We are three guys "retired" and have formed the £20 club - where we each buy a round of drinks within that price range - this is one bar that is on our go to venues with great service and atmosphere

I liked! Good service! Cold beer! Nice food! I'm staying at the hotel next door, but the beer was out of ice. We changed restaurants. I don't like draft beer without ice. Congratulations to whoever decorated this place! I loved the wallpapers.

Being part of a hotel this venue meets high standards of cleanliness, accessibility etc. It has a good restaurant and bar food often with "deals". It is convenienlty situated on the Leas so is handy for walking around Folkestone.

Scotch egg starter was delightful, main course of rump steak cooked to my liking and for dessert I had apple crumble this was OK but not as good as the first 2 courses. Atmosphere was great for dining with friends. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Overall a nice meal.

Part of having a pleasant time in a hotel bar are the nibbles which are offered when one has cocktails. This hotel does not offer such. When asked the waiter said he had checked other bars in Folkestone and none offered nibbles with cocktails (or equivalent). And thereby tells you the difference between struggling to survive as a bar and hotel as this place seems to be, or owning a successful bar that people want to visit any time. It's not just the nibbles, it's the prevailing attitude.

I thought as a restaurant owner and chef of some respect over the years,I enjoy my chicken pie. Some had lamb that was not tender enough and was left. Other food was lacking in reel flavour expected for the amount of money paid? The survice was good and repor and friendly attitude by staff was good. It would have been nice to be given more green and properly cooked veg with the main item's 😋 thank you for your good intentions and I look forward to coming again..thank you PJ.

Cocktails are good but a little bit expensive - as expected for cocktails. The staff are good and friendly and we have been a few times now. Food is from the attached Marco Pierre White so is good but there can be a bit of a wait time involved if there are unexpected parties.

Visited the glorious Folkestone seafront, and stopped at this good looking bar/restaurant/hotel for lunch on a busy Saturday. Didn’t have a booking and was told restaurant is fully booked. Fair enough. However, Bar area was serving snacks and fish & chips. Ordered the later at 1:30pm. After chasing five waiter/manager, food was served one hour later. The service is poor and the staff show no interest in customer service and never ever smile... very disappointing.

No problem with cocktails but problem with service. I asked for gin and tonic and i wanted to see the menu. I have learnt to check prices before ordering. Its my habit and very useful one. Some asian woman told me all gin is on the display. I asked for menu again, then she gave me a look and started to tell in bad manner to other member of staff look she needs a menu for gin and tonic. Its not only my perception as my partner has noticed her look as well. Like i came to her home uninvited. I am a very easy to please customer but its really got on my nerves. I am wasting my time in this review only for sake of the management to be aware about how their customers are treated for their money

Visited Saturday evening for a drink and some snacks. Ordered sandwiches at 8:30 as food finished at 9, had to continuously chase and finally got two sandwiches at 10 o’clock in the evening which looked like they had just been chucked together. Order drinks and after 45 min wait gave up. Manager told us food has been refunded but this never happened and I have still been charged. Very poor customer service and I won’t be back.

Very poor afternoon tea. Very much a tired Clifton hotel item and certainly not the Marco Pierre White one that I paid for and expected. Old crumbly dry scones, only strawberry jam and a miniscule ramekin of cream, sandwiches straight from the fridge and pretty poor cakes, nothing was special. It turned out to be an embarrassment for me as it appeared that I had ordered and paid for a cheap afternoon tea. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

We were staying at the Hotel and were just having a drink in the bar. The tables were spaced out to allow social distancing which I suspect meant that the look and atmosphere were not what they intended. Of course this also meant that everyone had to wait to be seated, and have table service. This in my opinion (as a customer service trainer) is where the service fell down a little. I appreciate that the staff are now busier serving to table and they were also having to service the requirements of the restaurant. But when someone is waiting to be seated, they should be acknowledged and told something like "sorry to keep you, someone will be with you shortly" Instead they tended to focus on whatever task they were engaged in and were clearly avoiding making eye contact. This was repeated when customers were sat at tables waiting to be served. At one point there seemed to be 3 bar staff working on one restaurant order. Having said all that, once you got their attention the were polite and friendly. The bar was very well stocked and as well as all the usual drinks they were able to provide a wide variety of cocktails. As this bar is pitching itself at the higher end, it does need to improve its customer service a little.

Choices include burger, pizza and pasta but after being turned away from the Steakhouse which closed its kitchen early, I had the rump steak to compensate and paid £18.50 with a handful of sweet potato chips, salad leaves and sautéed button mushrooms. The steak was nicely cooked medium rare but obviously not the tenderest of meat and the chips nice and crispy if only it didn’t leave the slight taste of reused cooking oil. For bar food, this is pretty good but for the price I should hope so.

My wife & I had a few enjoyable drinks and afternoon tea at the Ocean Bleu in Folkestone today. We used to go to the Carlton Hotel for drinks for many years but haven't been there for quite sometime. We were pleasantly surprised with the new relaxed atmosphere in the place. The sandwiches and hot scones were excellent and the staff consisting of Zaida & Zofia were both very pleasant and efficient. We will be back!

Good service and a great location, shame about the food. Not familiar with 1920s prawn cocktail but if it’s stale bread, tiny frozen prawns, and very little sauce, they nailed it. The fillet steak was a poor cut and over cooked, not good enough for the price. Soon to become a Marco Pierre White, let’s hope the food improves when it does.

We were a party of 6 for Christmas dinner. We had generous and tasty cocktails to start. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Iced water arrived without us having to ask. The staff checked with us before serving each course. The food was plentiful and delicious. We all went traditional: prawn cocktails followed by turkey. Everything was perfectly cooked. Puddings were great too - Christmas puddings and cheese cakes. Highly recommend.

After taking in some NYD sea air my other half and I decided to drive along from Folkestone to Hythe to see if we could stop by cosy pub for a quick drink. We parked up and wondered along to the Globe Inn. Upon arrival we received a warm welcome from the Landlady who wished us a Happy New Year and sat us next to the log fire. No food was available but we overheard the owners offering to cook Fish and Chips for a couple who had also popped into the pub. I've never written a review before but this old school proper High Street pub deserves a mention and a reminder to everyone why we need to keep our local pubs alive. An unexpected surprise and a place we will definitely drop by again. Well Done!
