Quint's Retreat Cafe in Swale

Something you don’t experience every day -a Jaws themed cafe. We drove through a housing estate, then through a boatyard to find this rare treat of a cafe. But my goodness, it was worth it. A perfect setting with excellent homemade food for a very reasonable price. But what really sets this place apart is the whole unique experience. There is an old train carriage which is the setting for indoor dining and a very picturesque decking area if you want to eat outside. Fortunately we had good weather so it was outside for us. Dogs are welcome.

Jo has worked tirelessly to improve this hidden gem. It’s now a must when visiting Faversham, just for the fun of it. Great Bacon Sandwiches and Fish Finger wraps. Will be back again soon.

The wonderful Quint’s Retreat cafe has recently been upgraded to include a beautiful sundeck for outdoor seating, as well as a converted train carriage for those pesky rainy spells. Jo has also expanded her menu, introduced crockery and a gentle musical playlist as an accompaniment to your afternoon by the creek. A fabulous place to pause as you head for your walk on the marshes, or across to Whitstable. Highly recommended.

Lovely little hidden gem. I've been there with my lady a couple of times for coffee and it's always so cute and quiet. Haven't tried to food yet but the frapes are really nice.

Fabulous little spot! Well worth a visit. Owner is super- friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxed. If I lived closer, this would most certainly be my new favourite place to frequent :-)
