Newchurch House in Shepway

We have relatives in Hythe and St Mary's Bay and visited Newchurch House on and off for years, it's strange that I've not thought of writing a review before but on this occasion our intended party of 4 was suddenly reduced to half due to illness. Rather than let them down and cancel the table with only a couple of hours notice we invited our neighbours to make the 45 minute trip with us and surprise Michelle and Daisy (waitress of 8 years) with different guests. We chose 4 different drinks, 4 different starters, 4 different mains oh and 3 different desserts. As always we were made to feel welcome and served in a lightly jovial but totally efficient manner with freshly cooked nice meals and all parts were declared delicious during the return journey. I see some comments about dated, yes I suppose it is but I'd prefer to call it comforting, one of those places you discover and ask yourself why it's taken so long. Our neighbours have vowed to return sometime soon and we certainly will.

Been driving past this restaurant for years and last night finally had a meal there. Wow, the food was amazing and ridiculously cheap. We are returning New Year's Eve, for goodness knows how many courses, including steak with lobster for just £37. This place has got to be the Marsh's best kept secret

Money is tight for me and my partner when I saw this restaurant offers a 2 course lunch on a Friday for £10 and happened to have the week off I booked. I had already explored the menu on their website I was shocked at the choices you can have for such good value! My boyfriend opted for prawn cocktail and a beef bourgignon and Stilton pie with roast potatoes and veg while I had a spicy chicken on a homemade flat bread with mint yoghurt starter then a beautiful homemade lamb hot pot! We both had a beer but a great range of beers wines and spirits are available! Everything was delicious and mostly homemade great service! We will be back

Finally got round to visiting after many years and wasn’t disappointed. Good portions of lovely freshly cooked food. Already booked two more visits!

Great food, hidden gem for a wonderful meal either solo, as a couple, with family and friends. Child and wheelchair friendly. Michelle Mark and Anne offer delicious well priced food to take away or eat in. You can also hire the whole venue for celebrations. Intimate country venue with views.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and host. Food fantastic. Being pescatarian I usually have a limited choice but there was a good number of dishes to suit and chef happy to adapt.

Good to be back for the first time since the imposed lockdown. Food and service as good as ever. Huge menu choice and great value. And good to see it so popular on a Friday evening.

We pre ordered from the menu for a family meal. TBH I’m being generous giving a poor rating. Bland taste and very little fish in the fish pie, vegetarian burger was most definitely from a packet. Desserts not worth the calories. Not even that cheap. I would not recommend.

I collected our pre ordered takeaway Christmas lunch for 2 today. Prawn cocktail, a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, Christmas pud, home made mince pies and crackers. The food, as always was beautifully cooked, piping hot and plentiful. We had a no stress Christmas Lunch. Mark, Michelle and Anne always provide really tasty meals at amazing prices in both the restaurant and takeaway.

We have now had three great meals with Newchurch House during lockdown. We have ordered for the whole family and every time the food has all been there, it has been warm by the time we got it home and it has al tasted delicious. Everything was perfectly cooked from the pies to the vegetables. The service was quick and friendly as so well priced. We will be using Newchurch House again!

For obvious reasons the restaurant is closed at present. However, a takeaway menu is offered and tonight we tried it. The food was carefully packaged and put into my insulated bag for me. 2 absolutely amazing need meals at a very reasonable price. We will visit again soon.

Visited today for Sunday lunch with my wife. We were made extremely welcome on arrival. Although I had booked a table we could have been sitting anywhere within the restaurant. We had a super table within a bay window with excellent views of outside area. My wife and I opted for the Sunday lunch menu which was very reasonably priced with a selection of 4 meats plus a specials board. I had a starter of garlic mushrooms followed by roast lamb. My wife had melon followed by chicken. My garlic mushrooms had to be one of the best I have had for ages. The lamb was one of those meals you don’t want to end. My wife’s choice was equally as good. We both shared a desert which rounded off a throughly enjoyable Sunday lunch. Will we be returning. Of course we will. All I can say is that if you are ever in the area this restaurant is a must visit and I am confident you will not be disappointed.

Visited with friends for our annual Christmas lunch.although my wife and I have been to the restaurant before. It was a few years ago. We were made extremely welcome on arrival. The service and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Although we had the set Christmas menu there were various options to suit all tastes. The food when served was excellent and well prepared and presented. In fact it was a great dining experience. As such we will definitely be returning in the. New Year.

Went here for our annual adra Xmas dinner and the choices were very tempting and all the food was delicious and served in a timely manner so highly recommend

Met friends here who recommended the restaurant for Sunday lunch. Wasn’t disappointed. Very nice food, reasonably priced & pleasant staff Would recommend

An unusual find Staff lovely, food good and good value too. Nothing fancy but just a well done 3 course Sunday lunch for £13.25 Low key and obviously popular with the locals/regulars! Thanks

We are lucky enough to live in Newchurch , where this restaurant is .... Michelle the owner/front of house is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The atmosphere is relaxed and is perfect to go to with friends for a catch up, as we did. Menu has something for everyone.... and we are aware it changes from time to time. As expected on Wednesday all four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our friends commented on how tasty their own choice was.

We agree with previous reviews unfortunately you are greeted with the small of cigarette smoke which is so unusual in 2019 and the entire experience is out of the 1970s including the background music. A shame as it sounds as if lunchtime is better and perhaps afternoon tea but we expect a better experience and not pub grub from an evening meal in a restaurant.

My first visit to Newchurch house in Romney Marsh but definitely not my last. We went here for Easter Sunday lunch on my girlfriends recommendation as she’d been here a few times with her family. I was not disappointed, a warm welcome on our arrival, as we where shown to our table we were told of the days specials and viewed the menu which I found hard to choose from as everything looked so amazing. Real home cooked meals with good sized portions and delicious desserts from this family run restaurant. Prices were very responsible too. It got very busy as we were there so I’d advise booking your table in advance. It was a gloriously sunny day as we tucked into our lunch in a very comfortable atmosphere, looking out across the fields watching the lambs playing. There is parking behind the restaurant.

Once again we left it too long before a return visit to Newchurch House. The restaurant was quiet (only to be expected on an awful Winter's evening) but a warm welcome and food that was clearly cooked freshly to order made it a very enjoyable occasion. The portions were large and accompanied by a dish containing six (yes, six!) different fresh vegetables. Along with sensibly priced wine and a very comprehensive choice of deserts (that only one of our party managed to devour) it all added up to a very good evening.

Several weeks ago I was looking for somewhere to take my wife for both Valentines day and her birthday and stumble across this restaurant by accident! As it is usually difficult to to get a booking I rang them. Fortunatelly I was able to get a table and wow are we glad we could.

You are always greeted with a warm welcome from Michelle and the food cooked by Mark and Anne is always excellent. We have tried everything from lunches to evening meals and had a fantastic afternoon tea one day for a change. Would always recommend booking a table.

We found this gem via my In-Laws and I must say the food is amazing quality, freshly prepared and a great price. We have been numerous times this year for Sunday lunch and have always come away having had a great meal. You are made to feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door till you leave. Would recommend booking to avaoid disappointment.

Always a good experience what ever time of year, menu covers a range to suit all.very friendly owners

We found this when we were staying near by, what a find to start we thought we may have made a mistake, how wrong we were, the restaurant was busy, but they found us a table, you could tell that most of the diners were regulars which is always a good sign and very one seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Evening meal starter scolops with cheese sauce. Brasingsteak gravy mash veggies. Eaton mess pud. Absolutely superb very warm welcome.will be coming again

It's a long time since we had been to Newchurch House - probably around 20 years and the management had obviously changed in that time. But nothing else has really changed. On a Friday evening it was surprisingly quiet - but we enjoyed; excellent, friendly service; Fine, tasty food and very reasonably priced good quality wine. Without doubt, we will not leave it another 20 years before returning!

Worth a visit but suggest phoning to book first. Great food, lovely management, quite quirky, most people that go there become regulars of sorts.

Our first visit to Newchurch House proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We were greeted by a friendly, attentive host who made us feel most welcome. The restaurant is cosy with a homely atmosphere and considering we arrived during a thunderstorm we were pleased to experience such a warm welcome. There is a spacious car park behind the restaurant. There was a varied menu and the food, which was served promptly, was excellent and good value to boot. The delicious sorbet served before the main course was unexpected and a nice touch. We will definitely be returning. Brilliant.

Met by the hostess (can't remember her name, unfortunately), made very welcome. The food was A1, as was the service. Plenty of parking. Excellent value. Could not find fault and will return again at some stage. Would recommend booking during the summer.

What a lovely place to enjoy a first class meal. Small and quaint with a fabulous view over sheep fields. Excellent car park at rear and easy access.

I was meeting an old friend here for dinner and with some nerves o agreed on this eatery.

We visited for a Sunday meal as a good friend of ours recommended this venue. We booked in advance and was very impressed at how quaint, befitting to the countryside with ample parking in a well kept car park was not to forget the lovely warm welcome and attentive service throughout. The meal was superb and we will all certainly be returning. This restaurant comes highly recommended.

I booked for the mothers day menu, and was so glad I did ! We had a lovely warm welcome and presented with a great 3 course menu with lots of choices! The food portions were great, the food quality was lovely and the bill was amazing low ! Well worth a trip into Newchurch on Romney Marsh to find this little gem. I booked for the fathers day menu too ! (lets hope the nice lady remembers!!)

The portion sizes and quality for the money are amazing value, and the staff are really lovely.

Lovely service from start to finish including how easy it was to book the table. We ate off the Sunday menu and was so happy with our food. We all had a starter and a main and all thoroughly enjoyed our food. A couple of us even squeezed in a pudding which we was spoilt for choice. Really is a must visit. Lovely and cosy and perfect for small groups and couples.

Great food and good service. We went last week for dinner with family. The restaurant was busy but the food was perfect and the service was great. Nice friendly welcome, warm and comfortable. The menu is available to view on line, well worth a visit. We will go back.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Three courses for just £13. They rang me straight back with a suitable time when I left a message about booking. Food was fresh, hot and just perfect. Always great when the food as good as the company. Thoroughly recommend it for a civilised traditional lunch.

The most amazing journey from Canterbury to the restaurant through the narrow roads on Romney Marsh. A converted house ,bright and airy.Agood varied Sunday lunch menu. Three course lunch £13.95. That's why it should remain a secret.

We booked late for Fathers Day lunch, but Michelle was able to fit us in. We all enjoyed a delicious home cooked sunday lunch. The party of 5 were all thoroughly impressed with the service and the quality of food.

Este restaurante familiar ofrece una calidad excelente, gran relación calidad-precio y la comida es fabulosa. Aunque más que nada, me quedé impresionado por la atención amable y personal del personal. Yo lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Primera visita a casa con la familia para Newchurch Cena domingo.

Vivido en la Marisma en muchos años y no me puedo creer que no he visitado antes. Menú fantástico y variado. Buenas opciones para vegetarianos. Los aperitivos eran deliciosos, mi carne asociados era precioso y mi pastora tarta estaba lleno de sabor, verduras estaban bien...

Comida de calidad media y superficial. Lo mejor, el vino local. Aunque había sido decorado, que obviamente se olvidó de polvo los muchos centenares de adornos. Gente que este lugar, obviamente no salen mucho.

First visit to this restaurant, although have tried previously to book, but had always chosen an evening when they were closed.Very enjoyable food cooked by someone who obviously knows what they are doing. Vegetables were perfect & everything beautifully presented. Couldn't fault my chicken stuffed with mushroom main course.Where the restaurant lets its self down is on front of house. When the telephone reservation for four was made the lady (owner?) taking the call, was informed that one of the group regrettably has an allergy to gluten & dairy; her response didn't leave the caller feeling confident. On arriving the same lady wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu & had to keep popping back to the kitchen to check the contents of the dishes!! A more professional approach is needed.Allergies to gluten & dairy sadly are not a lifestyle choice. Anything containing either can make the person very ill.It's a shame, because had we just walked in or the restaurant been busy, she could of possibly been half excused but having taken the trouble to highlight the dietary requirements on booking, I do feel that her attitude could have been better. At worst it came across as very unprofessional.

First time visit to this venue on Romney Marsh, and we will be returning soon, excellent home cooked food,delightful surroundings and very good service. Very reasonable prices too

This was the first time I've been here having driven / ridden past it many times as it is tucked out of the way a little. It's not a huge restaurant (there is seating outside for the warmer weather), traditional country design with a lovely cosy layout and nice views over the Marsh which I think is part of it's charm.We went for my Mum's birthday meal yesterday and the food was excellent - good sized portions and really well presented which does make a difference. The lunch menu has a very good range to satisfy most tastes I think (same as on the website) and how can you argue with £14.95 for a three course meal? The service was really friendly and we were made to feel so welcome indeed.Now I've found this little place it will be a definite one to revisit - sooner rather than later. Thank you! :-)

Every time we eat at this restaurant we wonder why we don't go more often. The service is friendly and personal, the menu has a good range of well cooked traditional dishes and the prices are reasonable. It's a hidden gem and deserves more recognition. Last night all the dishes we selected were excellent so it's hard to pick out a single thing to recommend but my husband was particularly pleased with his soup, steak and trifle.

Sunday lunch with the wife on her birthday.great service very friendly and polite.and the food magnificent is the only word to describe it.fabulous afternoon.booking is advisable

Have visited this lovely restaurant often over the last few months- every time a winner- Michelle is always lovely and remembers everybody and what they drink! The menu is varied and every time we have been delighted- delicious freshly prepared food with generous portions - wonderful views over the marsh and fantastic value. Have visited as a couple and with friends and family and every time is a winner!!!!

Fab lunch for family celebration, 12 in totalFood delicious and hot, service greatMy parents love this place and I can see why, hidden gem

We love this place. the food is excellent and Michelle is very friendly. You are spoilt for choice with the menu and we have not had a bad meal yet and we go quite a lot. Lovely view of a field with various animals in it.

Midweek it wasn't busy but food was good and the staff very pleasant I had a starter and the roast of the day

Our party of eight enjoyed a very good meal at this fine restaurant on Romney marsh.Every aspect of the visit was excellent from the service and choice of drinks to the high quality of the food which was quickly served to everyones complete satisfaction.The restaurant was very busy at the time which speaks volumes for their organisation.We will return again very soon. Recommended.

We were recommend this place from a friend and had been before so we decided to go back with our sister and brother-in-law. The menu is amazing. They do a lunchtime menu that is a set price and very reasonable and they also do a friday menu and a evening menu and also a Sunday menu. The food is out of this world. Definitely leave there feeling full and satisfied. There is a lady there who serves and takes the orders who is very lovely and polite. She has an amazing memory, she remembered where we sat before and that was 4 months ago. We arrived half hour early so we waited in the car park area where there was a table, she came out and said to us you must be our 8 o clock reservation would you like me to bring you a drink whilst you wait. I thought that was really lovely.

Hadn't been here for a while and I wonder why. We visited for Sunday lunch and there were seven of us. They gave us a good table, drinks arrived promptly and the food was lovely. The bill was a very pleasant surprise and we will return.

Excellent food and ambience. Visited for Sunday lunch and the food was excellent. Very traditional with friendly welcoming staff. Lots of repeat customers and regulars which speaks for itself.

Our party of six enjoyed a very good lunch at this hidden gem on Romney marsh. The lunchtime menu had something to suit everyones taste plus you could also choose from the larger "a la carte" menu if so desired.Our food arrived quickly and could not be faulted in any way. The service was attentive with just the right amount of interaction.All in all a great dining experience which we will certainly repeat in the near future.

Went with family with our ages ranging from 28-76.We all throughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch, most of us opted for a roast after our lovely starters.Good enough selection of food and drinks for us all.Nice atmosphere.Friendly staff.I would recommend anyone in the area to check out this place and worth travelling for.Good prices too for what you get.We sat by the bar area and window looking out at the sheep seeing horse riders and dog walkers go by.

A jewel in Romney Marsh's crown. Michelle is always an excellent host, and her husband produces consistently good food that is superb value for money. Well worth making a trip for Sunday lunch, or to experience the amazingly-priced lunches on Fridays.

First visit, on the recommendation of my friend, well what can I say best advice I've taken for a long time, service was excellent, pleasant without being subservient, food to die for, well cooked, well presented, hot, on time.In fact we are going back for a new years do, the scollops sound lovely.

Perfectly cooked food Good sized portions Very tender meat al dente vegetables Will certainly come again

Yet again the Newchurch House has served a lovely sunday roast. A welcome smile always precedes a wonderful lunch.

One not to miss traditional home made food to a very high standard,super deals throughout the week not to be missed......ample car parking....from your starter to your main you won't be disappointed....we've visited on many occasions and always had a friendly warm welcome...also cream teas are a must....

Warmly greeted on arrival. Although not shown to our table it was shown to us and as its not a huge place this wasn't a problem. We were quickly asked what we would like to drink and these didn't take long to arrive. We were also given menus. Having been given enough time to choose our orders were taken. Starters arrived and they were very well presented. Mains arrived and were very good portions and nicely presented. We decided we would like a dessert and were shown desserts on a chalk board and not rushed to choose. Desserts were also nicely presented.There was a steady flow of customers and only one lady serving but there were no long waits, we were not rushed at all and the food was delicious. This was our first visit but will not be our last. I highly recommend this restaurant but bear in mind it isn't open every day. All information can be found on their web site including menus.

Just got back from a marvelous lunch, I had Thai Crab Cakes and Game pie, my wife had a mushroom starter and roast pork. Quantity and quality could not be faulted, neither of us could finish the mains. How anyone can call anything bland I do not understand. We went looking for somewhere to gather the family for our Golden Wedding, we shall look no further. It only missed full five star because some of the venison in the game pie could have been cooked a little longer before added to the rabbit and pheasant. A minor crit. Go and see for yourself and do't listen to the negatioves.

We came here recently with friends after the restaurant having rave reviews from friends and also being deeply impressed by the reviews on this site. On that basis our collective experience could be a one off and you may come to a different conclusion. We ordered a starter and a main course from an extremely wide menu and in all truth the results were satisfactory or pleasing for all the party. The disappointment was with the main course. We all had something different and without exception felt that the food was bland low quality ingredients. None of us felt that it was worth the money even though being a Friday it was offered at a lower cost. The service was prompt and efficient and the wine pleasant. However now deterred we won't be going back but I will watch the site with interest to see whether anyone else is also unhappy in their experience here.

This is certainly the best cooked food and selection around.Made so welcome. All occasions catered for.We had had some great times.See you again soon Ann

We often visit for Sunday lunch both for 2 or with our parents who love the restaurant. Michelle is a superb host and is very attentive, making sure every thing is to your satisfaction . We have never had a bad meal here and would recommend it for a cosy meal for 2 or a family lunch. The value of a Sunday lunch is exceptional, and the evening meals are made to measure. All round a lovly restful place to eat. Rainsley's

Lovely family run feel, great food and cosy quiet atmosphere. Been here quite a few times with family and never been disappointed with the food, definitely worth a visit.

Booked table for Sunday lunch and got delayed because of road closure due to an accident. Telephoned to say we would be late and told no problem. We finally collected our friend an hour and a half late, who lives near by and when we entered the restaurant we were warmly welcomed. There was an excellent menu choice and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely return in the future. Excellent service and not intrusive and great value for money. I chose the restaurant based on the reviews and we weren't disappointed. Would highly recommend.

A most enjoyable meal in a warm friendly environment. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone for any event, special occasion or just to go for a meal out The welcome is warm and there is a good choice of meals on the menu to suit all tastes.

Delicious food friendly staff beautiful setting we go whenever we can .we have been as a couple and also all the family and it has always been enjoyable Michelle is a brilliant hostess.would highly recommend to anyone

We had heard good reports about this place. Well eventually we booked and had a pleasant surprise. Traditional Sunday Roast with a cod option. Excellent starters followed by an excellent roast, I had the cod option which was scrumptious. The final bill proved to be excellent value. A definite return will be on the cards.

this place is lovely , nice and friendly , and food out of this world , I go there when ever I can 10 out of 10 recommend

We visited on Thursday 3rd July on our wedding anniversary and was greeted by the owner Michelle. She was very welcoming and despite the fact that we were the only diners our meal was excellent and well worth the money. Would not hesitate recommending to anyone.

Came here with friends one lunch time. My friends love the place and I can understand why. It's in a small village - a very relaxed and tranquil setting. The restaurant is very homely and comfortable and the hostess very welcoming and friendly. The food - especially at lunchtime - is great value for money. The starters were almost as big as the main course, which in itself was huge. Needless to say there was no room for dessert! The 'homely' feel is enhanced by the fact that there is home made jams & chutney's for sale. A nice touch.My one criticism is that there are artificial flowers on the tables and artificial vines around the wooden beams. It is a little 'tacky' and it wouldn't cost the earth to put a couple of real flowers in a small vase on each table. It's often the little things that make the difference. But this should not distract from the fact that Newchurch House offers great value and excellent service.

Passed Newchurch House when we took a wrong turn then looked it up on here and said i would like to visit. I was not disappointed when we visited for my birthday. The hostess was attentive friendly and fun but not to intrusive. The food was absolutely wonderful the best I have had in ages. Portion size large go hungry you won't be hungry when you leave. Well worth the money will visit again and would definitely recommend

Helping my aunt celebrate her 80th birthday very recently was made even more pleasurable with the fantastic service and food provided by Michelle and the rest of the staff. Food is superb, hot, well cooked and plentiful. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and didn't mind travelling all the way from Wales to enjoy the pleasures at Newchurch House. It is well worth it. Can't wait to visit again.

This is a great value, great food and great atmosphere restaurant. Michelle always makes everyone feel welcome. She remembers what everyone drinks adding that extra touch. Marks food is always excellent, well cooked and presented. We always go for there for Christmas lunch. Sunday lunches are brilliant and the evening menus are varied and delicious. A hidden treasure on Romney Marsh.

We go here new years eve and during the year. Staff friendly and food excellent. Overall nice experience.

Having friends who can be critical, both wives being experienced cooks, I booked for our Wedding Anniversary meal here, having done a 'trial run' on Valentines Day. An extremely pleasant evening, food, service, atmosphere all faultless. When I received the bill for the six of us I asked if the drinks had been included - they had - they just don't rip you off like other restaurants! The owners resist the temptation to 'cram them in' and limit numbers in the evening to ensure they can give an excellent service and they certainly do that.I disagree totally with Kevin H as one friend had steak and I and another had Rump of Lamb- -good size and delicious. Two friends shared a starter and were still too full for dessert and I had to help my wife finish her cheeseboard! I have averaged the cost out assuming all had a full meal of three courses less drinks - £20.95 - that is value for money in anybody's book and all of us look forward to returning.

Once again a quality service for sensible price with excellent customer service and done with a smile in a rural setting good car parking and all home cooked what more could you want

The decor is like being transported back to 1975 a kind of cross between a nondescript pub and a chinese takeaway. The food is in keeping with the period feel. I had a steak. The tiny thing came on a large plate accompanied by three onion rings one mushroom and half a tomato. We had asked for chips and a salad but were told that it came with saute and vegetables and the soggy bowl of vegetables and some saute potatoes duly arrived. We didn't bother staying for desert. The food and decor may have been 1970's but the prices at £17 for my dismal steak are very 2013.

You might want your sat-nav to track down this little gem nestling on the Romney Marsh. It's a cosy, welcoming delight, with a well-balanced menu making choosing what to have the most difficult part of the experience. Home-made soup and home-made pate were among the starters and the tempting mains included game pie and a fine roast. Great value and hard to find anything not to like.

After cycling on the Romney Marsh we stopped here for a quick bite and ended up being tempted by a 5 course lunch - excellent food and great value too - we still made it home though it did not do the kip fit stance much good, but it was woorth it.

Good all round restaurant, food excellent home cooked limited menu but really good !!! staff are very helpful and enjoy the work.Car parking in the middle of Romney Marsh beer good what more can you ask for

We first found Newchurch House Restaurant about three years ago when using a online search engine to find restaurants in the area. After our first meal there, we were hooked! So much so, that Newchurch House Restaurant is the ONLY restaurant we go to! When you have had the best, why look for something else which will not live up to your expectations!Every dish we have had has been well cooked, well presented and great value for money. The service is also second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for Michelle.We have also had Christmas Day dinner there which was amazing and we're looking forward to going again this Christmas.I suggest you try Newchurch House Restaurant when you are next looking for somewhere to go to eat. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed and it is very probably that you, like us, will become frequent customers!

This restaurant offers a unique blend of atmosphere, hospitality and culinary excellence. What is most refreshing about the experience is that you do not feel like you are being sold a lifestyle choice or that you need to fit into some kind of clique, everyone is made to feel welcome and relaxed. Newchurch House provides a varied and comprehensive range of dishes, expertly presented in a comfortable and relaxed setting. The quality of the food speaks for itself and having visited this restaurant many times I can honestly say I have never been left disappointed.

I booked this restaurant on spec having found their website from a random search for restaurants in the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch area. We went for Saturday lunch to celebrate my wife's Birthday. Four adults and two children aged 5 and 18 months. We were not disappointed. It was fantastic. We could not have been made more welcome. The food was truly outstanding, with good portions, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The setting is tranquil. We will definitely be making a point of visiting the Newchurch House on a regular basis. Highly recommended. I would also recommend their homemade jams, marmalade and chutney. Superb!

We have been to this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. It is always difficult to choose what to have - as you want to sample each and everyone of them - The New Romney Lamb Rump is excellent and I have had that several times, all the other dishes are exceptional - if you are lucky enough to get a table that overlooks the marsh, then, this is fantastic - Michelle and Mark do an excellent job running what is the best restaurant in the Marsh - its personal, its quaint, its unique. For anyone who wants really really good home produced, locally sourced food and good prices, then I would recommend this to you. The cheeseboard can feed a small army !! We have also been to lunch where you can get 2 /3 courses for about £11!. We took our friends there last night and they are now sold - one of the Marshes culinary treasures. Chris

Great food, good portions, Michelle is fun. Recommended.
