The best restaurants in Ashford South East

The Star kindly agreed to host mum’s wake on Friday. It couldn’t have gone better, communication before hand was efficient, drinks and buffet lunch for 50 served with efficiency. Very welcoming for children, family and friends. I was even contacted to be asked about mums favourite music so that they could put a background play list together. Thank you so much for accommodating us in your local friendly pub.

The food is always nice here. They've changed it around a little, opening up inside to create a seating area. A good place to stop off for something that's always served with a smile and a chat.

Terrible - flavourless, small and not a patch on the old owners - would not recommend. Really so disappointed - would never return

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting as part of a walk. A stunning pub, with an amazing garden, big fan of the range of events on offer.

Really great place for home cooked food, some of it literally fresh out of the oven. We had a ploughman’s with 3 cheeses,two different breads. Took rhubarb scones home for later and they were delicious!!

The food was reasonably priced, and vegan. The service was quick. The victoria sponge and meringue tasted like the real thing. It was SO lovely having hens wandering around our feet.

I recently won a Latte Art masterclass at the cafe with Head Barista Nathan Cooper. What a fantastic experience. Nathan is an excellent, patient tutor with wealth f knowledge about all things coffee! He immediately made me feel at ease and I had a great time having a go at practising different creations. Nathan also showed me some of his artistic work, including a pegasus design. Thank you so much! I never realised there was so much skill in creating beautiful latte art designs.

Delightful, one of a kind cafe. Obviously aimed at cyclists, which we are not, but that didn’t matter. Very friendly staff, quick service, and exceptional espresso (tasting notes displayed on the counter; they obviously take it seriously.)

Wanted to go somewhere new for lunch and spotted this place. We were very pleased we did. It was reasonably priced and freshly made and tea with tea leaves was a bonus.

Located close to Ashford United Football Club, those seeking a large and reasonably priced meal are assured of a warm welcome from the staff. The menu is imaginative and varied and the helpings big. There is parking close by and two large tables in front of the serving area. Recommended.

This is a fantastic place to eat from spectacular all day breakfast, to great specials and great cakes. Today I had the lamb pie special with chips and veg. It is the best pie I’ve eaten since my Mum’s and she was a brilliant cook. Thank you.

friendly welcoming staff good coffee and light food a good place to stop and rest in a friendly atmosphere

If you don't want to go to the Granary Restaurant (or it's too busy), The Old Dairy is a very good alternative. Friendly staff serve a selection of drinks, snacks and ice cream; there's even a book and flower shop. It is also dog friendly.

Just found out that they have closed for retirement. Have been going here for 20 years and wish Gordon and his wife a happy retirement
