The Langhorne in Shepway

This has got to be one of the best roast I’ve ever had! The portions were so generous, and it tasted amazing! The staff were really friendly and on hand if we needed anything. And all for such a reasonable price! Such an enjoyable experience - we’ll definitely be back!

A very tasty roast dinner. A quirky dining experience with attentive staff. We liked the Jazz music playing. They haven’t been open long at the time of writing this review. Why not give it a go? Worth giving them a chance. The only thing we didn’t quite understand was the added supplement price. Otherwise we had enjoyable experience.

This is a great place for Sunday lunch. The decor is lovely, the service is prompt and friendly and the food is just fantastic. Very generous portions and beautifully cooked. Highly recommended.

Had a great Sunday roast with the family this past week, everything cooked perfectly and nice portion size. Very tasty and not too pricy, great service too. Will definitely be back in the future.

Has got to be the best Sunday roast in Kent. Food is out of this world. So tasty and all home made. Service is excellent can’t fault at all

Absolutely appalling customer service . Booked a 6pm Sunday lunch today ,last available seating before close at 7pm . Arrived at 5.45 to be informed by the restaurant manager there was no food left. I thought he was joking but he repeated there was no food left and I didn’t turn up at 4pm . Totally bemused I said why would I be here at 4 pm for a 6pm reservation. His cavalier attitude was shocking . I had called that afternoon and my booking was for 6pm . If there was an error it was due to whoever took the booking and not my mistake . He was completely indifferent and showed absolutely no concern my reservation was not honoured , he asserted there was no food left and that was it. I said this was totally unacceptable. He then said he would go ask the chef . Whilst there may have been no Sunday lunch left I’m sure there would have been something on offer to eat . It was now 6pm and I had limited choices available. I have never been in this situation before thankfully . I had assumed they had taken my phone number when booking as is the usual Practice when numbers are taken automatically at booking they could then have called to clarify if they had indeed thought my reservation was at 4pm . As far as he was concerned the matter was beyond debate but then said he would talk to the chef . The bar manager was excellent and even offered me a drink whilst I waited to see what the manager could do , he showed concern he was apologetic and his thoughtful attitude was polar opposite to the restaurant manager . Unsurprisingly the restaurant manager returned stating there was “nothing he could do “.He made no attempt to offer any resolution. All I received was a lustre apology and made to feel it was my fault . Totally unacceptable. His total indifference was certainly not the way to engage with customers. The bar manager once again tried to help by offering suggestion of where I could go to try find another restaurant to have something to eat . As a disabled pensioner I had limited options walking around rainy folkstone looking for a restaurant at 6pm on a Sunday . There may be fabulous reviews on the food served ( whenever you’re lucky enough to have access to the menu) but the lack of high quality customer service falls way way below acceptable standard .

Excellent food- such good quality- so impressed and amazing value. Service was great and would definitely recommend. Worth trying to work out how to get in!

Went with friends to celebrate my birthday, recommended by a friend. We Were not disappointed, i have to say ut was tte best roast i have had, everything cooked to perfection, what a hidden gem. 5 stars from us all.

This is definitely an undiscovered gem. We had seen an advert that they were starting up the Sunday roasts in the restaurant . Managed to get a table for the very first sitting. Restaurant decor is lovely, not what you would expect walking in from outside. We decided on having the 3 courses as we were going to be out all day. My partner had the soup of the day, Pea and mint with sourdough, and I had the scotch egg with caramelised apple. For main, we had roast pork, and I had half a chicken with homemade bread sauce. Unfortunately, neither of us managed a dessert as we were both full. I'm certain we will be back. Don't miss out on this little undiscovered gem

Well, what can I say! Truly beautiful food, lovely downstairs restaurant location with a fine ambience. Roast dinners to die for; it's like a party in your mouth! All served by fun-size chef Jack - can't rate this place highly enough!

Cracking Sunday lunch at incredible value. Tons of taste in all the elements, Yorkshire puds a particular highlight. Relaxed vibe. A hidden gem.

Absolutely delicious! Lovely service. Would certainly eat there again. Hidden location under a bar a bit at odds with the fine dining and welcome of the restaurant.

Upstairs looked very kitch so we were not so sure! Downstairs….What a surprise! Amazing food, lovely clever waitress and good chef … who seem to enjoy their job! The place is pretty disorganised! But that’s the charm of it! Who says small local restaurants should be run like multinationals! Very underrated and cool. Will try the Sunday roast soon!

It was the best Sunday roast we have ever had. The service was really friendly and professional. We will definitely go back and would recommend it.

Had an excellent meal here for a birthday celebration. Shared small plates, followed by dessert and cheese board. You have to enter via the Skuba bar, but the restaurant is pleasant, the service is great and the chef produces superb food.

I didn't know this place existed only because of Facebook it's a hidden gem I booked via Facebook was a large booking for 9 we all had roast dinner and pudding it was cooked beautifully the beef was medium not chewy at all the chicken was on the bone but slide straight off homemade everything the horseradish was lovely was all cooked with love and care the prices was just right affordable highly recommend will definitely return for future bookings

Went for sunday. Lunch huge portions of proper home made food great vegetables Yorkshire pudding very fair prices it is entered through the scuba bar which puts some people off it shouldn’t for those looking for a really proper Sunday lunch this place is unbeatable

Great Sunday roast, great service and all-round start to our holiday! Thank you to all the staff for making us so welcome!

A charming bar and bistro with a sunny garden. Great atmosphere! Perfect for unwinding.

The food was outstanding my husband had the scotch egg followed by cod and he absolutely loved them both. I had the chicken followed by burata. As I did not want the cheese sauce with my chicken the chef very kindly made me an amazing white wine and cream sauce. Oh my goodness such delightful and delicious food. We will be back.

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. First, when we turned up the staff looked confused about a restaurant booking. Second, we were given one menu between two of us because no others were available. Third, it was the wrong menu. When the correct menu came there was nothing that one of us wanted as the fish dishes had seafood (one of us has a serious allergy) and the veg dishes did not look good.We agreed to mix a menu from the skuba bar (the cheaper joint upstairs) and the restaurant and were told we could stay in the restaurant. We were the told we could not say in the restaurant. Fourth, we went upstairs to find out what we had ordered from the skuba bar was not being served. So we chose something else that was very very slow to arrive so we left. A complete car crash not due the staff member but, we suspect, due to the management. Careers advice to our waiter, try and get a job somewhere else.

My wife & I had a fantastic meal here on Saturday evening (6th May) We had read about Jack the chef's talent & they weren't wrong. The food was absolutely beautiful, so much so that I had to try an extra small plate main course. This restaurant should be rated at a far higher position but this is all down to the amount of reviews an establishment receives. Book a table on a Friday or Saturday night as it has limited opening days. You will be amazed. Can't wait until we return to Folkestone to experience such pleasure. Service was 1st class - Prices were very reasonable.

Best Sunday roast we’ve had in a long time! We decided not to order a starter and go straight to the main course (thank goodness as there was so much food) and we ordered the lamb which was served lovely and pink! The food was piping hot and all locally sourced - the cauliflower cheese was so tasty, the veg was cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puds were delicious (and massive). As it was very quiet the chef/owner Jack took the time to chat with us and his colleague who was looking after us was so friendly and very attentive - nothing was too much trouble! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be visiting again!

Sunday lunch for 3 people. Absolutely lovely. All cooked well, and tasted fresh.

Great Sunday lunch. Fabulous creative chef. Thoroughly recommend. Can’t wait to try their small plates menu on Friday and Saturday evenings

Love love love this place for Sunday lunch. My fiancé Jeff and I keep coming back. It’s a tiny oasis, quality product, well cooked, generous portion, cauliflower cheese is to tie for! Worth every penny. Roast lamb for me every time and one day I won’t eat it all so I can enjoy the deserts too but it’s hard to stop as it tastes so good! Thank you for all your efforts. We love it xx

This was our first visit and we were very impressed with service by Jess and her daughter. Food was amazing and excellent value for money. Will definitely be back soon

Really good, imaginatively presented food, with a chef who goes over and beyond. The staff are friendly and professional and it is a real pleasure to visit.

Sunday lunch was perfect. Waitress Jess and her daughter were attentive and provided excellent service. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend for Sunday lunch.

The service we received was lacklustre. Our server was unsure of what was on the menu and it seemed that everything was running late. The restaurant did not open on time. Our cold starters arrived after forty five minutes , the main courses appeared one...

Interesting concept of going through the Scuba bar to the restaurant! But I have to say what a lovely little restaurant. We were looked after and felt very special as we were the only diners there! The food was absolutely amazing. Although it says the...

Now here's a " hidden jem", access is through the lively Skuba bar and downstairs to a totally different experience. Small and intimate, not been running for long in it's current form but well worth a visit. Every dish was delicious and the "sharing plate" menu means that you can try a variety of different items without running up a huge bill. The service was lovely and we had one of the best tasting meals we've had in quite some time.

Oh my goodness! What a marvellous meal I had with with my mum and friend for Sunday lunch. We all walked down the stairs and went WOW! The decor is amazing, such beautiful colours, soft music, candles, comfortable and great atmosphere x. Our Sunday lunch,...

Really delicious food - the produce sings here and you can taste the quality. The menu says small plates but they are very generous, we had six dishes between two and couldn't finish! Stand out dishes were the venison, skate wing and scallops. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

1st time eating here, and I should have read the review from the owner, what a plonker I am walking up and down the road a few times until I phoned up felt a fool , inside the scuba the man said and down stairs err . Anyway the starters were to die for , the home cooked Sunday roast beef dinner was probably one of the best I've eaten in a very long time the restaurant was full and I am one of those with very good hearing and all I could hear was how amazing the food was from every table, the chef definitely knows how to cook and his presentation of his food on the plate made you just want to eat the whole lot, I highly recommend eating here and I will definitely be eating during the week as well as Sundays

The food was absolutely amazing we had the chicken which was perfectly seasoned and very juicy, all accompaniments were also very well cooked (even the last minute changes we requested) portion size was incredible for the price my pictures don’t do the portion size justice...

By far the best roast dinner in Folkestone. Absolutely delightful!! I didnt realise they did food but Im glad I found out!!!!! Oh my it really was special!! Would 100% recommend this roast dinner!! Staff were attentive and friendly!

7 of us visited for Sunday roast. Lucas welcomed us and looked after us all afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble. The chef at one point even came out of the kitchen to make us delicious espresso martinis. The roast itself was of a very...

After seeing an advert for this restaurant for Sunday lunch, my daughter and I decided to book a table. We are so happy that we did as the food and service were first class. We were warmly greeted by Lucas who was extremely attentive and...

I highly recommend the food at the Langhorne! Everything is beautifully cooked with such attention to detail. We had the small plate menu and it was very filling with a great choice of options to select from. I am also a coeliac and felt comfortable...
