Clean and bright interior with ample off-the-road parking at no cost. Table service by delightful staff. I had two slices of fresh and crispy fried bread, two fried eggs with just runny yolks, two rashers of bacon, a slice of black pudding and a tub of baked beans. With a large mug of Americano coffee and 10% optional service my bill was £15.29 and worth every penny.

Been visiting Teal for a few years now. It used to be so nice, less busy and more pleasant to hang around and chat but now it gets so busy and noisy, which is great for the owners but not so good if you want a relaxing chat. Also great for the owners is the seemingly, ever increasing prices they charge. Today I had the Kentish breakfast. £11.25 for one sausage, one rasher of bacon, beans, scrambled egg and a hash brown. And a slice of toast. I think I may have issues 50p me for the scrambled egg. The food tasted ok (not amazing), but for the price/food/items I really do expect better value.. Another slice of toast, mushrooms... £11+ for single items of average food is not good. But the cafe is always so busy so it must be doing something right (or there are no nearby alternatives). A friend did have eggs Benedict and that did look nice and arguably better value. Teal is certainly not a greasy spoon kind of place but it's not a restaurant either. Which is also why the 10% service fee is unreasonable and makes things awkward when self paying at the till. (Not exactly a mark of good service). And that's the crux of it Teal is now all about what goes through the till rather than serving a decent, reasonably priced breakfast! I'm sorry Teal the last few visits I've felt the same but decided not to review but I'll go somewhere else in future.

Having passed here hundreds of times in the car, it was about time I stopped in for a full English. I was pleasantly surprised with how large the café is, and that it was relatively packed too considering it's quite out of the way. The decor is really lovely, and it feels cosy inside, and you can bring dogs inside too. The staff were great, and really friendly. We had the Teal Breakfast with black pudding added on, all the elements of the breakfast were perfectly done to my liking, and the egg yolk was still runny too! Will definitely be back for another fry up at a later date

Called in for a late lunch. Must have passed the place 100's of times. This is my first visit, pleasant atmosphere freshly painted, some quirky quips on the wall, lovely lunch. And the odd ageing rocker amongst the clientèle. Good for a roadside stop. Without the big chain rip off.

Review based on many visits, most recently last month. Food is consistently excellent and much of it is locally sourced. The Tiffin cake is my favourite for a naughty treat, and the milkshakes are a firm favourite with the children. Apart from one visit (in many) I have always had brilliant service and the staff are happy to help. The cafe is dog friendly and my dogs have always had lots of fuss! There are water bowls for your dog which is lovely. Only disappointing thing is that they have decided to not take cash so now are card only.

We have been regular customers of Teal for many many years but of late, the experience hasn’t been good at all… not least the cost! Over £43 for breakfast / smoothies for 2!!! FORTY THREE POUNDS - and that was after we asked for the service charge to be removed! And the eggs are often split / over cooked on the breakfasts. Staff turnover seems very high. Often left waiting to be served and/or grumpy waiting staff. Drinks arriving late into the meal. A cheese omelette cost over £12 (not inc salad or chips which are charged extra!!) Ridiculous prices! Without the service / attention to detail. We won’t be going back, as many other locals agree…

First impression like a hospital canteen, ridiculously overpriced, £13.25 for the teal breakfast of 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, very small beans, half a tomato, and 0ne small flat mushroom, slice of toast, add to that a large?? Coffee comes to £16.50....not impressed at all, double the price of a lot better and bigger breakfasts elsewhere... This is a cafe not the ritz hotel.. My wife had 0ne slice of salmon and scrambled eggs one toast. £12.25.was so bland left the eggs. All in all a rip off never again.!!

When we arrived at the cafe to have a bite to eat while the car was being washed. We were sat down and given menus. Several people who arrived after us were served first. We asked for tea and coffee and the tea was Luke warm. The young man serving had a fairly detached and disinterested off hand attitude. I ordered the standard breakfast. After 45 minutes our food had not arrived. The car had long since been washed hoovered and parked up. When asked where our food was - we were informed it was another 15 to twenty minutes away. We informed them we were not prepared to wait and should have been informed if there was going to be a long wait. They said sorry but still charged for the tea and coffee. The least they could have done was offered these as a comp for their extremely poor service and sloppy attitude.

Acoustics can be forgiven, but when it came to pay the bill, I gestured to a server who disappeared? I had to get up and tried to make eye contact with 3 people behind the counter, one of our party said one has to pay at the till. There were 8 of us, we wanted to split the bill, some who have left by then after leaving cash. A rather surly unfriendly individual said they don’t take cash because there is no change available, we said we don’t need change. We were then told we could only pay per item on the bill. If she had apologised for the inconvenience, tried to help resolve it and made it easy for everyone, we might have walked away not feeling quite so frustrated. A bit of friendly helpful customer service makes the worlds difference.

Teal cafe is a great place to go for a reasonably priced meal. The menu options are good for a cafe and overall my experience has been very good. It gets quite busy at weekends which just goes to show how popular it is. They do a lovely cheeseburger,a good range of jacket potatoes and paninis and other items.

We arranged a family get together on Saturday as we live in different areas and the teal was middle distance for all of us. I booked a table for 8-10 people and agreed that we would be there at around mid day.having said that the group from Epsom arrived 45 minutes early, this was not a problem,they were seated at the table. They were not offered any drinks until we arrived , although I was advised in the email confirmation that they were busy with a large group it would have been nice to offer a drink whilst waiting. When we arrived we could see that it was very busy but well staffed to cope,nice clean cafe well presented staff very welcoming. We placed our order with a really charming member of staff and nothing was too much trouble. When the food arrived we were all very happy with the quality, obviously top notch ingredients well prepared and delivered to our table hot and at the same time. Now I have seen the reviews about it being very expensive, if you want to compare it to a road side burger van then you will find it expensive. If you enjoy good quality food in a professional clean environment served by friendly well presented staff then this is the place for you, it may be a little more expensive than some other places but you really do get what you pay for , I would recommend that you treat yourself to a trip to this wonderful cafe ,if you enjoy goog food you will not be disappointed

We were served today by Freya who could not have been more helpful, bringing our food really quickly, providing extra water for my teapot and attentively clearing our table as we finished with plates.

We arrived after having booked a table and stood at the door for 10 mins before we just decided to go and ask why we had to queue with those who hadn’t booked. Then we got a table finally and ordered drinks. Didn’t receive our drinks until 35 mins later. Food came 15 mins after that. Although fresh, the wait was just too long. To add to that, the place is loud like a Wetherspoon and understaffed. Terrible terrible first experience and we definitely won’t be back.

Definitely best part of the while thing. I ordered eggs Royale which was essentially eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. It came with microgreens and hollandaise sauce on the side. It was rather simple. I wish it came with some sliced avocados as it tasted a bit bland. I'm interested in going back to try the American pancakes

Food is quite good but the tea cup is dirty with broken milk container. Hot chocolates are cold. I would not recommend this café at this price (£45 for 3 people!).

We all enjoyed our meals. Portions were pretty good but it was quite expensive for what it was. Difficult to create an "atmosphere" in such a large naturally lit area. Really, best described as an up-market greasy-spoon! The service from the friendly and efficient staff was superb.

This has to be the most expensive cafe I’ve ever visited. Poor service that took forever, I asked if I could have tinned tomatoes instead of beans this was not an option 🤷‍♂️ my fried eggs were hard and grossly over cooked. We were on...

Very nice cafe, very helpful friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. I had ordered the wrong thing ()my fault ) and they changed it with no problems. Yes it's noisy if you sit outside as right on the road but that's why we chose it as very...

A most excellent breakfast. Biker friendly, with off-road parking.

Diverted past due to road works, looked nice, staff very polite and efficient. Had Kentish Breakfast @ £10 seemed a bit excessive at first, ok don't get me wrong I'm not opposed to a £10 breakfast it's just what you get for your money (value for money) 1 round of Toast, a ramekin of Beans, a small pre cooked Egg, a large (very nice) Sausage and (the elephant in the room) a Very small pre cooked and dried up slice of Bacon which in my opinion unnecessary as it took an obscene amount of time to receive our food, it really wasn't that busy, I think they could included tea or coffee in the price. Now don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting you avoid this place, on the contrary the Food was nice, the staff was nice and the settings was nice. PS. (In their defense) when I complained about the Bacon it was replaced with an equally small but not as dried up rather.

Good food, good service and lovely staff. You can hear road traffic from the outside or the marquee but the owners obviously wouldn’t be able to do anything about that. Highly recommend the halloumi and mango salad.

Had breakfast in here today, chap came in with his guid dog and was almost refused entry, the owner and his staff are clearly not very clued up when it comes to guide dog legislation, they made him and his dog and the lady with him sit by the door. I'll not be using this cafe ever again. I hope the owner reads this and gets to grip with the legislation along with his staff, 20 years I've been in catering one waitress said!! really!! very very poor experience, especially in this day and age.

Good place for a pint. But don't stay too long. Bit of a tourist trap. And I think it's cursed by djinn and Kala jadu

After over 10 visits to The George & Dragon in Ightham, my recent experience left a bad impression. Due to poor WiFi and card connection issues, I couldn’t pay my £40 bill and was asked to leave my backpack as security while I fetched cash. As someone from the Guernsey community, I found this insulting - I wouldn’t vanish over a £40.00 bill. For an establishment I’ve supported many times, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

We visited The Hengist at 2pm on Sunday 10th November for a family meal of 6 adults & 2 children. The decor looked amazing and the initially very friendly staff took care of our drinks and foods orders well, encouraging us to order extras like gravy and roast potatoes at this point as ‘in his words’ if we didn’t order them now we would have finished our meals by the time they arrived. Having had 2 rounds of drinks all arriving in good time we started to wonder when the food would come. 2 starters of scotch eggs arrived about 30 minutes after ordering but unfortunately the sausage meat part was raw so we let the waiter know that we weren’t happy to eat them. An hour later (so 90 minutes after ordering) we still had no mains, the waiting staff now seemed to be trying to avoid us including to order more drinks and we had to call someone over to ask if at least the kids food could be sent as they were now getting hungry. Soon after a kids pasta and kids roast beef (which had no vegetables whatsoever priced at £11) came out. Still no mention or apology of our wait on food plus a couple of us were now without a drink. 20 minutes later when the children had finished their meals and no check on our table or explanation for our wait on food had been given we decided we had had enough and we would leave, asking for the bill of what we had consumed. A bill arrived including everything we had ordered including the missing meals, missing extras, returned starters and £5 each for the kids apple juices which were supposed to be included in a kids meal as well as a service charge percentage of all of that on top totalling £300! As you can imagine by this point we were quite annoyed, so having told the waiting staff as such, finally an owner came to our table but instead of apologising or trying to correct the situation we were made to feel like difficult customers. We left having spent over 2 hours not eating any food (except the children) and still having spent £90 (a few beers, 1 glass of wine and 1 gin & tonic). I haven’t left a restaurant this dissatisfied in a long time. I understand sometimes things go wrong in hospitality but some communication, an apology and an offer of reconciliation perhaps in the form of some complimentary drinks could’ve maybe corrected this experience to not leave us feeling quite so outraged that we will not only not return but will also actively avoid recommending anyone to try The Hengist!
