When I went to pay, it seemed to be a challenge to find out if and how I could charge it to my room. Maybe we just hit an off night.

The restaurant is situated within the Best Western Marina Hotel. Plenty of parking on the road. The restaurant is very smartly decorated with tables in the conservatory overlooking the sea front. Staff were very friendly , service a little slow but we were not in a hurry. Plenty of choice , we chose from the set menu of 3 courses . Two of us had steak which was cooked perfectly and well presented . The chips were probably some of the best we have had for some time. The wine was well priced for a prime location. Would recommend despite a group of 14 very loud men who swore quite a lot sitting across from us - not the restaurants fault.

What a perfect lunch. We attended the restaurant today for my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. I had booked ahead of time and when we arrived the table had been decorated for us and looked beautiful. The food was amazing, we ate from the Sunday menu and the roasts were delicious. Every detail was perfect. After we finished our meal the waiter brought over a dessert with Happy Anniversary written on with was a lovely touch. One of the best dining out experiences I have had in a while and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people for special occasions. It was fantastic. Thanks again to Par as usual his service was fantastic.

Sirloin steak I asked to be rare was only in part, i know that is difficult when it varies in thickness, my wife's poached egg as part of her Fishcake dish was almost hard boiled and not enjoyable. Wine bottle was unsealed before being brought to the table, so a training need for front of house staff. The environment was dirty and when we pointed this out, our server said she would let them know, this indicates to me a lack of understanding of team. In the resteraunt business there is no them only us! I expected a good standard of food and was disappointed.

We tried the afternoon tea, which was okay except that the crust had not been removed from all of the sandwiches and one sandwich had no beef except for a very tiny piece, 80 percent of which was just bread. Even the butter did not reach the attached crust. The service was fine. The roasted tomato soup was fine, but nothing special. The Steak and the Redefine meals were okay but again, nothing to indicate that this was fine dining. I would not recommend the redefine meat, it maybe veggie, but it looked and tasted like meat, which is okay if you eat meat, but not for veggies. Ice Cream was excellent. The service was appalling. The server was stood, two tables down from our table, leaning against the wall, talking and laughing loudly to a couple throughout the duration of our main meal. Having eaten our main meal, we were waiting for our plates to be removed and order desert and waited and waited. The server had not budged from the wall. My wife attempted to attract her attention, without success. I turned and tried, and my only option, other than to get up and walk to her was to talk out loud and louder until I had to shout to attract her attention.

Having been to this restaurant at the end of September we were really looking forward to a lovely evening meal. What has happened? On arrival, we were asked if a reservation had been made and my husband gave his name. The (manager?) waved us to an area without pointing/taking us to a table. We eventually chose on in the Orangerie overlooking the marina. The restaurant was only at about 25 - 30% capacity so it was quiet. What was clear was the young and inexperienced staff on duty who had very little direction and definitely needed training. One water had food down his trousers. We used the vegan and main menu to order from. The starters arrived and my beetroot salad nearly landed in my lap. My husband was very happy with his salmon starter. As soon as the starters were removed the main meal arrived. The side dishes had not been ordered with the kitchen so we canceled those as they would have arrived after we had eaten. My pasta dish was dry. It had clearly been prepared and finished off in the microwave. There was no offer of parmesan. We asked for breathing space between the main and deciding on a dessert or we would have been in and out of the restaurant in less than 1 hour! Not an 'experience' but get you out of the door! I chose sticky toffee pudding and only ate a few mouthfuls as it had been put in a microwave and was stuck/burnt to the plate. This was a very different experience compared to September and very disappointing. Has Mr. White visited? Does he know the quality of food being served in his name? To say this meal cost about £135 was an affront. I think I could do a better meal using M & S prepared meals. So sad.My suggestion: quality ingredients, quality chef and trained staff to deliver a meal that deserves a price tag of £135.

Attended one of the first whiskey tasting event. Had an amazing time. The food paired perfectly with the whiskey selection and learned a great deal about whisky form the connoisseur. Definitely appreciated the gent taking his time to travel all the way from Birmingham. Great night overall.

A great evening out and value for money. The gentleman explaining the whiskey was knowledgeable and kept the mood light. The food was delicious and paired well with the whiskey. The staff were welcoming and efficient. The event was extremely well organised. Thank you Matthew and team.

We went here for my birthday in August. I have been wanting to write a review for quite a while but was distracted. Excellent service, lovely food and nice drinks. Would definitely recommend. I was more disappointed with booking via The Fork! When I rang the restaurant, they hadn't received our booking. Thankfully, there was space available.

Had butternut squash soup and Shepherds pie.. And the 2 dishes were very disappointing.. Very bland no flavour I was there Friday and Saturday last weekend of sep. If that was a chef in the kitchen no way did he taste as he cooked.... Next time I'd go chippy round the corner. Breakfast on the other hand was great. Staff in dinning room lovely

Such a lovely evening with my husband and son on Saturday night. We eat at MPW resturants a couple of times a year and this certainly met my high expectations. The food & drinks menu were both extensive but quality certainly wasn’t comprimised. My highlights were the scallops and the customer service - perfection! My 6yr old son felt really involved in the experience which was fab. My only 2 issues were:1) I wasn’t asked how I like burger cooked (however, if i asked the waiter i’m sure he’d have corrected this)2) In the main hotel area, customers weren’t made to wear a mask. One man held a mask to his face whilst talking to the staff then took it off to walk to the bathroom without being questionned. Although this isn’t the resturants fault, it did impact my experience. Would I return? Absolutely!

We have previously visited Marco Pierre White's restaurant in Birmingham and had the best chateaubriand ever! Plus the food, drinks and service were awesome! Yesterday we had the afternoon tea for my birthday. Delicious food, well presented, lovely staff, great views!It takes a real skill to make these cakes, the scones were delicious, so were the finger sandwiches, tasty, fresh and soft bread. There's nothing to fault here at all! We have really appreciated the staff working in the current situation, and they were lovely. We will definitely be back. Looking forward to our next meal here, hopefully a beautiful steak, yum!

I decided to have a lunch here during my business trip to Dover. Ordered a burger meal called "The John Lennon", the burger was perfectly cooked, well presented and the meal tasted amazing!This was a summer sunny day and the view through the restaurant window was breathtaking. Brilliant location and quality food!

When we entered the hotel, staff were extremely helpful and pointed us in the right direction. Upon entering the restaurant staff were friendly and promptly showed us to our table which was by the large window overlooking the sea. Our waitress was very attentive (Carla), provided us with a detailed menu, whilst expaining that we could change items on the afternoon tea menu to suit any diet etc. A very friendly gentleman called 'Pablo' (apologies if we misheard his name) checked everything was ok and was wlaking through greeting people. The choice and standard of food on the afternoon tea menu was superb. Plenty for 2 people, along with the choice of tea. We ordered some prosecco as an extra treat. We had to take some home boxed up as there was ample left over. The food being served for lunch also looked very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will recommend to family, friends and colleagues. We will also bring the whole family along for some food very soon. Thank you to all the staff more so Carla our waitress who was super friendly and couldnt do enough for us.

To celebrate 15 years of friendship, me and my friend decided to have a meal out here. The food came out super quick and was cooked just right. It tasted amazing and was very filling. Matt was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble for him! Amazing evening.

To honour this date, we chose to eat here again. As the first time we loved it, the second time made us love it even more, from the atmosphere to the food to the service.. Matt was accommodating and made the evening very pleasant. Definitely would recommend.

Had an anniversary meal, served by Carla who was very efficient and friendly. Nothing was was too much trouble. Had an unexpected complementary glass of fizz and she even arranged for apple crumble and custard which wasn't on the menu. Thank you so much for a lovely evening which felt so special. We will definitely eat here again. Xx

Went there for my daughters 22nd birthday and to take advantage of the £10 pp off deal.The squid turned up with no garnish just a slice of lemon and a dollop of tartar ace.The same goes for the fillet steak with pepper sce no garnish just chips and 3 cherry tomatoes.The pepper sauce which cost 3.50 extra we measured out and had 2 teaspoons of it.And to top it off when the bill came we were over charged by £28.00 When we queried it there was no apology they just handed us a new billI'll never go back there again.And I'm sure if Mr White goes there (which he never has they just use his name) he would be mortified.

We often go for an afternoon tea at Dover Marina Hotel after visiting Dover seafront and decided to go there for lunch. We were presented with a three course menu for £20.00. The menu options were very good and for the main course I opted for the steak and chips with all the trimmings. The presentation, quality and taste was excellent. We were served by Carla who was helpful and attentive. We would certainly go again. AND the view from the restaurant is great.

This was by far the best meal I have ever had in my life! , the steak was absolute perfection and the chips had a perfect fluff and crunch. Max and Carla provided a perfect service that I doubt will ever be topped , genuinely the best meal I’ve ever had.

We have just been and eaten in the eat out deal. We had a 3 course meal for £10! Yes any extras had to be paid for but what a fantastic deal. The food was amazing and the waitress, Carla, was very friendly and professional. We thought the staff coped fantastically with having to wear masks the whole time. We felt covid safe the whole time. Well done, we will be back!

Absolutely terrible. A woman cashier overcharged and got our order wrong. They were then moaning that they had to go back and correct themselves because they couldn’t understand our English language.
