The Cosy Kettle in Ashford

Excellent little cafe/restaurant and tea room in the heart of Hamstreet. Excellent service and excellent good quality food in such pleasant surroundings. Trevor has been an invaluable addition to the already lovely team. Well done Sadie, Danielle and Trevor for making our visit enjoyable. A must visit for anyone who likes a great experience in both food and company.

Really nice place with good coffee and cakes and good atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Also has offerings from various local artisans.

Afternoon tea was delicious. Had a lovely time with a group of six friends. Staff were very helpful food was amazing and as much tea and coffee as you could drink definitely visit there again.

Had a brilliant afternoon tea today. Best I’ve had in the Ashford/Romney Marsh area. A lovely start was the small cup of soup, then the sandwiches followed by a lemon posset to cleanse the palette before the scones and cake. Everything home baked Superb!

Lovely cafe, we had sandwiches which were fresh and tasty. Friendly service, will visit again when in the area . Lovely homemade section of cards and gifts .

We privately hired the cosy kettle for an 80th birthday tea party. The food was delicious and food allergies were well catered for. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cafe had a lovely cosy atmosphere. The prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommend.

An attention to detail, local business providing lunch and much more. Great little place and should be visited if you fancy somewhere different. Pizza’s look amazing and will certainly try them. Lovely staff, Sadie and Lisa are friendly, kind and make you feel welcome.

Came with a friend for coffee and lunch and was really tasty and fresh! I had the jacket and she had a Panini :) would recommend and will be back

An amazing find through Trip Advisor when searching for a dog friendly cafe! The service was outstanding to humans and dogs! We had a young puppy and an older dog and both were treated well! With treats and a bowl of water! Highly recommend and will be back again! Thank you all!

We wanted to try an afternoon tea, so we visited The Cosy Kettle, as they came highly recommended. We were definitively not disappointed. Sadie and her team were very welcoming and the service was fantastic. All the items we ate were hand cooked and utterly delicious. We had an excellent time and will be back again soon. I'd definitively recommended anyone to try x

We came across The Cosy Kettle a few weeks ago on a run, and saw the pancake breakfast (order 48 hours in advance) so booked for a birthday treat. It was outstandingly amazing, super yummy, really lovely environment, friendly people and great value. Definitely will be back as there are so many other things on the menu we want to try! Would completely recommend the pancakes too.

Lovely quiet setting, great service with freshly prepared food made with fantastic ingredients. Chose a few items from the extensive list and ended up with a full English, the service was fast considering it was made freshly, not that I was in a hurry, it was just a great place to site and read the paper. I definitely want to return and try the pizza menu they offer later in the day.

I booked for my friend and I and we had a lovely little table reserved for us when we got there. The service was good and friendly and we didn't wait too long for food, we both had jacket spuds and they were good, amazing homemade coleslaw on mine. The best part was the gluten free toffee torment cake, it was fabulous and both my friend and myself had to stop ourselves from stuffing it down, it was so good. Bought a piece home for hubby and he loved it too. Would highly recommend this little cafe and I'm looking forward to going back and trying their afternoon tea next time.

A request to clear our table after the previous occupants, was met with… well, difficult to describe, - petulance? the waitress took one object from the crowded table. We cleared the remainder onto the adjacent table. Our table with crumbs from the previous people remained unwiped. I couldn’t wait to leave. I can visit better places than this to be treated rudely! We’re fairly local and had been looking forward to trying out this cafe, but we won’t be returning.

Visited for the first time today. I have a gluten and lactose intolerance and eating out can be a nightmare. This superb cafe did me a really tasty gf chicken and bacon toastie and provides oat milk for teas and coffees if needed. My Husband thoroughly enjoyed his ploughman's lunch. Thank you so much to the lovely friendly attentive staff. This is one place will become a firm favourite with us both.

A short walk from the nearby public car park, or in our case our house. Always friendly reception. Great options for lunch or snacks, in house, take away and pre order. Very traditional and reasonably priced

I tend to frequent the Cosy Kettle once or twice a week as I work nearby. Generally I will have lunch and or a coffee and a cake, or sometimes both. The staff are well known to me and always friendly. The food is prepared on the premises and the cakes are homemade with a very good selection on display. Sometimes I am on my own, with friends, or a business meeting.

We've been twice in the past month, both times for lunch on sunny times (pity they don't have room outside). The sandwiches are fresh, coffee fine and the service friendly. Excellent.

Thank you so much for the most delicious cakes and drinks plus lovely friendly customer service. Super nice staff members. Many thanks 😊

Absolutely lovely! The restaurant is beautiful and the staff are super friendly. The food is delicious, my partner and I enjoyed pizza and dessert, the menus options are an excellent value. We are definitely going back. The dining experience overall is very pleasant. I highly...

We were thinking of moving to the area and popped in for a coffee. There was great coffee on offer and the staff were so friendly. They spent time with us talking about the area. We returned nearly 2 months later for lunch which was...

Definitely worth a visit. Delicious cakes! Lovely staff. A great choice on offer too. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, great toasted cheese sandwiches and coffee. Perfect stop for hungry cyclists on a cold January day

Three generations met up for a lovely afternoon tea here. The staff were brilliant with the kids and the food was just amazing! Particularly lived the Kentish tart, coronation chicken sandwiches and banoffe pie served in a shot glass. Well worth the visit.

Superb little venue. Hkme made novelty and standard cakes par excellence . Great sandwiches and other light snack options.

Have been unable to visit since the summer refit during lock down. Can't wait for the opportunity to round there but must wait a few more days. Home delivered order looking and tasting as scrumptious as ever

Great little place for a light lunch with the family. Good homemade food and great value. The staff are friendly and the service is great. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Went for a quiet lunch post lockdown. Was quickly seated at reserved table, was very clean. Hand sanitizer at the door and clear one way system. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and always, especially Sadie's homemade cakes.Can highly recommend a visit...

The staff are always pleasant. The range of home made cakes is not for the diet conscious. Great baking and can't wait to visit the refurbished facility when its completed.

Visited here with a large group of friends after playing tennis at the nearby courts. We were pleasantly surprised how busy it was on a cold winters day. At the rear there is a cute area for children to play with a kitchen play set....

My best friend and I had lunch here yesterday and it was delicious! Tuna mayo sandwiches, tea and delicious lemon cake. Staff were friendly and helpful, service was excellent. Thank you! Highly recommended 😊

I was recently part of the support team for a charity cycle from Aylesbury in UK to Ypres, Belgium. There were 28 people in our group and we stopped off at the Cosy Kettle as one of our coffee stops. Nicola at the Cosy Kettle...

Friendly service, clean, bright and airy surroundings. Food was freshly prepared and staff were happy to adapt what was on offer to suit the individual customer. The range included sandwiches, salads (fresh and crunchy), quiche (large delicious portion), jacket potatoes (various fillings), cakes... Been here...

Quick stop by lunch and wasn’t disappointed. We had jacket potato with coronation chicken and a seafood cocktail sandwich. All served with salad which was a touch. Generous portion size and yummy! Service quick and friendly. We’ll return when we are next here.

Perhaps I don't go often enough but always a friendly service and lovely cakes and lots of tea. Grandchildren love it

I've been in several times over the years and sorry to say I think it's gone downhill a bit. We went in for a cream tea and the scones were rather hard and inexplicably had lemon peel in them. Personally I like a plain scone in a cream tea, which wasn't available. We also had one of the large shortbread biscuits which was disappointing too. On the positive side the staff were friendly and helpful and the coffee was good, it was just the baked goods that let the side down.

A surprise Mother’s Day trip with my daughter and 3 year old granddaughter. Greeted on arrival and given the perfect table by the toy corner so that my granddaughter could go off and play safely near us. Fantastic selection of sandwiches and cakes. Bread so fresh and filled with delicious ingredients. Triple layer sponge cake, small fruit tart, salted caramel brownie and or course a large fruit scone with jam and clotted cream. As much tea as we wanted. My granddaughter had her own tray of sandwiches and cakes and thoughtfully the salted caramel brownie was substituted with an Oreo brownie. We didn’t feel rushed. A lovely bunch of carnations was handed to both me and my daughter as it was Mother’s Day, such a lovely touch. Very friendly staff, fresh, tasty food and a lovely setting. Will definitely return.

Visited this coffee shop to break our journey after reading reviews on this site. The coffee was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the sticky toffee gluten free sponge cake and my husband enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake. The staff were friendly and weclcoming.

Fantastic tea room in a nice Kentish village. Great choice of cakes, scones, light lunches and drinks. Great service with a warm and friendly environment .

We visited unexpectedly and we are so pleased that we did!

Revisiting the area and hadn't realised this little gem had opened. Cheese scone was lovely, served with a chunk of cheddar and chutney; cakes delicious and panninis served with creamy coleslaw and salad. Well worth a visit.

Real little hidden gem. Serving everybody from a 9 month old baby in a high chair, a nine month old puppy to a ninety something lady.

I had a wonderful afternoon tea with 15 of my friends to celebrate my bithday. The food was all delicious with lots of variety of sandwiches and cakes. The staff were very attentive and were extremely helpful with all our needs.

We had a very lovely visit to the Cosy Kettle to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Afternoon tea was amazing, very relaxed atmosphere with unlimited tea.

We had a very yummy afternoon tea with friends at the cosy kettle with a variety of sandwiches and cakes and unlimited cups of teas . The staff were brilliant and very friendly . Fully recommend the cosy kettle .

A nice little coffee shop . That provides for food intolerance people . Which was goid for us . Cakes were really tasty . Friendly staff .

Great vibe and friendly atmosphere lots to offer, cakes, sandwiches drinks ect. Definitely recommend.

The lunch we had was lovely and the staff were wonderfully attentive without being over bearing. The decor etc is lovely, however the prices are higher than similar places and the variety of cakes wasn’t all that much, with no signs to say what each cake flavour was. That being said will certainly be back here for lunch! The coleslaw is amazing!

Nice little coffee shop. Excellent menu choice. Good coffee. Not too expensive (3 of us food n drink £20.00) Very friendly and polite staff. Definitely recommend

Stumbled across this coffee shop on our way elsewhere, but will definitely be making a return visit. Warm welcoming staff, excellent coffee and a lovely atmosphere - very bright and open. Reasonably priced too. Would recommend :)

My first visit today and it will definitely not be my last. What a great find, lovely coffee and a great selection of home made cakes, most of all such a warm reception by staff and the owner. It is a bright and airy space to sit and enjoy a treat. I watched as local elderly people were looked after with thought and kindness. Also dog friendly.I look forward to my next visit.

Always a pleasure to visit (sadly not as often as I would like) but yet again today the service was wonderful, food was gorgeous, and the welcoming atmosphere was really appreciated. So lovely to hear the goings on of a local community and the staff knowing customers by name - I would definitely recommend this lovely place!

Popped in on the way to Ashford after our son recommended it. Plenty of parking in free car park opposite. Food was excellent and staff are very friendly in this family run business. The cream scone and toffee cake were outstanding.

We stopped in here for lunch and tea. It's a nice, clean quiet tea room. A decent selection of tea and the cakes look fab. We decided on a pot of tea each and Quiche Lorraine and a Jacket with Seafood mix in sauce. It wasn't long before we had our tea, and the food soon came too. It tastes fabulous and we enjoyed it all. For desert we had a scone with Jam and cream and a slice of Sticky Toffee cake. Wow, they were both fresh and very tasty. Overall a lovely experience and as we are fairly local so will deffo be back. Thanks Cosy Kettle.

We often go here for lunch it's excellent good food plenty of choice at a resonance price. Well worth the walk from the office.

I've been a few times now with my daughter and if your after coffee or tea with a bit if cake it's great. But the lunch menu is lacking and a bit disappointing.

Recently moved into the area and discovered this little gem. Have started to call in for a coffee in the morning and had some lovely lunches.

Fuimos en hoy, muy cerca de la hora de cierre para hacer una pausa en mi camino de perro. Fueron muy amables y mi cachorro incluso conseguir un bowl de agua. Siempre muy agradables en otras visitas. Genial cuando tranquilo para tomar encantador con sus amigos, pero puede ser muy concurrida porque es bonito en allí (ojalá que era más grande! )

He visitado varias veces el par de años que ha estado abierto desde entonces y nunca he tenido una mala visita. La comida es estupenda y el café es bueno y el personal es muy amable sin duda recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera pasando por Hamstreet.

Gran servicio y encantador dueño amable. Conocí a mi jefe para un café y el dueño, servicio de café y resultó una experiencia mucho mejor que la situación podría haber sido! ! La cafetería está en el pintoresco pueblo de Hamstreet cerca de Ashford y después de un largo día conduciendo alrededor de Kent y de East Sussex hacia atrás y hacia delante esta fue una parada muy bienvenido. Yo definitivamente volveré de nuevo.

Needed to meet a work colleague in the area so popped in to refuel and to get my mail.Nothing was to much and free wifi and an offer to plug my laptop in.Very nice and friendly place and the coffee and cake was fantastic.Lots of people popping in to donate advent calendars that the owner was giving to a local food bank.Such a kind gesture and when speaking to her she restored my faith in the human race.It's was like a centre of the community venue.Lovely and very kind topped off with a great little coffee shop.Will visit again when I am in the area Thank you

I really liked this cafe when I first moved to the village but since they introduced a train set and children's books I love it! Very child friendly, good food and coffee. I've eaten excellent quiche, baguette and panini here and the chutney with the ploughman's is gorgeous. We ate here last week and our 2 year old was uninterested in eating so the lovely lady working there spent ten minutes playing trains with him while we got to eat our lunch - amazing! Talk about service! It's worth noting that there isn't a baby changing station due to a lack of space, though I'm sure they'd provide one if it were possible. They also can't take cards, but there is a cashpoint in the shop across the road.Overall a huge asset to our village!

Nicola and her staff were sooooo lovely! My family could not be more diverse in age and eating habits and yet The Cosy Kettle catered for all of us.A lovely pre - arranged 80th Birthday afternoon tea; great service with a smile and an abundance of cream & jam. What more could you ask for?

Popped into the Cosy Kettle for lunch with a friend. Greeted by smiling friendly staff who took our order (despite the little ones taking ages to decide what they would like). The cold were even brought over to our table for us which is a nice touch as they are right there in the fridge when you order so they could ask you to take them with you.The food was served quickly and was really well presented. It also tasted really lovely, and we left enough room to choose a piece of cake (back to the deliberations as there was such a good selection to choose from).Milk (for the kids) is served in gorgeous little milk bottles, things like this just give it that 'extra touch'.I would highly recommend going to the Cosy Kettle and I will definitely be back again.

Took my girls in as a treat. They loved it. Friendly staff, great choice of cakes!!Will be back soon.

Went for lunch with my niece food was great and staff friendly and helpful will definitely go a again x

Absolutely lovely coffee shop that I regularly visit. The staff are lovely and the service second to none. The food is always prepared freshly, as is the coffee and it's fabulous as it's almost on my doorstep. The atmosphere is vibrant with a good circle of regulars proving its reputation and popularity.

My fav coffee shop ! we often pop in for a coffee and cake as its a lovely place to relax .The White hot chocolate is a must ! My boys love the cakes and chocolate brownies .I've been in for just a coffee , lunch and afternoon tea and all Highly recommended .friendly staff/ gorgeous coffee shop

Gorgeous place that we frequently visit, whether it be for an after school treat, or a lovely lunch. Plenty of hot and cold choices to choose from, and super staff. Highly recommend ☕️ X

Came here with my partner for a light lunch on our way to Rye. The food was fabulous and very good value and the two members of staff were polite and friendly. I would say the service is a little slow but as we weren't in a hurry, this wasn't an issue. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

I found The Cosy Kettle through TripAdvisor reviews when looking for somewhere for a light lunch en route to Rye. My partner and I enjoyed the homemade quiche, and we were tempted by the brownies and rocky road for dessert. A measure of a good cafe is the standard of the tea - the pots were large but served with sufficient teabags to make several cups of strong tea - perfect! The Cosy Kettle is obviously much used by locals, but we were welcomed and looked after, it was Bank Holiday and so the two staff were kept very busy - but you only had to ask and they'd be right with you. The place is light and airy with a pleasant atmosphere - I would heartily recommend a visit if you are ever in the area.

Been here a few times and timing is the key, coffee or tea is always fine but lunch is a lottery. We ordered, and paid for, root vegetable soup today, only to be told 5 minutes later that there wasn't any left. The alternatives were awful. They also brought the wrong tea. Nice people but caters mainly for the local regulars.

I went here for lunch with my mum the other week and the food was absolutely lovely! I had a toasted sandwich which came with a salad on the side and a slice of cake afterwards! (both were very good sizes!) The coffee was also lovely. All very reasonably priced and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Lovely atmosphere will definitely be returning. Thank you

This place was recommended to us so we thought we'd give it a try. The menu was limited, as we expected, but some nice offerings and when it arrived it was beautifully presented. Also the coffee was delicious, always a worry! A wide range of cakes to choose from and they were so nice we took a couple of slices home with us :) Clean and pleasant, good food, lovely friendly staff. Just lacked a special touch maybe? Perhaps a proper table cloth would add to the ambience :)

Such a lovely setting and friendly welcoming staff, family friendly and great value for money.... From a cup of something warm to a full cream tea this place can not be faulted

This has been a really good find. Excellent food, staff and clean. Have been a few times now and always been greeted with a nice happy member of staff. The food has always been of a high standard and quickly brought to us. Will definitely keep returning. Child friendly as well.

Had just expected to meet up with some friends for a coffee but we were very quickly tempted by lunch choices and cakes available. Not a massive menu but still had trouble deciding as all looked so good. The cakes were amazing and to top it all the service was first class. A lovely welcoming atmosphere and will definitely be going back.

We really liked this little Cafe which was quite upmarket and very comfortable. We didn't have much to eat but what we did have was excellent and I would certainly go out of my way to return. Staff were great and very attentive. Food was all fresh and really nicely presented. They have taken great care to provide a quaint environment and it was a relaxing and very enjoyable chill-out experience. We will be going back.

On a quiet Sunday, rainy ... what's there to do? Well - go to the Cosy Kettle!You feel warmed as soon as you step inside. Clean looking place, without feeling cold. Lovely people helping out and all the time to sit, talk and sip tea.

My wife, daughter and I were looking for somewhere for lunch. My daughter suggested the Cosy Kettle as she had been several times before. I, initially, was not too keen as I fancied something substantial for lunch rather than light bites in a coffee shop. How wrong was I?! We were warmly welcomed by Nicola and had a very tasty drink to start. My coffee was excellent and the tea and hot chocolate also hit the spot for the girls. I had a chicken and pesto panini, my wife a mozzarella and tomato panini and my daughter a vegetable quiche. They came with a delicious salad and creamy coleslaw and were suitably substantial for Mr. Fatboy Slim! The whole experience was a delight and I certainly look forward to a return visit to the Cosy Kettle.

We stopped by the Cosy Kettle on the way back from the Garden centre for lunch, from the outside it appeared uninspiring but once inside it is a nicely furnished coffee shop with local photography and art for sale on the walls.I had a coffee and panini both of which were good and very reasonably priced, would have liked to try a cake too, but didn't want to be too greedy ;-)!

The cosy kettle has it all... from the moment I walked in to a warm welcome, the fantastic coffee, amazing range of home baked cakes as well as the wide choice of lunches.I live locally, and consider myself very lucky to have a place such as this on my doorstep.My kids love it, they do child size lunches and drinks, have colouring and activities available, and seem to actually enjoy having kids in - as opposed to some places where you feel awkward for inviting your kids to lunch with you....What more can I say... don't pass this one by. I recommend the Red Velvet cake!!

Fantastic cakes, coffee, lunches and cream teas. Friendly welcome from Erin and Nicola, also having colouring for the kids so you can enjoy your coffee. Give it a go.

Just popped in for a coffee with friends on route elsewhere. The food the the customers were munching looked great and I successfully avoided the huge cake selection, a struggle but we were having lunch a few villages away... I'm mentioning this place as it looks a good lunch stop for folk doing Kent walks around Ashford/Hamstreet.

This Coffee shop has Not Long been open It is very Nice the food is fresh & is simple so no long waits,, & the Hot chocolates & cakes are lovely,, we only live in the next Village I wish we had a shop like this in our Village well worth a visit, maybe when your on your way to the coast,,
