The Coach House Coffee Shop in Shepway

Food was delicious! The Cuban cocktails weren't bad either! Definitely recommend.

I have Mediterranean background and have eaten gyros from about 20 different places probably in my life, I live in Brighton and theres about 10 different places tou could get gyros from. This was easily the best gyros I have ever eaten, I was not expecting that at all. Superb place to eat.

Fabulous bar restaurant. The host were most welcoming and could not have been nicer. The cocktails were well made and lovely The food was authentic and delicious and came in good portion sizes. The menu is varied enough to cater for every taste.

Fabulous place for lunch! The Spartan burger is awesome! The millionaire biscoff cake is delicious, we were 6 hungry cyclists who left full up and happy! We will be coming back, super quick service too

Amazing pancakes, eggs Benedict and coffees!! Kudos to the chef and the team. Delicious, recommended highly.

Food is really good. Event nights are fun. Selection of wine beers and cocktails too. Best breakfast

We were staying at a nearby campsite and went into New Romney to get some dinner. The dog friendly pubs we visited all stopped serving food at 7pm so we wandered down the high street and stumbled across The Coachouse tucked down a little alleyway. Although the dogs were not allowed in the restaurant they had outside seating and the owner said we were welcome to eat there. What a little find! The food was first class , owner was the chef. The husband and wife team have got this place spot on. Friendly and professional service. Music playing was right up our street and we had an unexpected lovely evening at this great little establishment. Would throughly recommend and the moussaka and Halloumi fries were amazing.

Very nice food,and lovely coffee

Pleasant, but wouldn't go back - too expensive!

This is my first tripadviser review and i felt compelled to come and write , especially after reading the other reviews. We came for lunch, but we were too early, and it was busy with diners having breakfast which i have to say looked amazing. we sat in he sofa area and waited, had the most smooth tasting well rounded coffee, kids had milk shakes. The staff were attentive and checked on us regularly when were eventually guided to a table that became free. We had moussaka, a sicilian pasta, kids had southerfried goujons and chunky chips from the children's menu, a chicken souvlaki pitta but we opted for the one off the main menu and Chicken pizza, also from the main menu. The waitress was friendly and really helped us choose. We waited around 15 mins for the dishes to come out, and when they came you could see the freshness in which they were cooked, and my goodness the flavour was incredible. We were checked on a couple more times and had another round of drinks, this time I had a Draught beer and my wife had a glass of wine, milkshakes and soft drinks, too. We couldn't fault the staff or the food, the only let down was the other customers who were extremely rude to the staff, many of them ignoring the sign at the door alluding to table service and then the abhorrent nature in their responses when asked to take a seat. You could see the frustration in the batista having to step away from doing other diners drinks to tell people it's table service after walking past 3 signs stating so. If you're reading this please let the staff do their job, you'll have a much better visit and you may enjoy it as much as we did.. We will be back in the next half term, what a fabulous place.

This morning, I had the pleasure of starting my day at The Coach House with their delightful Greek breakfast. It was the perfect blend of creamy Greek yogurt, warm pan-roasted peaches, and crunchy walnuts, simple yet absolutely delicious due to Fredi Papadopoulos little twists on this classic dish! And of course, I couldn't leave without indulging in one of their freshly baked croissants, a must-have every time I visit. I know I've mentioned this before, but if you haven't tried The Coach House yet, you're truly missing out! Make sure to stop by and treat yourself to an unforgettable breakfast, lunch, or supper!

The best eggs Benedict I’ve had in ages… And amazing coffee! Hidden gem 👍🏻👍🏻

Walked in to ask about Vegan options after reading menu outside. Lady behind bar just passed another menu to us and didn’t offer any advice. Only Vegan option on the menu was vegan alternative for breakfast pancakes.

A lovely little restaurant near Dymchurch. Give the gyros a go really nice. Staff friendly and helpful.

Wonderful hidden gem just off the main shopping street. The food, both veggie and meaty is outstanding and very generous servings! Coffee and milk shake top notch too. The service was super friendly, and they kindly accommodated an autistic diner with sensitivity and care. Highly recommended!

We just parked up in New Romney and went shopping. As we were walking back we felt a little peckish and could hear music and observeda coffee shop called The Coach House. I won't go Into too much detail however I had a meal called the apollo which chiabato filled with cranberry sauce. grilled houloumi, lettuce, and southern fried chicken filled. It was absolutely gorgeous to taste. I would recommend this restaurant to all people young and old. Regards, Dave.

My partner and I ate here as we wanted to grab a bit to eat whilst enjoying the sun and we were both stunned by the food. The chef has got his flavours absolutely nailed, everything tasted amazing and the dishes were the type that you’d expect at a high end restaurant. This being said, the prices were still very affordable and the portion sizes are generous - so much so that I walked in quite hungry and still couldn’t finish my plate. The only criticism I have is that we waited upwards of 20 minutes for our food, but I’m more than happy to look past this as it was very busy, the food was well worth the wait, and the staff were attentive and checked on us regularly. If you’re Kent based and haven’t checked this hidden gem out, please do!

A fantastic gem of a place, really different and delicious menu, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We were staying next door and Coach House immediately felt like an extension of our cottage! Very friendly husband and wife team, great Greek influenced food (my chicken salad was fantastic), family friendly. Also good breakfast options, we had coffee and cake and just regret not being able to try more options!

For transparency I am a regular customer in the Coach House, but there's a reason I am a regular customer. Thier food is freshly prepared from scratch, incredibly tasty and refreshingly different from the big chains that seem to fill the High street. Today I popped in for lunch, it was absolutely rammed and I was lucky to get a table. It was the New Romney Fayre in town so much busier than usual, Fredi and Hazel had put on thier shortened lunch menu to ensure they could cater for the extra busy lunchtime service. This didn't mean reduced quality though, I had the spicy Chicken thigh Souvlaki Pitta with seasoned fries, oooh and the Ay Verde sauce, all that coriander , garlic and chilli really does pack a punch. I have always found Fredi Hazel and thier staff incredibly friendly and helpful. I would add that they have worked incredibly hard to create a strong sense of community in thier restaurant, this has previously included, free school dinners during the holidays, and more recently I have enjoyed thier Waxworks DJ set nights. Five star recommended from me. Give it a try.

would have given 0 stars if it was an option, didn’t get 2 seconds to look at a menu before the “owner “ was over our shoulder. when we asked if the frappe can come without coffee was told a strong no and “well that is a frappe” when we said you can get it without in costa we was told to and enjoy your costa. did not feel welcome at at all do not recommend happy family’s go here ,,……. go to costa

Visiting from the US for a week and stopped in several times. Coffee was fantastic and the food was just as impressive. Workers were friendly and even remembered us and our drink orders!

Full marks for our lunch today at The Coach House, celebrating a friend's birthday. We were a mixed group of diners, including two vegans and a vegetarian, and although this isn't a dedicated veggie menu, we each found a delicious and well-cooked choice from the pitta menu - two falafel and one halloumi, both served with salad and incredibly tasty seasoned chips. Our server was very attentive, and the chef came out personally to check that we were all happy and that the food was good. Very reasonably priced, and a decent drinks list. Thank you Coach House, we will be back soon! 🙂

Like this place, can you relocate to Rye by any chance? You could have my front room!!

The best part of our mini holiday to Camber Sands. I am sorry we only discovered this place on our last day here as we had the best food ever. As soon as we got out of our car, Fred welcomed us giving us change to pay for the car park as it was before 6pm. Hazel made sure we were happy with everything and brought us a high chair for the little one as we encountered a very strange experience the day before where we were denied access with the baby in a pub/restaurant in Camber. Had 2 moussaka , drinks and their fresh made cakes. If you are as disappointed as we were by the food in Camber sands and the restaurants around, this place is only 15-20 min away by car and I promise you won't regret it. The food is fresh made and the atmosphere cosy and intimate, perfect for couples, families or friend groups. A massive Thank You to Hazel and Fred for welcoming us to your gem of a restaurant and delighting us with your amazing food!

Consistently great food, friendly staff and Fredi and Hazel can't do enough to ensure you have a good experience. We have been at all times of the day and have never had any issues with service or food.

You will not be disappointed!! Beautiful food and beautiful restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

This place was okay. A little weird the gyros were out at a Greek spot, but I see from some other posts that they might’ve just misplanned as a result of a trip or something. Food was okay, service okay, the decor and flavor of the food was bland even though the seasoned fries look seasoned they taste bland and not fresh. Not sure what the food service standard are over here as I’m an International traveler, but Hazel was eating with her fingers behind the counter and I did not see her wash her hands. Unsanitary and a bit weird. I understand everyone has to eat but as someone who worked in food service for close to 8 years I have never done that myself. With the extended access to CCTV and the lengthy responses, I am sure I’ll be getting the most professional and calm reactions to this as a paying and honest customer who has nothing to gain from this— much like anyone else who makes a review. Consider myself prepared to get scalped 🤩🫡. Edit: Point made, folks. This is such a strange response. Not normal. If this was a blatant attack I would’ve started it at 1 star— not three. But, given again the professionalism and the combination with multiple other experience I should give this place what it deserves.

This place is very cute. The inside is nicely decorated and it looks like they have invested a significant amount of money into the kitchen/front of house. The blonde server we had was amazing and she was running that front of house like it was no one's business. It was disappointing to find out upon arrival that a Greek restaurant known for their gyros were out of their gyros. This was fine, we decided on one of the lunch sandwiches instead. Overall, the food is fresh and for the most part beautifully cooked. However, the chicken tasted overcooked and oily which was not balanced out with any type of acid to balance. Honestly, the dryness and greasiness of the chicken would be manageable with some type acidity and sauce been added. The fries were bland and didn't appear to be made in house. I could be wrong, but they did not taste fresh. Overall, it is a cozy little spot with great staff. Definitely not a bad stop, but if you are looking for something full of flavor this might not be the place. EDIT: After taking a longer moment to read through the reviews, I am expecting the owners to treat me with the same professionalism and respect they have treated other criticisms of their establishment... which is with none. A shame owners are too quick to defend and insult valid criticisms rather than listen and be open to change.

What a lovely lunch... The fries were out of this world! Lovely service. Highly recommend x

The first time I've had Eggs Benedict! Delicious 😋

A Hidden Gem in New Romney: The Coach House My wife and I are not frequent diners, but when we do indulge, we seek out venues that offer great cuisine at reasonable prices. The Coach House in New Romney has consistently exceeded our expectations, earning the title of the best dining spot in town by a long shot! What sets The Coach House apart is its dedication to quality. Every dish showcases ingredients of the highest caliber, with a focus on sourcing locally whenever possible. From farm-fresh produce to succulent meats, each bite is a testament to the Freds commitment to excellence. It's disheartening to see recent reviews that fail to recognize the value of this small, local gem. These criticisms seem unjustified and out of touch with the realities of running a business like The Coach House. Perhaps these individuals would be better suited to the food and environment offered in a less classy establishment, but for those who appreciate genuine culinary craftsmanship, The Coach House is a true find. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Fred and Hazel for their tireless dedication to delivering exceptional food. Their commitment to quality and passion for food shines through in every dish, making The Coach House a must-visit destination for anyone with an appreciation for fine cuisine. Thanks to Fred, Hazel, and the entire team for their continued excellence!

We had been told by friends to try the coach house. We went Friday for late lunch. It was fairly quiet. We had gyros and a chicken salad and coffees. Food was fantastic. Great coffee. Friendly staff. Our new favourite place to lunch.

I went here on a Saturday afternoon we wanted some food but was told we're not allowed because of where we were seated but we were sat where space allowed which was a couple of feet from the tables, the other downside is they close at 4pm on a Saturday so we didn't have much time in there. Not a good customer experience in our opinion!

Oh my word had Gyros in pita for lunch today, tasted just like it tasted when I had it in Greece last year 10 out of 10!

Always loved the food from Freddie and Hazel. Fresh produce, beautifully curated menus and authentic Mediterranean inspired food, a luxury you have to hunt high and low for, in an age of processed food and big soulless chains. Had take away menu tonight and ordered Pizza. Handmade on the premises dough, gorgeous toppings, delicious porcini mushrooms, and the sauces made by Fred which were to die for. Support your small local restaurants, they have a character, quality and authenticity the big guys can't copy. Looking forward to seeing what Fred and Hazel come up with in the coming months. Thank you.

Wonderful food, full of flavour, great vegetarian choices. Nice staff, and a clean, cosy, relaxed atmosphere.

Seriously happy food made with passion. Coffee was so good. Best food in the area.

Once again a must place to eat. 5 star place to eat 😋 ✨️ 👌. Will always be back

Had take away. Made to feel welcome as a walk in and food was great.

Outstanding food, a real culinary gem in New Romney, friendly service and fairly priced too.

Just traveling through and needed lunch. What a little gem. Best lunch outside of Greece. Had a Gyros felt like I was back on hoilday . Really good chicken burger and cakes. Super friendly. Shame not local to us .

Very 'cosy' place to eat. Lovely mocha coffee and the cakes are to die for. Belgian bun (huge) with a cherry on top or pecan and carrot cake. Decent sized piece of cake (I could always eat more!), very tasty, moist, delicious.

This little restaurant tucked off the main street is a hidden jewel. Inspired takes on classic dishes using fresh ingredients served by exceptional staff is an excellent place to start your day or have brunch.

Fabulous, well presented food. The Shakshuka is superb

Off the high street but a real treat for brunch. Pizza is great as are the burgers!

Great little cafe and nice atmosphere plus excellent food highly recommend.

Nice place. nothing exceptional.

Popped in here as was passing by. Being Greek the menu caught my eye. It's hard to find good Greek food outside of Greece but this really was fantastic. Delicious gyros that tasted super authentic and very tasty and big portions. You can tell the chef understands Greek cooking and flavours. We will definitely be back and make this a regular place for us. If you could add some galaktoboureko as a pastry that would be amazing! Kαλή δουλειά, νόστιμο!

Lovely place for a leisurely lunch!

Enjoyed the coffee and croissants (almond for me) in this very relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff. The menu is different and Greek style.

Always very friendly welcome from the staff!. Last time we visited we went for Sunday breakfast which was very tasty (Eggs Benedict )followed by coffee and cake. Always a good choice of cake on offer. 10/10

It was a good experience food was okay and atmosphere was nice aswell. Staff were friendly. However on the breakfast menu most of the dishes are egg dishes, I’m allergic to egg so the only choice I had was fruit and yogurt or a croissant unfortunately.

Had a nice welcome for our first visit. Noticed the Coach House a warm atmosphere and we were served quickly. We both enjoyed our breakfast and would recommend. Love the interior too.

Popped here for lunch on a weekend away and had a lovely experience. We brought our puppy with us and sat outside. We were immediately greeted by our server who was warm, welcoming and friendly - and very good with our dog! We got served quickly, I had the croque Monsieur which was served with an amazing mango chutney - delicious! The chips were really well seasoned and super crunchy! We also bought some millionaires shortbread to take away with us, also very tasty. It was lovely sitting in their cute little outdoors area with the church in the background and the sun shining. When I popped inside to use the toilet, I saw how lovely the décor was, with the coach house theme running throughout. Definitely worth a visit to this charming café in a sweet village. Parking right next door too!

What an amazing place. I've not been here for a long time so to see it revamped is brilliant. Customer service top quality food top quality. Any one and I've read the 1 x reviews and misguided 100% NO ONE IS RUDE IN HERE just the customers. If there is a few of you just call them first even with a coffee order. A heads up do not leave with out having breakfast cake and loads more. 100% best place. 5xxxxx and I did work in hospitality so I know what I'm looking for before I review.

Mean portion on the cakes Not so friendly staff Shame as environments pleasant. Mid price range if portion was in line - home made is not a reason for unreasonable price

A very nice place for a quiet coffee or tea , the walnut cake was lovely we will go there again. It's just off the high street .

Best pizza I've eaten in a long time. Top! Friendly service and a great evening. Thanks

We stumbled across this place for a coffee and the lovely owner let us know they opened for Greek food in the evenings. We booked a table and our only disappointment is that we didn’t have another chance to eat here again! Such delicious food - better than any Greek I’ve tried before. Well seasoned, fresh, great variety and every dish totally moorish. We stuffed ourselves so much on the generous portions we had to take desert to go! Wonderful find and will seek it out when int he area again - thanks for a great meal!

Always enjoy the excellent coffee and croissants here. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Have eaten a couple of the other meals but they're not to my taste as I prefer plainer dishes for breakfast / lunch.

Been there on Saturday along with my family and had the breakfast. We had Eggs Benedict, kids pancakes which was tasty. My wife had shakshuka. For the weather outside those days, we have been there with our friends, but they doesn't allow us to sit outside and we had to sit inside, where was a bit too warm.

We have recently moved to New Romney and been to the Coach House several times for coffee & delicious cake. We also went on a Sunday for breakfast with friends which we all enjoyed very much, the selection made a pleasant change from the usual ‘full English’ Last Saturday we decided to go for dinner, the meal was delicious and the portions were generous accompanied by a very nice bottle of wine. The staff are lovely and friendly and there is no rush as the table is yours for the evening. It is also good value for money and we will certainly be going again.

We stopped by for coffee and cake at the start of a cycle route around Romney Marsh. Good prompt service too. Popular with cyclists with space for bikes outside.

Loved it, amazing home made cakes, friendly, informal vibe, great value fir money

Amazing place for our first breakfast on our trip to south England. Very friendly staff and delicious fresh food.

Amazing meal and service again thank you xx

Just a stop for a visit to New Romney (after a trip to get rid of rubbish). Very efficient friendly staff. Delicious lattes either decaffeinated or not with tasty croissants. Very relaxed atmosphere especially sitting in the easy chairs.

Very nice coffee, everyone enjoyed it.

Apparently they don't do bread n butter! But I think that maybe says a lot about the people who complain about that??? I am a regular customer at the Coach House, since they opened in fact. Thier breakfasts are just amazing, Packed full of flavour , fresh and tasty. A little bit different too, and I applaud Fredi and Hazel for sticking to thier vision to offer something fresh and new in a remote quiet coastal town like New Romney, where doing that is gonna be a hard gig. Soooo glad they have stuck with thier vision. I love thier eggs Shakshuka , and Heuvos Rancheros . Yesterday we had lunch, I very nearly opted for the Grilled Peach and Proscuttio Salad with Kentish Blue crumbled on top. It's divine one of my favourites and you should try it. But both my kids and I went Greek, Pork Gyros, and Falafel Souvlaki, with a side of Halloumi Fries. Comfort food heaven! If your in New Romney and you haven't already, head to the Coach House, they are now doing evening sittings with live music too. Need to do that next.

We had a very good evening. Came for dinner. Lovely Greek food, cooked fresh. Lovely atmosphere. It was great. Thank you :)

A real gem tucked down an alley off the high street. We have been several times for coffee and cakes - there is a wide an interesting collection of drinks and other goodies including croissants, buns etc. The breakfast menu looks great with a creative offer and not the traditional offer of a fry up. Last night we went for another evening meal. This is real authentic Greek food cooked by the proprietor. We particularly loved the starters, so different from other so called greek restaurants . The wine list is interesting and all from Greece and realistically priced. The interior is comfortable and attractively designed. The chef husband and his wife who serves are professional and a,ways friendly.

I visited this morning, sat outside and ordered 2 coffees and 2 cakes. Whilst waiting we looked at the breakfast menu which looked interesting and we were thinking that it would be good to revisit. Until that is we received our 2 coffees and 2 cakes. I ordered the coffee and walnut cake which tasted very odd indeed. The sponge was dry and the cream was very hard. I asked my husband for his view and he agreed. I went into the restaurant and started my sentence very politely with “I am very sorry but this cake is tasting very odd”. I didn’t raise my voice and was expecting an offer to either replace the cake or an offer of an alternative. What I got was extreme rudeness. A man I am assuming is the chef and/or owner told me that the cake had been in the fridge and that is how it should taste. He then proceeded to dramatically lift the cake from the fridge and then cut a slice for himself, taste it and then announce loudly that it was perfect. I expressed regret that I was not being listened to and he then said very aggressively that I was wrong. All of this was very unnecessary and indeed my interaction had been polite and respectful. It is sad that what I received in return was such rudeness and aggression. I do question whether he would have been so with a male customer. Anyway one to sadly avoid at all costs.

Beautiful building, tucked away from the main road. Good menu, quality food, amazing service 🙏🏼

Just had a fantastic lunch at The Coach House, so friendly and food was amazing.Came away getting a Biscoff millionnaire for our son top :) Will definitely return to try out the evening menu.

I have had eggs Benedict in several places and none have been able to give me a runny poached egg……..until now!!!! It was delicious and I will definitely be returning!! Thank you

Great spot for a morning coffee! Dogs aren’t allowed inside, so we sat outside and the friendly server opened the awning as the weather was a bit hot and miss. Menu looked good, but we opted for a latte and a mug of tea. Hot, tasty coffee, good tea, and a lovely seating area.

First visit and really good food, will be going again.

Lovely place, good food and service. Great milkshakes.

Best Greek food I’ve had, even when I’ve been to Greece, staff very friendly couldn’t do more, in my opinion best place to eat around this area by far

This is a great place for lunch. I usually have a mocha (which is rich and delicious) and the Apollo Ciabatta, which is advertised as a light bite - but you certainly get your money's worth! Staff are really friendly and very efficient. They also...

Felt like I was in Crete on my holidays. Service quick and polite food quality excellent. Two happy customers

Food is as always exceptional, visited a couple of times and service has unfortunately always been a little slow but food is well worth the wait and staff are always apologetic.

Great place to go to if your in the mood for something new, Service is friendly, food always enjoyable, Burgers are always my go to food always enjoy a good burger, always the best when freshly made, unlike mcdonalds Reason i have shown half a burger is ate half and forgot to add it to the review >_<

Went for breakfast and the place was bustling. Great service & delicious food. Cannot wait to go back for the lunch / dinner menu.

We had a wonderful lunch at this hidden gem of a restaurant - The Coach House in New Romney. We were seated outside by very friendly staff. The sun was very strong so  the staff kindly extended their awning creating a lovely shade. They took our orders (its table service, so no need to approach the counter) I had a BLT (with a spicy Mediterranean twist) which really hit the spot, and highly recommend 😋 and my wife had an omelette , equally delicious! We ended up chatting with the fun (and good cheeky sense of humour that we love) owners Fred and Hazel, who were welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. All the food is made fresh on site to order and you could feel how proud they are about the quality of food and service. We chatted with the owners well past their closing of lunch service and if I could, I would have sat their drinking and chatting for the rest of the afternoon. While it's a distance from where we live (75 min drive) I'll definitely be returning. So if you're looking to try something a little different with some character then get yourself to The Coach House. I'd also suggest you visit soon before it becomes world famous and you miss out because it will be fully booked 😁

Excellent coffee and fantastic breakfast. Eggs Georgios was delicious, all fresh produce, nice hollandaise sauce, avocado, poached egg and crispy bacon. Great to have such fantastic food on my doorstep. Thank you

Wow a couple in hospitality who clearly dislike people! Sarcastic and rude. The locals told me to await a rude response and the waitress offered for me to have it out with them but I was respectful of the customers eating there

Very bad waiting staff obviously doesn’t want to know about issues and clearly very rude. Breakfasts was very pretentious and therefore expensive however couldn’t even get to order due to the rude encounter with staff, need more training in how to be polite and deal...

Lovely place to catch up with friends. The food was absolutely amazing. Staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Will be definitely going back.

Food so good forgot to take photo, had burger, large with flavoursome chips. All cooked fresh.

Lovely looking eatery. Decided to pop in for coffee and cake. Wonderful latte smooth and in a descent mug not a bad price at £3.00. Coffee Cake honestly such a small slice I actually commented, he said that’s how the make there money they should...

Had coffee & cakes with friends which were lovely. The atmosphere is great & the staff friendly & attentive. Will definitely go back soon & would recommend to anyone who's in New Romney to pay The Coach House a visit.

This is a well loved place by all

Nice food, but service took a long time and then they brought the wrong order! But they were very nice and gave us the food for free

Friendly staff, great service & delicious Greek food. Good choice of drinks. Menu is well presented with loads of options and clear information about ingredients in each meal.

All about lunch and dinner, coffee and cake not so much since change of ownership

Great coffee and cake. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

Amazing food, best Greek food around you should definitely try it! Been here a few times, especially recommended the gyros

Absolutely amazing food and attentive customer service.. Highly recommended.
