Very lovely and welcoming restaurant! It is not a huge place so you feel well looked after, not in a sea of other people like in some places. You can heat yourself speak and the atmosphere is very nice. The food was fantastic! Highly recommend visiting, we are looking forward to going back and trying other options! We were recommended and now we will pass on the recommendations because it really was lovely food.

Were staying nearby for a weekend for my partners birthday and came here for dinner. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant is spacious and seems popular to families as well as couples. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a lovely meal here while meeting old friends nearby. We had the burgers, lamb, fish and chips (substituted the chips for mash), prawns and scotch eggs/soup to start. The burgers were absolutely perfect, tasty, flavourful and well garnished, and reports from our dinner partners was that the fish was the best they'd had on their visit (don't live in UK). The staff were wonderful. Polite, attentive, friendly, and accommodating, - opening a window for us as it got quite warm. Everything was perfect and It was a lovely experience. I wish we were local to go back! Thank you for a lovely evening :)

Paul, Julie and their team are impeccable. And that's before trying the food! Make sure you put on your comfy trousers because you won't be able to avoid having three courses once you taste their menu. The steak is my favourite plate but everything is delicious. Their milkshakes are an absolute must and their scotch egg is the best thing since sliced bread! Plentiful good drink options. There's roadside parking just outside and worth the short journey from Canterbury if you're visiting the city.

Had another wonderful meal at The Dairy this weekend. I had the steak as did my husband, and this is one of the only places we can choose the steak and know it will always be good. You do not get, nor do you need a steak knife, the meat is so tender, an ordinary knife cuts through it like butter. The flavour is beautiful and I have medium rare and it is always perfectly cooked, just pink in the middle. The service from Julie the owner, and the other ladies is brilliant. We can't wait to go back again soon.

Stumbled across this place by accident, what a fantastic restaurant, would highly recommend it…from a fussy eater, food absolutely fantastic and everything is homemade, the owner was also the chef too and boy you would not be disappointed with his food, best homemade gypsy tart ever on the dessert menu! All hot courses came out steaming! front of house ran by his wife and the waiting staff made you feel very welcome and felt like you are part of a family, definitely will be returning!!

Wow From the moment we stepped in, we had a wonderful experience. It had been beautifully decorated with plenty of nods to the building's previous use as a dairy. The service was brilliant - friendly and attentive without being pushy. The burgers are top notch. Our one regret is that we didn't have room for the delicious looking puddings - we will have to come back and try them next time.

The tables were actually more than 2 meters apart. I can't say how much Julie and the team made such an effort to make everyone feel safe. Please, do not be afraid to go for a meal or even a drink, you will be more than safe. Support this wonderful restaurant, the staff and our village.

We would like to share a short story with you. 30 years ago, yesterday , we had our wedding reception with Julie and Paul in this restaurant (which was then called Martins). A fantastic day and a fantastic meal made all the more special with the attention paid by Julie and staff.Fast forward to now and The Dairy was our obvious choice for an anniversary meal. So with lockdown we can’t eat in but have just enjoyed a wonderful takeaway. How many places like this exist? A family run business that has been around for (more than) 30 years and still provides fantastic food and service. Bravo Julie, Paul and family! Thank you very much and here’s to many more enjoyable meals.

Visited her for valentines, lovely restaurant and interior. The best calamari we’ve ever had!! And the gypsy tart was delicious. Only thing which tainted my partners meal is that he ordered steak and assumed there would be some type of sauce, when it showed up with no sauce he asked for peppercorn to be told that they can’t make it now and if he wanted it he needed to ask for it when he ordered... but they didn’t offer it when he ordered/there was no mention of it on the menu? Aside from that it was a lovely meal.

The Dairy is my favourite restaurant. Incredible food (highly recommend the burger, and don't even get me started on the whopping giant profiterole), mind blowing milkshakes and super friendly staff to top it off. Beautiful interior decor that plays on 'The Dairy' theme: namely the milk churn bar stools and milk churn milk/cream jugs! You must visit just to see how adorable they are! They really love a theme here, with even the bill being presented with milk bottle sweets. It's no surprise really that the milkshakes are the very best I've ever tried! They change their star flavour every month so make sure you visit in time to try the latest - October's flavour is Toffee Apple and it is scrumptious.

Celebrating with our children following exam results, The Dairy was just right for the occasion with it's charming decor and quirky touches (milk churn bar stools, salt and pepper pots) The menu is satisfying and most delicious with generous portions. It would have been nice to have a choice of vegetarian main course, although the ratatouille was saucy and beautifully cooked.

i can not praise this restaurant enough. The food this evening was fantastic (thanks Chef) the staff outstanding and the owner just a pleasure to talk to. Service with the biggest smile and a genuine warm welcome. Our 2nd visit and certainly not our last - we are on a mission to get as many of our friends and family here to enjoy this amazing place and I am grateful for the other reviews here for getting us to try The Dairy in the first place. Do not miss out - please go there soon.

I would have to highly recommend this place, starters range is super and the food even more impressive. The mains we even more delightful and the milkshake - OMG - absolutely brilliant and cost was great too. under £35 for 2 people both starters, mains and a drink: you have to go here.

I had the distinct pleasure of visiting this gorgeous little restaurant nestled in the village of Boughton, just off the A2 between Canterbury and the M2, for a Fathers Day treat courtesy of my daughter and son-in-law! The restaurant itself is neat, fresh and very clean with a good standard of dining furniture to go with it. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly, courteous and topped off with great service! The menu is not enormous but who needs a directory when the dishes on offer are guaranteed to please almost all tastes. Orders were promptly dealt with and food arrived not too long afterwards - all home-prepared and not a microwave in sight - and every mouthful tasted delightful!

Struggling to find somewhere for fathers day for a group of five adults and three small children , we stumbled upon this restaurant. What a great experience we have all had. The restaurant..which is fairly small..had a number of groups of families similar to ourselves. The waitresses were friendly and welcoming. The food...wow! Between us we had steak (melted in the mouth) fish and chips and a steak burger. Desserts consisted of cheeseboard, sticky toffee pudding, giant prifiterole and a chocolate, pecan dish. All the meals were beautifully presented and generous portions. We eat out fairly regularly and have to say the food and service here are outstanding. This really is a hidden gem. Thank you to the lovely front of house staff and the chef and kitchen staff. Superb !

We are regulars to The Dairy and with good reason. We have always had excellent experiences here, whether that is a full meal, a few snacks and sides, or just a milkshake.

Booked tonight to try the new menu at The Dairy. We were not disappointed. Both my husband and I both ordered the new dishes on offer. Well that was apart for the gypsy tart which my husband will not deviate from! We both agreed the food was, as always, excellent. The service is very relaxed whilst remaining professional. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, varied menu, something for everyone. We would defiantly recommend a visit to anyone.

We came for lunch to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary.. I’m sure at 23 years you have to celebrate with the best scotch egg ever.. can not fault the food here and it’s so friendly too. The girls shared a starter so they would have room for pudding.. gypsy tart.. obviously.. and a milkshake.. as usual, neither disappointed and we all left full and happy. New menu coming on Saturday.. well that’s good enough reason to be back soon

Another great evening at The Dairy. We were having dinner with friends whose dietary requirements are not easy. However they both had no problems with the offers on the menu and found dishes to suite their tastes. Again all the food was wonderfully fresh and cooked to perfection, the service faultless. Having eaten in restaurants around the world cannot recommend The Dairy enough.

We called in on the Dairy without a reservation. Within moments they said they had a table- although the main dining area appeared to be busy. We were given a table for 4 which was reset for the 2 of us providing more than enough room for our food, drinks and water which arrived without request.

First visit and first class. From the moment we set foot into the restaurant we were made to feel welcome with the team even joining in with our banter - something that I always enjoy as it makes you feel relaxed. They were all very attentive in particular to one of our party who had some dietary requirements. Food was excellent - the deep fried brie just awesome and the Maltesers Bunny Milkshake highly recommended (as a pudding). Our party of 4 were full of praise and will certainly be returning. Its always nice when you try somewhere on the back of Trip Advisor reviews and it works wonderfully. Thanks to all the team for making our night extremely enjoyable

Hemos oído este nuevo restaurante había abierto. Me encanta el Jittermugs en Faversham de todos modos. Así que cuando oí hablar del restaurante estaban abriendo en el Chimney chico era sólo un caso de cómo pronto podríamos conseguir allí. Teníamos el almuerzo del domingo, que era fabuloso. Gran cena de asado, servicio encantador y no me puedo quejar. Volveremos.

This is NOT a review about quality of food. Have eaten here a few times and the standard is usually high. I don’t know if they have new owners but the menu choices now are VERY INFLEXIBLE. One of our party of three only wanted a small breakfast. IE One piece of bacon, one egg etc. All your items on the main menu are TWO of everything. Your offer of a 4 or 5 item breakfasts are nonsense as it’s two of everything. You lost sales today due to your inflexibility. Tried to add 1 slice of bacon to some egg on toast but told its £2.15. Because you only sell bacon in 2’s !! In my opinion you are excluding some diners with your menu policy. Be interesting to see if you listen and learn. Are the owners not aware in this day and age ALL trade is vital. The customer is king but You refused to sell us a small breakfast ??
