Popped in as stopping at local T’Lodge and luckily found a table for 4 of us. Busy place and the food / service was spot on. Friendly happy cafe with red hot coffee 😄 Only negative bit would be the maybe use local sausages but that’s a minor, overall great place for Sunday morning breakfast.

Good traditional "greasy spoon" cafe. Good value, good portions and popular for a reason. Worth a try

My parents always eat here on a Sunday and I was introduced to this little gem of a cafe a few years ago, so I thought it was the high time i write a review. I have always had wonderful Sunday dinners here, they’re one of the best I have ever had. I have always looked forward to eating here on a Sunday when I visit, which is every couple of weeks. The owners are always very accommodating and always so pleased to see us. Honestly, you need to eat here, especially on sundays.

Great for a quick bite to eat if you fancy traditional cafe food. Good value for money, nothing special on the food side. Tea and Coffee was ok, not great. What I did like was that they clearly get regular locals in here, the staff knew their customers and helped those that needed it - even getting in/out the door with their bags and things which was lovely to see such great care and attention from the staff, no wonder people come back!

we came here for a breakfast, the bacon and sausage seemed a bit tasteless, but it was cheap and it filled us up

Came here as clearly a popular place with some regulars. Good value, the food was ok. Decent think bacon for the breakfast, but average quality food for a cafe really. Tea was a bit rubbish, just hot and wet, not really much flavour. The service however was fab, couldn't be faulted. Polite, friendly staff. They were keen to help the customers and helped people feel at ease. So there was a lovely atmosphere. If you want a cheap fry up with great service come here.

Hubby and me out midweek shopping in Sittingbourne town centre, as we came out of the bank there was a wonderful smell of bacon. We followed our noses to the Swell Café. It was very busy (always a good sign) but managed to get a table where we quickly had our orders taken. The meal came on a large oval plate, bread/ toast and a cuppa. Everything was cooked well not swimming in grease either. I had, egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, beans & bubble with 2 slices of bread and it only cost £4.80 The café is aptly named as my waistline did swell with the amount of good food. I shall return !!!!

Car is ok. Service is normally quick. They use value supermarket products but ok for a quick snack rather than a full meal

Probado este lugar como el café de la estación no estaba todavía abierto. Poco podíamos hacer lugar cuchara grasienta con profundidad. Ordenados en el mostrador ya que no había una camarera/camarero. La comida fue preparado y entregado a mi mesa por la camarera ahora! Los ingredientes eran de protectores de supermercado" estándar. No disfrutar realmente de mi experiencia cuando un cliente con los gritos de los niños entró en el café. Comí rápidamente y les dejó.

Para el almuerzo, un salto en el hígado y el tocino ordenados con puré, cuando este llego necesitaba una cámara, ¿por qué uno nunca alrededor en esos momentos. La placa veía hermosa cargada con tiras de tocino finamente en rodajas de hígado, piezas guisantes montones...

We used to go in here on a sunday morning but sorry never again. The food and drink is ok but one of the customers that we had seen in there a few times was quite disgusting with his food and drinking habits. We counted him putting 17 spoonfuls of sugar into his coffee! Other customers commented on him doing this as well. Lots of more spoonfuls went on the table and floor as well. Spilt coffee all over the table where it had all overflowed.When we mentioned to the staff what he had done all they did was laugh at us and say we are used to it he comes in here regularly. We got up paid our bill walked to the door slipping on the spilt sugar and walked out. You can say we won't be returning again.

Went there for the first time with my sister and was very impressed. I had the best bacon sandwich ever! My sister had omlette and salad which came with chips. The staff were lovely and made you feel welcome. We had cold drinks but couldn't believe the it only cost around £8.00. Very pleased indeed.

Cup of tea and a cooked breakfast. Silly cheap sausages and fatty bacon. Good egg but but not worth the asking price. Staff OK but not the friendliest. Odd mix of customers too. Won't be going back.

Good value for money, I had the liver and bacon with mash and peas and it was nice. Hubby had a burger brunch which he enjoyed, generous portions and tasty, better than some pub chains which dont offer the same quality of food and serve small portions.

I found this online as I wanted to take my Mum for tea and cake somewhere, so off we went. After quite a search (using SatNav) we eventually found it. It’s exactly as we’d hoped - warm and cosy, excellent staff, delicious cakes and a really good pot of tea. Definitely glad we persevered and we will go again for sure. Lovely 👌

I recently had reason to contact Greggs head office following a visit to this branch. When I informed them that I wanted to eat-in, they said that I had to give them my details. I gave them the information asked for, but felt uncomfortable with the manner that my details were taken. The information I provided was typed into a tablet held behind the counter. Once provided, I sat down. I decided to speak to the manager about my concerns. He was unable to provide me with any information about where my data would be held, for how long and what use my data would be put to. He indicated that it was for COVID and nothing further. I pointed out that I was wearing a mask to prevent spreading this illness and not one staff member was. He said that it was personal choice. I contacted head office to ask what their data protection policies were and was offered a general explanation, not related to what this branch was doing. Anyway, their head office said that shop staff should NOT be stopping entry into the restaurant because of anyone not giving personal data. Today I returned and staff are doing the same thing. Still nothing about data is displayed in store and no explanation about how the information is used.

5 of us called in after a walk intent on a drink and maybe food. But we weren't acknowledged at all and waited 10 mins with no service so left. Shame really as we had heard good things about the place.

THIS IS A DIRTY HOTEL. Bleach water doesn't make it clean. Do not waste your money. This hotel is nasty and dirty, and the food was awful. And the staff and their service were even worse. The hotel needs to shut down and be rebuilt. Spa , jacuzzi is not working. We didn't even get the pass we asked for. And people who did had to get staff to let them in. We walked around, but we were told that these had been broken for the past few days before we booked, but we were not informed of this. Before our arrival. No one told us about this at the time of booking or afterwards. We were still under the impression from the website booking.com that this was a spa hotel. How very disappointing. And misleading totally. The room was dirty, the receptionist said l can only leave a message for the manager when we complained. No one spoke with us. And it was too late to book anywhere else. the sink in the bathroom was broken and glued back together. Rusty bin, dirty shower, water only dribbled out. There was no water pressure, there was dirty floors, cobwebs, and hair of all sorts on the floors. The carpets in the bedroom had loads of stains. Bed base was all torn and stained. The kettle had loads of limescale in it. But when we boiled it and poured the water out, the limescale kept coming out every time. So we couldn't even have a cup of tea. There was a flashing pedestrian light outside that came through the curtains. So, sleep was not an option. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I don't recommend any food. And the coffee was cold. We had to get our own cutlery as none of them were on the table.
