The best restaurants in Boughton Aluph and Eastwell Ashford South East

Very welcoming atmosphere. Service was amazing along with the food. Very tasty

A busy café slightly out of town. Clean, well staffed, nicely decorated and with easy to read menus. Free parking outside too. I ordered a jacket potato with salad and a coffee and the meal was nicely prepared and tasted fine. A nice place to eat, if at times rather busy!

Just ordered our work Lunch from here and it was so unbelievably good! All our staff were very impressed. The batter was so light and crispy and all very well seasoned. We had an array of items from across the menu and everything had such a great flavour. Great friendly service from the lady on the desk as well. We may have to make 'Fish Fridays' a permanent thing.

The grounds are stunning. The manor house impressive. The Manor restaurant was great service but VERY expensive. The mains are £28 - £32 each and does not include the potatos or veg. The mains are very tiny portions. The potatos £6 for a side dish. The price is silly compared to what you actually get.

We attended Eastwell Manor for Sunday Lunch but because of the lack of trained staff and the bad management, we had an awful time. We were left waiting for 30 minutes before someone came to take our drinks order. There were about 15 different gins and 10 vodkas on the menu and we ordered a Hendricks and tonic. 20 minutes later, the waitress came back to tell me that they didn't have that Gin. I asked which ones they had and off she went again for another 10 minutes. When she returned, she said there was only 1 gin available. I then asked about the vodkas and once again she disappeared for about 5 minutes and returned to tell me that they only had 2 vodkas available. We felt very sorry for her as obviously this was not her fault but the fault of the manager. Why were the staff not informed at the beginning of their shift what items were unavailable. Common sense really!! We were informed that we would need to order our dessert at the same time as our starter and main course or we would wait "hours" Our roast dinners arrived and there was no horseradish or mustard or any other sauces available. I asked the man who brought our dinners for another drink and he told me I had to catch someone's eye as he couldn't take orders for drinks. When you actually managed to speak to anyone, they were very pleasant and we felt very sorry for them having to work in these conditions. There were complaints from many other people also. The lunch dragged on and I was glad when it was over- move over Basil Fawlty. is the restaurant closing down? That would explain why there was such a poor menu. The food itself was wonderful. What a shame that the management aren't!

Our stay at Champneys Ashford this time wasn't as good as last time unfortunately. We couldn't enjoy the spa freely because of the restrictions on entry times for certain guests. Also, the chlorine levels were so high that everyone's eyes were stinging. And on the second day, the jacuzzi wasn't working at all. There were no robes in anyone's rooms so people were having to chase around to find their own robes. The bedroom was filled with cobwebs and was quite chilly, but somehow I managed to get burnt by the piping hot towel rail in the bathroom. A bit dangerous! As a married couple, we wanted a romantic spa break so booked a double room. However, we ended up with twin beds pushed together. So no snuggles for us unfortunately. The breakfast was okay, and the staff were friendly, but we waited 45mins for our breakfast to be cooked which took us past the 11am checkout time, and we almost missed our cab to the station. Let's hope they don't deduct my account for late checkout. Unfortunately I don't think we will be back again. Although the grounds are beautiful, the standards seem to be slipping.

Excellent service, very friendly and caring staff. Gorgeous food and very reasonably priced.

Really good local pub, We attended for new years eve which was ticket only and had a really good night with a lovely buffet and the drink was well priced

Great food and reasonably priced great staff

Ashford north takeaway shop , Collection order chicken sizzler 🙄 Not even half the slices had chicken on them the cheese was almost invisible, in was so thin and sloppy, couldn’t even pick a slice up as it wasn’t even cut through so I had to try and cut the sloppy thin mess into slices this was when I thought this is just not acceptable!! So thought I must leave a truthful review to help others … It’s Not brain surgery is it ? making a pizza 🙄but they still managed to make a utter mess if it , don’t deserve one star ⭐ Utter waste of money and time … Never again !!!’
