The Restaurant MS in Shepway

Friendly and attentive staff. Dealt with my friend’s allergy really well making changes as needed. Food very tasty.

Nothing short of outstanding, warm and attentive staff coupled with amazing food. Well worth the journey and will definitely return.

The food was amazingly good. The canapés were so nice. We had the lamb and the braised pork cheeks both excellent. And the chocolate dessert was just as good. Anyone who likes fine dining should check this place out. Mark gave us some wonderful food and one to one service. Will definitely return in the new year.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit. Exquisite fresh flavours Very enjoyable.

Mark worked very hard front of house,bringing out the food....the food which he'd cooked!! The food was to probably the highest standards I've had ( beating Michelin star restaurants I've been to elsewhere). Money / cost doesn't cone into the equation... You can't put a price on the love in the making and preparation of subliminal food! Thank you

What a gem! Incredibly well thought out menu, with explanations of the dishes straight from the horses mouth. Particularly loved the Markmite butter. Gorgeous Pot au feu of chicken. Great service, wonderful atmosphere, and really excellent cooking from Mark Sargeant. Bravo, 👏 highly recommend.

Came here for my mums birthday on Friday, must admit the service was inevitable. The wine selection was second to none and most of the food was delicious. I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the chicken main, underwhelming and dry, despite being encouraged to have that over the porchetta which, after trying I thought was the much tastier main. However the seafood lasagne is one of the most beautiful tbh things I have ever eaten. Dessert was the panna cotta and the textures for me were all off. However I will be coming back to MS because I can't get enough of that seafood lasagne. Thanks for a great night

To say this perfect evening spent at restaurant MS was solely down to the delicious food would be unjust. As soon as we were welcomed at the door by Chef we knew it was going to be an experience to treasure. My wife echoes a previous review in saying the seafood lasagne was the tastiest they had ever eaten. I would go further and say everything was amazing. This is a restaurant that is filled with enthusiasm and food passion. They go that little bit further than the rest and we will be back very soon!

Had a wonderful lunch today. Amazing food, delicious flavours, and excellent service. We can't wait to return to try the tasting menu 😋

What a wonderful restaurant this is. Excellent food good wine and superb service. The food was of the highest quality and exceptionally well prepared

I dined with partner on 12th October. Everything has been said about this place is absolutely true. Amazing food. Wonderful dining theatre. I first had the Koffmam trotter in 1980 at Tante Claire. Again twice in 1998 at Rhodes City. This dish was lovingly recreated. MS has worked with the greats and is in my opinion one of them. He takes a personal interest in each diner and makes you feel he is only cooking for you. I have eaten at great restaurants all over the world but this one stands out as probably the best. It has everything you could wish for. No extra side dishes to worry about. Huge portions. Everything on one plate all seasoned. I will definitely return. The cost nowhere near reflects the quality, ambience and almost surreal experience. Thankyou so much Mark you and your staff are amazing. I will be following your success. Nobody could ever be disappointed in this place.

We went for dinner for our anniversary and had the most fabulous meal. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming and make you feel so at home. The food was absolutely fantastic. The seafood lasagne was definitely one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten! And the value for money is ace. We had the 3 course dinner but you also get brought 3 extra small plates! We had to take our last course home on a box. Mark came and chatted to every table. The whole evening was great. We will definitely be back soon.

This restaurant is perfect for any occasion! Delicious lunch, excellent service. Love that Mark gives that personal touch and attends each table during service. Each menu gives great value for money. Menus change regularly. Worth the long drive, will be returning!

Really lovely experience, good for a special night out. Very high standard of cuisine and staff that pay a lot of attention. I'd definitely come here again.

Where do I start! The most friendly welcome, a cute little bar area for pre dinner drinks, and then an outstanding 3 course dinner served by a brilliant waiter Amit. The flavor’s in the food were exceptional and the portions were really decent! Mark Sergeant was very present throughout the evening, bringing out some of the dishes, asking us our thoughts, and making us laugh. What was really refreshing was not being kicked off your table 2 hrs after arriving. In fact, we were still eating at gone 10pm having arrived at 19:30! There were perfect gaps in between each course. This really is a little gem of a restaurant where they have got everything spot on. Tierney who was serving up fabulous drinks was also incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us transport back to the station. Thank you! We will definitely be back 😊

Superb place to eat, really tasty food, well worth checking out.

We had an incredible lunch experience at The Restaurant MS, not once but twice on Sunday! Both times, we enjoyed their Sunday Special menu, which is currently priced at just £38.50 per person. It includes 5 fantastic courses, and each one was absolutely exceptional. The quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere made it such a memorable experience. It's hard to believe you can enjoy such a high-level dining for around £50-60 per person. Incredible value for money! We'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an outstanding meal in Kent.

Another fabulous evening at this wonderful restaurant. Sarges seafood supper was absolutely sublime. We enjoyed every single mouthful.of the 8 course menu and we found the wine paring really complemented each dish perfectly.too. Mark is such an inventive and talented chef and his staff are friendly, and professional. We were made to feel ‘special’ Thank you all for a wonderful experience 😘. Looking forward to returning soon!

Absolutely perfect! Service was professional but casual , knowledgeable and so friendly almost comedic ! The food was beyond expectations, the tasting menu exquisite although I had no room for cheese! Amazing value including the wine . I cannot wait to drive the three hour journey again!

I can’t talk more highly of Marks cooking and the excellent style and relaxed polite efficient but above all friendly service you get at his Restaurant MS. Sargey’s seafood lasagne starter has such an excellent foam and sauce, it is sublime and my current favourite. I had the aged steak and parmigiano frites this time, and the reduction Madeira jus is such a great flavour. All such good value too for the fantastic quality

A wonderful Sunday lunch. The menu was varied and cooked to perfection. Front of house couldn't do enough to accommodate us and our 3 year old son. We will definitely be back

Simply Fantastic!!! We live 7 years in the UK. Today, we had the best meal we EVER had in these seven years. Hat of to chef Sarge and his team !!!

For the first time in this city 🌆 and this is where they got two hours after arrival. This is the most attentive and courteous staff in the whole of Great Britain, the cuisine, presentation and atmosphere are at a height!) inspiration, happy visitors 🥰🙏

Great food! And deserts are great!

Just enjoyed whst I woukd call a “banging” lunch. Opted for the 7 course lunch menu which started off with what I can only describe as amazing honey focaccia with Markmite whipped butter. Followed by a couple of very tasty little tartlets. Foie gras , seafood lasagne, rump of lamb. All really tasty and rich. Service was great even though they were missing a couple of staff. Mr Sargent served us himself and had some banter with us. Relaxed atmosphere and nice decor. Highly recommend it. Well done and thanks to Mark and his team

Wowzer - Mark, Jack, Jack and Amir are the dream team. A 6 course meal watching the chefs cook was insane. These young chefs cooking with Mark Sargent were outstanding. Amir the maitre d was exceptional and made this dinner and show. 5 STAR Exquisite DINING. Thank you xx

Stunning meal here at the weekend. Michelin star quality cooking and service. Really good value for money too. Have the pig trotter - it’s excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

Great food & wine - had the tasting menu with flight of wines - absolute heaven! Staff were a joy & so attentive Will frequent this establishment it’s worth it! 😁😎

Been here several times and always had superb food and service. Today lunch was incredible. Food was sensational, service with Amed was excellent. Really relaxed atmosphere generated by Mark’s enthusiasm and great personality.

What a great find this place was. Mark Sargeant certainly is a master of his trade. We had exquisite dishes as part of the tasting menu, the wine was very good and priced fairly I thought. The service was attentive, kind and informative. Mark himself explained several dishes at the table which I genuinely appreciated. He was very gracious and down to earth. We had lunch on a very quiet Wednesday in early August but the food was so good we were fully absorbed. Portion sizes for a tasting menu are generous so go in hungry. Thanks for a lovely lunch.

We have dined in Folkestone and the South East for many years and never before found this level of epicurean delight. We started with the new addition to the starter menu Prawn Cocktail, but believe me its as you have never tasted it before! the tangy sauce was to die for and the sustainable caviar was a perfect finishing touch. Main courses were lamb and steak too simple a description for such delicious and well constructed dishes. The meat was perfection, the plate composition original and in perfect harmony. We both finished with Panna Cotta which was topped with what looked like baby grapes suffused with a delicious alcohol. The restaurant can possibly give a more detailed description. Overall although the service, the cooking, the presentation are exceptional its the amazing tastes that will grab you, an original mix of flavours and textures that are a treat, one that we will be experiencing again soon. Well done Mark and the front of house staff. Exceptional!

Chef Mark and staff were great, the food was even better! Highly recommend!!

We ate at Restaurant MS on 25th July , and had the most amazing meal . A ‘dining experience’ in every way, interesting and delicious food, and just the right amount of attention from our waiter, Ollie. We will be back !

This was the best meal I have ever experienced. Incredible flavours, textures, and atmosphere. We had the £35 pre fixe set meal and were blown away by the quality of everything. Thank you for a wonderful evening. 👨🏻‍🍳👌🍽️

My Bestest Brother from another Mother treated us to lunch at MS Brasserie. Everything was absolutely deliciously outstanding. Our waiter sharing exquisite detail about the menu & chef Mark explaining the abundance of love and creativity that goes into each dish derived from all local produce. A lunch fit for Kings & Queens. One of the best food lunches I’ve ever had. Special place set on the delightful Folkestone sea front. Thank you 🙏 so much for a wonderful afternoon Paul Briggs.

WOW!! After arriving, seeing the famous green awning and walking down the steps into the restaurant (somewhere I've wanted to dine for so long) we were greeted by a bubbly, happy, well presented and professional front-of-house lady and I knew instantly, we were in for a treat! The restaurant is spotless, modern, comfortable and stylish with some fascinating framed and signed photographs of everyone from our late Queen to Peter Doherty donning the walls. The menu is as skilled and unique as the man at the helm who created it, Mark Sargeant. Mark manages to produce the most amazing traditional French flavours with modern twists that I've never experienced ever before. Everything is well thought out, presented immaculately, but more importantly, the flavours and textures are spot on!! If you want to know some of the work involved to produce food at this level, just ask Mark to explain the how the Madeira sauce and the Pomme Mousseline is made to accompany the restaurant's most famous dish, your mind will be blown! Mark came out several times to explain the intricate courses, the produce and the history and method behind them, which was incredible. From the honey/rosemary focaccia with smoked cods roe, 'Markmite' butter and Wagyu beef dripping to the RMS trifle and coffees to finish, our expectations were over-achieved in every aspect of our visit. I will now dine there regularly, I just wish I was local so I could visit multiple time's a week. Oh, they also have an amazing old and rare single cask single malt Scotch whisky selection!

We visited for our anniversary and definitely was right choice. Food is fantastic, and kind of fresh. Every dish we had was also lovely decorated which gave it that final touch. Excellent wine list, and temperature of wine (white in this case) really was perfect which makes more enjoyable. Service kind and knowledgeable Warmly recommend 👌☺️

Just tried the taster menu today - our first visit. Absolutely spectacular food - both in taste and presentation. So pleased to have discovered this place - highly recommend.

Delicious food, delightful outstanding service and pretty affordable fixed price menu (especially given the quality!) Perfect for a special occasion. I’d recommend trying it purely for the ‘Markmite’ 😉

What a breath of fresh air! Wholly unpretentious, tasteful decor, fabulous service and excellent food. We were actually somewhat nervous as we don't typically dine at higher end restaurants but the ambiance was so relaxed and the staff so friendly we felt instantly comfortable and at ease. It was also a really nice touch to see Chef Mark walk around meet people and introduce the dishes. We had the Sunday lunch menu. The food was perfectly cooked, some great flavour combinations and superb value at £35 per person. Will definitely return to try the tasting menu. Pro tip: if you are a whisky drinker like me, give the 12yr old Yamazaki a try, not that many places stock it and it's a fabulous dram - you'll also earn brownie points with the bartender if you do!

Dear Mark, I am writing to convey our sincere appreciation for commemorating D-Day at your restaurant for LACA, the school food people. The event was not only a touching tribute to the historical significance of D-Day but also a culinary experience that surpassed all expectations. The food and service provided at your restaurant were truly outstanding, and it added an extra layer of excellence to the commemoration event. Your attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a memorable experience for all guests did not go unnoticed. From the exquisite dishes served to the impeccable service offered, everything was truly exceptional. Thank you for your generosity in hosting this event and for going above and beyond to make it a remarkable and unforgettable occasion. Your commitment to honouring our history while providing an exceptional dining experience is truly admirable, and I feel grateful to have been part of such a special event at your restaurant. With deep gratitude, James and the LACA team.

A truly outstanding restuarant. The service and quality of food was simply outstanding. The comments are not made lightly, rebooked for anniversary meal. My daughter"s comment - best food ever

We had the three course Father’s Day lunch and could not fault any of our choices. The standard of the food was 10/10. It’s up there with some of the best restaurants in Kent. The staff and ambience were excellent too.

AMAZING service especially from Mark. Outstanding value for the food and presentation.

Gem of a restaurant in Folkestone. Fabulous food, superb service in excellent environment, a real treat with a very affordable Sunday menu.

A really fantastic birthday meal. Food and service outstanding. My fourth dining experience and will be booking again!

Mark and his staff made us feel welcome ,great food, great service . Thank you ..

Just a fantastic place made very special by Mark and his team. The food is first class and the variety of options for lunch and evening blows you away. We’ve just had a 3 hour a la carte lunch and we’re already going back next week for an ‘express lunch!’ 2 courses and a drink for £18! Don’t tell everyone we want to make sure we can get in again!!!!!!!

Wonderful Sunday lunch , excellent food and service , top quality .

Amazing meal, amazing service and lovely cocktails too!

Great restaurant with all the lovely touches that you might expect from veteran chef MS - delicious food, great portions and all the bread, canapés and petite fours you could ever dream of inbetween. Service great. Thank you from me and the family. Bravo Mark & Team.

Lovely experience. Great food, good value. We sat outside for the lunch prixe menu. The bread was amazing with beef dripping, taramasalata and olive dips. Also loved the pre-desert Braeburn apple sorbet, foam and mint sugar. Altogether very filling, relaxed atmosphere while being well looked after. Will definitely return

MS Brasserie, nestled in the charming location of Folkestone, is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the restaurant's inviting ambiance captivates you, setting the stage for an evening of gastronomic delight. On a memorable evening, Friday, January 12th, 2024, I was surprised by my wife for my 50th birthday. Joined by my brother and his wife, we embarked on a culinary journey at MS Brasserie, a dining destination I had wanted to visit since its opening. The interior design of the restaurant exudes elegance and sophistication, providing the perfect backdrop for an exquisite dining experience. The attentive and welcoming staff further enhance the ambiance, ensuring that every guest feels valued and pampered. However, it is the culinary prowess of chef and owner Mark Sargeant that truly steals the show. Each dish served reflects a meticulous attention to detail and a passion for showcasing the finest ingredients. The menu boasts a harmonious blend of flavour’s, skilfully crafted to tantalise the taste buds and leave a lasting impression. From the first bite to the last, every dish exceeded expectations, elevating the dining experience to new heights. The combination of innovative flavours and impeccable presentation speaks volumes about the culinary mastery of Mark Sargeant. The MS Brasserie is more than just a restaurant; it is a culinary sanctuary where passion, creativity, and excellence converge to create memorable dining moments. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mark Sargeant and his team for their remarkable creation and look forward to returning soon.

Truly exceptional food in comfy elegant environment. Don't miss the exceptional chance of 5 courses for £35 and now an offer of Menu Express for £18 mid-week. Too good to miss and don't be intimidated if you have never had a 'fine dining' experience, it is very friendly here.

What a fantastic restaurant. Staff lovely, welcoming and professional. The food was amazing. The “taster” extras were gorgeous. Bearing in mind the quality and service the bill was extremely reasonable. Could not fault and will definitely be back.

I would give Restaurant MS six stars if I could. Not only is the food astronomically fantastic, and creative, and exciting, but everyone involved in the restaurant is delightful and genuinely interested in giving you as good an experience as possible. The best example of the art of dining that I have ever experienced. Do go here, you won't regret it.

We went for a genuinely memorable meal dining for the Sunday lunch menu. The price is staggeringly reasonable when viewed against the quality of the food/experience. The food was delicious, bold and well balanced. It was one of those rare meals that feels like a genuine experience. Staff were attentive throughout and clearly believed in the food and what they’re trying to do there. Excellent from start to finish and we will certainly be back soon. I would also add that when we mentioned my mother had Alzheimer’s and may struggle with elements of the menu. They handled it brilliantly and the chef actually made a special effort to make her food manageable, as well as beautiful, without drawing any attention to either her or other diners. They handled it brilliantly.

2nd visit and the food was yet again fantastic. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgable and also great with our two young boys. High quality food, executed with great decor and service. We look forward to coming again

I can never get through on the phone, they never return calls and I've tried to call in to book but the doors are always locked, I can't imagine how this place survives, I live around the corner and walk past most days, lights are always on, with full dinner service tables, but never one person in it. Odd

Lovely lunch at Restaurant MS. Food was exceptional, the service was spot on. The main man himself made a point of coming out a couple of times to each table and talked through a couple of the dishes. Well recommended, will go again soon, Thank you

Spectacularly good food served with real passion. All the dishes were excellent. The bouillabaisse starter was stand out awesome. Don’t miss out on this restaurant..

Amazing lunch. Quite faultless . V nice chef patron. Must go back

Lovely lunch, and really good value. Food was top notch and the staff were very attentive. Would highly recommend if you are in Folkestone

The food quality is outstanding. There's nothing quite like it in Folkestone. Service was excellent. We would highly recommend.

Super lunch. Absolutely great food and service. I would highly recommend that you try this restaurant. So pleased that Mark opened Restaurant MS, otherwise I would never have known what his own food was really like. For the quality of food this restaurant gives great value.

We were looking for a Sunday lunch venue, but not the usual carvery affair, & a friend mentioned Mark Sargeant’s newish restaurant in Folkestone. We knew Mark of old, from his Gordon Ramsay days thru to Rocksalt, so booked. What a wonderful surprise - although with his background it shouldn’t have been. We chose the prix fixe 5 course Sunday lunch menu: Amuse bouches arrived - a beautiful plate of four different little mouthfuls, including a chocolate macaron with fois gras & a sharp raspberry powder - sublime - delivered to us by chef patron Mark, who gave us fabulous descriptions! Starters - omelette Arnold Bennett, pulled beef brisket terrine - marvellous; Mains - leg of rabbit, & a bouillabaisse with cod cheeks - superb; Pre-desert - Apple compote with lemon sorbet & foam - beautiful palette cleanser; Desert - treacle tart (essentially) with clotted cream ice cream & morello cherries, & a “fromage blanc” (actually a really light cheesecake) with rhubarb. These are really brief descriptions of sublime food - & in no way does it justice. Our waiter Ollie was an enormous success - young, helpful, knowledgeable, & Mark was generous with his time, despite actually cooking in the kitchen (an unusual occurrence these days) he spoke to every diner, & served many of the dishes himself. This may not be everyone’s idea of Sunday lunch, but they really should get with the programme - this place is divine.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent food, very good portion sizes - you will not leave unsatisfied , and exceptional service. Very knowledgable staff , friendly and elegant. We will definitely make the trip to return , the detail and flavours and all the additional small touches - gorgeous petit fours we couldn’t manage to eat but did take away for later - make for a memorable meal. Oh and the bread to begin the meal would be worth visiting for just this Very reasonable for the quality and service.

We were gifted a Christmas voucher and decided to spend it on lunch. We tried the tasting menu and were blown away by the quality of food, execution and generous portion sizes. Being a pescatarian Mark offered to substitute a vegetarian dish for the sea bass from the main menu. Totally unexpected and really appreciated that. We also loved the decor, service and style of the restaurant. The only dish that we couldn't finish, was the last one with rhubarb, sorbet panna cotta dessert. It was just a bit too big and had a lot of different flavours within one dish. Something a lot smaller and with less going on would be welcome. We will definitely be coming back, perhaps for an evening meal.

Did we just become best friends… 😋 Seriously good food, the staff and Mark are a delight. See you again real soon, a very satisfied mum and dad on Mother’s Day.

Really rather fantastic. The decor, glassware, service, ambience and food were excellent. Mark came out often to serve the food and interact with his guests which was a really nice touch. You could see how passionate he was about his restaurant. I dined with a member of my family with a gluten sensitivity and they could not have been any more accommodating. She said the gluten free bread they provided was the best she had ever had. We had the set lunch menu which was fabulous. The Yorkshire pudding filled with onions was to die for ! We will be back and telling all of our friends!

Fantastic lunch matched with fantastic service couldn’t of been better every aspect was perfect

The food was superb, the service sublime and the atmosphere ideal. There is simply no better place to eat in Folkestone.

Had the amazing lunch menu today, been meaning to go here for ages. The braised beef pie with port sauce is absolutely top notch!

I am not sure where to start with my review as I have so much to say. Restaurantms has been on my bucket list for some time, but living in Bungay is not round the corner. However, the need became too great and it became a must visit. The whole experience was beyond any expectation. Mark himself was so kind, he invited me into his kitchen for a photo, he knew my name on arrival and when I handed him our gift, Baron Bigod cheese, which is made 100 metres from our house, he was genuinely grateful and obviously knew the cheese, straight away. We had the 5 course set menu which can only be described as sensational and it was such good value go money. The house red wine, was absolutely delicious, We were in good heaven. The time, passion, and thought that went into each dish was incredible. The whole meal was faultless. The staff, were all incredibly polite, attentive and passionate. For anyone who loves food, you must go to this restaurant . It is the best meal I have eaten to a long while. Thank you so much for making our day, so pleasurable and memorable. We will be returning as although you ticked my bucket list, it has gone back on the list again 😊

The sunday luch menu on arrival was limited and had far less choice than the example on the website. We were told the menu was decided at 11.00 on a Sunday but the website was never updated

Enjoyed a really delicious lunch with excellent wine accompaniment. The food is superb and beautifully presented; Mark and the team were very attentive and explained the dishes to us. This is a fantastic restaurant with a team who are passionate about delivering excellent food and a very enjoyable customer experience.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Folkestone. We love the food scene down here but this just blows everything else out of the water. We had the prix fixe menu which was phenomenal!!! Absolutely sublime. Mark and his team cannot do enough to make you feel welcome! The food is simply sensational. Every dish was to die for. Rich in taste. Elegant! We will be going back very soon to try other dishes. My favourites rofay were the rabbit and the pre desert was just perfect. That cucumber granita! Simple but perfection. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Fantastic lunch with an old friend who was celebrating a special birthday.The menu had quite a few changes from my last visit, as usual the food was excellent and the front of house team are only too happy to explain any dish in detail if you are unsure what to order. Mark made several visits to our table to ask if the food was okay, in particular the lamb dish which was new on the menu today. Will be back soon.

We have eaten at the Restaurant MS several times and it has always been excellent. Today we had a wonderful lunch, I started with artichoke soup, with mushrooms and a Parmesan crisp on top, followed by fish with a brown butter and shrimp sauce, followed by a lovely chocolate dessert. My husband started with boudin noir, had the same main and finished with a blancmange. He loved his food. As always the service was excellent and the snacks and pre dessert are delightful.

Chose this resturant because it had amazing reviews and we wanted ‘somewhere special’ for our night away in Folkestone. The service was great, just the right balance of attentiveness & attention to detail without being intrusive. We chose to go straight to the main course - BEEF WELLINGTON for 2. It was truly divine. A lovely touch was meeting the Chef who came to chat as he was concerned he would disappoint us with the wait for the main course. We loved hearing his back story and wish him every success with his latest venture. We loved everything and can’t wait to return.

Absolutely amazing food of the highest quality with great service. Mark is very personable and found time to have a chat. One of our favourite spots to eat in Folkestone. Throughly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing, fantastic atmosphere and very attentive staff, HIGHLY recommended

Food impeccable Ambience 1st class Service 2nd to none To have fine dining local is a joy Thank you we will return very soon

I had the most amazing meal! I have not had a meal with wine that good in a while. Matthew the manager, was engaging and very knowledgeable on wine and pairing. The restaurant is classy with an enjoyable atmosphere. Thank you to Matthew and the staff for making my last night in England a memorable one. Kitty

One of the best meals we have had in a long time. Great atmosphere and friendly professional staff made our evening. Thank you massoud

Absolutely amazing food. I can’t begin to describe the flavours, mind blowing. All the staff were friendly & welcoming. Lovely atmosphere.

Exceptional food and service and incredible value. This is my 3rd time visiting the restaurant, and I can't wait to visit again already!

First visit to The Restaurant MS and can’t wait to go back!!! The food, service and atmosphere were amazing. Marks hospitality and passion for what he does is 2nd to none. We were made to feel so welcome and couldn’t have asked for more.

This is my third visit, and once again Mark and his team have delivered an exquisite selection of food, cooked to perfection, using locally selected produce. I cannot recommend this new highlight to Folkestone enough. Everything in the restaurant is top notch, the decor, the...

WOW! What a phenomenal tasting menu! We were fortunate enough to win a competition to sit at the Chef’s Table and be treated to an 8 course menu with paired wines and it was incredible. Mark and the team were amazing hosts and loved how...

Have wanted to go here for a while and so glad we did. A bold statement to make but I think it’s the best food I’ve ever eaten. Mark and his team produced outstanding plates of food that are worthy of any Michelin star restaurant....

This is our favourite restaurant in Folkestone. The food is exceptional and so is the service. You will not find anything else like this locally. We love the extras, little surprises and seeing Mark. He is full of new ideas and has put so many...

What a disappointment. I do agree that I wasn’t in the best frame of mind….I had just been to a best friends funeral but I was so looking forward to going here. We have been to all of of Marks restaurants in the past and absolutely loved them. My husband and I arrived and the staff were cordial…..no more than that. We were asked if we wanted water. That was it! We ordered gin and tonic which came. Okay, order was taken, staff were not okay with the menu. Wine we had to ask for. Took an age to arrive. Food was beautiful but all in all not a good experience. No atmosphere and staff were very blah. We ate regularly at The Swan, Rocksalt and The Wife of Bath which were all fantastic. As a diner you felt very special but not at this restaurant.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Had the 5 course tasting menu, couldn't fault anything, nice little extras in between courses made it extra special and Mark popped out to say hello. The house wine was very good. Will definitely return,

A superb lunch with friends. Exquisite cooking, beautifully presented; a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds coupled with friendly, knowledgeable service with some delightful touches of theatre. To speak to Mark directly when he came out to check on how we'd found our meal...

What an absolutely first class lunch we had. Everything was top notch from the food to the service and the price was absolute value for what you got. I can particularly recommend the bread service with the wagyu beef dripping. Absolutely unreal

Splendid, fantastic food, great decor and top service. The lunch fixed price menu is an utter bargain, I haven’t eaten a lunch this good in a very long time. Mr Sargeant runs a very fine establishment, you should go!

Went for Sunday lunch, taking my Grandson who loves cooking. Mark Sargent made a point of chatting to him and my grandson loved every minute of it. Starters of veloute and a carrot terrine were great. Mackerel main and Guinea fowl also excellent. Super desserts...

Superb value 5 course menu offer- absolutely faultless. Fantastic food, friendly service, and loved the Brian Aris photos on display. Only slight gripe was the Christmas music, it just wasn't appropriate with the food and surroundings Easily some of the best food we've enjoyed in...

We enjoyed a fabulous dining experience with lunch at the Chef's Table. We were there celebrating a birthday in January. The whole experience was top class and the food outstanding. The experience was even greater with the personal interaction of the chef patron Mark Sergeant...
