Lovely lunch inside one of the cabins. Lobster and mussels were great and staff were brilliant with our 3 year old boy

Had moule mariniere (without cream, no issue with request) excellent well prepared and cooked. Recommend visit for fresh local caught seafood.

Excellent food and excellent pricing. Great selection of mussels. Risotto was just ok, so skip that and get other items. Steak was enjoyed by one in our party as well.

I come here once a year and they serve the best Moules Frites. You are in for a treat at the end if you get the bread that you can dip in the sauce. Also definitely get fries!

A friend recommended Shesells Seashells so we went. We didn’t book which wasn’t an issue as there’s plenty of outside seating. We ordered the hot seafood sharing platter. It was outstanding, more than enough for two, We ploughed our way though it, mussels, Calamari, squid, scampi and the biggest crevettes Pius Mac m cheese, fries and two large chuncks of bread. Perfectly cooked and nice and hot. The service was spot on, attentive but not in your face. Our waitress pop over several times To make sure we were ok and if we needed anything else. I’d advise to book if you want to guarantee a table inside. We sat outside, with a lovely view of the harbour and the sands. It was a bit windy but we were given blankets just in case we got cold. We’ll be going back again and again until we’ve gone through the whole menu

Been a fan of this restaurant for the past few years. Good local produce, the seafood is the best anywhere. Fabulous setting especially when the sun is out. Can't want for more.

I ordered the hot platter and seafood linguine, and the boss also recommended the Thai mussels. It's really delicious, much better than the large seafood platter recommended by Xiaohongshu, especially the Thai mussels, which are super fresh and don't have any fishy smell at all. The only drawback is that the food is served a bit slowly, the kitchen is too small, and there are many guests. It is understandable that I miss it when I return to London.

Lovely idea in terms of the little train 'cabin' dining cars. Good service, and friendly competent staff. We had the hot platter. It was mostly fine. The seafood mac and cheese was nice and so was the salt and pepper squid, although the latter was the kind of breaded seafood you can get out of the freezer cabinet at Aldi. The main issue was that we didn't like the moules mariniere. We kind of came for the moules hoping these would be super fresh, but they weren't. I know we have had trouble with water quality in the UK (because companies flush poop into the sea), but I am not sure that that is a satisfactory explanation for the fact that some of our moules had a slightly 'manure' flavour. We didn't end up finishing the dish we had been most looking forward to. And it was meant to be a special birthday treat. Disappointed

We had the hot seafood platter and it was amazing, this is the 2nd time we have been here, both times have been exceptional. This is our favourite place to eat in Folkestone. We will definitely return and recommend to everyone. Apart from the food being outstanding, the staff are sooooooo nice. We love them. So attentive, friendly polite, professional and above all lovely, lovely people.

Visited last year and couldn’t get a reservation so determined to visit this year- it didn’t disappoint! A very wet day meant we had a carriage to ourself which only added to the romantic experience. The food was amazing and the local wine choices even better.

Old railway carriages next to the old station, still using the platforms. To windy to use the front outdoor seating so sat in one of the carriages. This was beautiful but turned out to be a little warm. Eventually Goldilocks and myself settled at a table on the platform sheltered by the carriages and with a roof. This was delightful. The service was amazing and attentive at all times, the food and wine ( much of which is local) was imaginative and served with passion. Mum is the cook and both daughters look after front of house. So good to see a family business thriving. This is not a cheap eats venue it is a good food destination. Great for a special occasion. High on our list for a repeat visit next time we venture down from Northamptonshite.

Fell in love with this restaurant from the very first bite! Its selection of seafood is simply mesmerizing – every piece was amazingly fresh and flavorful. The waitstaff were not only very polite but also experts in their craft, which added a special charm to our evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant is simply magical – it evokes feelings of coziness and luxury. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who values true quality and unforgettable experiences!

This an excellent and truly huge benefit to Folkestone! We have eaten inside the train carriage, which turned out to a great experience, and more informally on Monday 8th April. Huge compliments to the family team, who provide simple, good value and top class food, we enjoyed shell in prawns, steeped in chilli, garlic and herbs, salad, chips with bread….superb! Highly recommended

We had a warm seafood platter to share for 2 people and it was quite a lot of food. We had a full portion of mussels which were one of the best i ever had. The prawns in the sause were sublime. Was not too impressed by the 🦀crab mac and cheese but I guess it's just a very British thing...

Massively over priced just realised I was charged £40+ for 2 mussels and 2 chips......chips sold separately. Go Dutch 2 min walk away exact same menu and do mussels chips and bread for 13.50 a portion!!!! Honestly feel like I got robbed eating here. It's a shame because the food is good , i just don't understand why its double the price it used to be. Definitely won't be paying that again.

Superb!! Stumbled on this whilst strolling on the Harbour front- behind the modest exterior, SheSells Seashells is a gem of a find. Had the Thai style and they were the tastiest mussels I have ever had, packed with flavour. Washed it down with a local Kent ale. Would highly recommend a day trip from London for this place, for a meal that's better than most re mussels, and half the price - the chef is a genius with flavours, friendly service and a lovely setting on a sunny evening....perfect!

We had a lovely meal at this quirky restaurant yesterday. I had crab risotto and my husband had moules! Lovely glass of English wine not overpriced. All very fresh and delicious. Staff (I understand this young lady runs it with her mum) was very obliging and when the diners left who were next to the window offered to move us for a better view nothing was too much trouble. I imagine it would be very busy in the summer but there was a lot of outdoor seating. Will definitely be visiting again.

This was our third visit. Had an incredible lunch of green mussels followed by lobster Thermador, salad and truffle chips in the cosy old school train carriage with a wonderful view of the sea. Food is excellent and the staff are lovely. For warmer weather there's plenty of outside seating on the harbour arm. All seating is wooden benches in case this is not your thing. Highly recommend a visit.

We had the dressed crab seafood platter & it was sublime. The potted shrimp in particular was fantastic. So fresh and well presented with great attention to detail (down to the fish plates & serving mayo on a shell.) We also had the truffle fries which were heavenly. Really good value for money and the service was friendly and attentive. Lovely sea view to top it off. Can't wait to go back and try the flavoured moules.
