The best restaurants in Bockhanger Ashford South East

Stayed here a few times. This time was the first one with the grandchildren. The hotel staff were extremely helpful, placing us at the far end of the hotel, rooms next to each other, with a inter-connecting door. I had requested this as my youngest grandsons still wakes during the night and can be rather loud. All worked well.

Moving to screens in a small space is a terrible idea, also you now can't talk to people and explain specifically what you want which is one of the main reasons of choosing subway over other options, you now have a physical barrier between staff and customers. It actually seemed to take longer to get a sandwich made. With the removal of the classics( they might be back now) and some of the sauces, not being able to get things microwaved concurrently with the sandwich being toasted and the huge increase in price, drop in quality, the value is gone. One of the female staff members is a bit grumpy and unapproachable. Prices are so high now its ridiculous and they never have salt n vinegar flavour crisps 😅.

They do the best freshest salad in any restaurant, I believe. The pizzas were brought out fresh too. The lunchtime buffet is well recommended. You can't go wrong.

We've been talking about trying Beefeater for over a year and as we drove past we decided to try them for a late lunch. The server was friendly and attentive. The good delivery was a little slow and while it wasn't bad it was nothing to write home about. Can't say it was memorable enough to return.

We had a good experience. Food was fresh but could have been hotter. I liked the ordering system and the kids appreciated the bottomless soda. We had a 20 minute wait on a busy Saturday bank holiday weekend which was fine. Friendly staff. Solid 4 star. Could have been 5 if food was hotter and a little more time taken to prepare and present.

Really lovely team members, friendly, polite, and smiling. The food was good and on time. It's really clean and welcoming place.

Slow and rude service. Croissant I order was cold and hard, at best this was a couple of days old.

Very helpful and friendly staff. They have really upped their game as the restaurant is much cleaner than a year ago. Clean well kept toilets too. Food is usually freshly cooked.

Oh dear! We got there at 2 pm for Sunday lunch. What a fiasco! (We have only had lite bites or cake before.) Asked for 3 meat Sunday lunch. Told there were only 2 meats. Said they would give us three slices regardless. We only got two. Then, the vegetables were added. Asked for parsnips, but told they "don't go with this meal." Asked for Yorkshire pudding, only two left. After an age of faffing, we got the food on our trays. Then went to hot drinks. It took 5 minutes to get served. There was only one person in front of us. Our dinners were going cold at this point. (They were not exactly sold steaming hot, though) Then over to till to pay, again waited 5 mins for till operator to come to the till. Finally sat down with food. Stone cold, not very nice, Yorkshire pudding was so tough you couldn't chew it. Needless to say, it was an awful experience for what should have been a nice lunch. Will not bother again.

Avoid like the plague!! Service is so unbelievably slow. Food not up to much and over priced. Loads of staff but no one serving

We were so pleased to see John Lewis reopen their cafe a couple of months ago but so disappointed that there are no vegan ( dairy and egg free options ( aside from a couple of cereal bars which are often sold out)).Visiting today we counted 18 cake and scone options, none of which were vegan, and 7 sandwiches, none of which were vegan. We appreciate that a more limited menu is available than before but with this range of cakes there must be room for one or two vegan options and at least one vegan sandwich!Prior to lockdown there were two vegan cakes and two vegan sandwiches/ wraps so we know it can be done!The cafe offers at least two non- dairy milks and the hot chocolate is dairy free also so there is an acknowledgement that there are customers who can't/don't have dairy.With vegan options expanding in virtually all cafés, restaurants and supermarkets John Lewis café is, sadly, lagging behind the times ☹️

Normally every outlet we go to the staff are friendly and helpful with my request for a pot of pickles. I love them and that is one of my reasons for using McDonalds. Unfortunately this outlet couldn't be less bothered and when I tried asking I just got a backhand comment about having to go to the counter and pay for them. All other outlets are happy to give me some with our order because we have spent money here. Not at all impressed and won't be using them again.

Called earlier in the day for a last minute booking which they had no issue getting us a table for later in the day as we could book online. Arrived on time and saw that it was not busy plenty of staff as well so I thought there would not be an issue. 2 staff member behind the bar yet we waited nearly 5 minutes to be sat down. When sat down the staff member explained what to do and how to order. However, I wish they had given us a bit more information on the meal deals that were there. 2 minutes later we had another staff member came upto are table asking if everything was ok. Which fair enough it was great but at the same time it wasn’t really needed as we had just been spoken to by another staff member. Ordering online was very confusing and a little bit confusing as when looking at the different meal deals it was constantly asking if we wanted to upgrade after every time we pressed to add something. We had 2 pizzas both very nice piping hot and came as we had asked it. One staff member came upto us when we had stopped eating asking if we would like a pizza box to take them away. They gave us 2 small boxes which confused me as wouldn’t it be easier just to give a large box. I also wish they had come to check on us throughout the meal to check if everything was ok. The one thing that really puts me off is the dude above our table shall we say was disgusting. We were sat underneath a cage type thing as shall we say I’m very surprised we had none fall into the floor. When I saw this it actually made me feel abit off putting. When seeing this I then put my finger on the square light above us and shall we say it was thick with dust. The salad bar was very tidy clean and tidy with plenty of the salad options and no cross contamination in any of them as other pizza huts I have been to have had different salads in different parts. For example bacon bits in the coleslaw and carrots in tomato’s. Altogether I would recommend others to come here but I really feel there is some improvements in certain area.

New whopper is tasty and good ,quiet expensive though

My wife is a big KFC fan, whilst I am very much indifferent to it, whilst being largely scathing about the sort of people that go to KFC. However, my wife convinced me that we should have KFC in our hotel room once our daughter was asleep, and as she agreed to run across Eureka Way to go and collect it, I reluctantly acquiesced. We had the larger pieces of chicken and some popcorn chicken, plus some creamy mash (we got two portions instead of the one that we paid for, so that was a bonus) and gravy. To my eternal surprise, it was actually really nice! Maybe my tiredness and hunger blurred my judgement, or maybe I have been wrong about KFC for all this time. The chicken was really good, the coating was tasty, the mash was very good, and the gravy was an inspired addition. It was so enjoyable that I might even be convinced to have it again - though it will be a cold day in Hell before I step foot in one of their actual stores.
