The best restaurants in Dover South East

Excellent place for a light lunch with a wide choice of savoury dishes, English Rarebit was superb, also puddings and lots of home made cakes,scones, etc.

Ein einzigartiges Cafe mit einer liebevollen Einrichtung und typisch britisch. Wir haben Gebäck und Kuchen Köstlichkeiten genossen und guten Tee getrunken. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können es nur empfehlen 💐

We decided after walking around the town and seafront to visit this cafe for a light snack for lunch. The food here is very good with an excellent menu serving up various dishes . Today we went for sandwiches and a panini , these come with a side salad . Staff are very friendly and the food is good value for money.

What a lovely little place with a very cosy atmosphere. A real hidden gem. You feel like being at home. Excellent and very personal service and excellent food. There is a choice for everyone at a very reasonable price. I had the very delicious Pierogi and you must try Slava's baked cheesecake as dessert! I am sure that once you have tried this little place it won't be your last time.

Fantastic and warm welcome, excellent service with incredible pizzas! Restaurant is literally in front section of a house lit up like a fairytale - cosy and intimate and served with big smiles.

Great variety of good tasting food, there is something for everyone on their menu. They also catered for our dietery requirements. Great service too.

Two of us went for a late mid week lunch and had an enjoyable meal. I had the roast veg and brie panini which was very tasty and came with a nice side salad. My husband had the Cajun chicken which came with cauliflower gratin and potatoes. The staff were lovely.

Visited a couple of times recently and numerous times in the 60s to collect Season Tickets! The coffee is excellent and should make an independent close by look to it's laurels and with the local butcher almost opposite showcasing their bacon and sausages in the Panini I had at The Waiting Room, it's a win-win for both businesses. As the toilet gets more than a mention in reviews, it's a shame that it's been allowed to get shabby as a lot of thought (and money?) obviously was behind it, some of the grouting cleverly referencing the East Kent Road Car Company livery: please give it the care it deserves? Nonetheless I wouldn't hesitate to return, or recommend, as the effort to transform this Arts and Crafts gem, at last, was worth the wait. (D'you see what I did there?)

Stopped here this morning for a cuppa. Hubby had a cheese toasties and tea , I had a coffee and doorstep toast. Both were very good, really enjoyed them.

Quite simply. The best omelette I've ever had. Cooked to perfection. Served with chips and a lovely fresh salad. Great staff. Friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back soon.

My husband and I had the most perfect and amazing wedding at The Cider Works in September 2024; it was everything we dreamed of and more. Jodie, Guy and their fantastic team could not have made our day any better. From the first moment we viewed the venue and met Jodie we knew it was the one for us. Everything was relaxed and stress free and the food was outstanding, all of our guests have commented on what a gem of a venue we found. The shepherd huts were so comfortable and the milk for tea/coffee, orange juice and snacks provided were very welcomed. Being able to sit around the fire pit at the end of the night with our loved ones was another lovely addition. We will be returning for dinner very soon. Thank you all for making our wedding day so magical.

Very nice, friendly service, helpful and nothing too much trouble. Homemade quiche, hot sausage rolls, lovely.

It was recommended to us by an acquaintance, so we thought it was worth a try . Sadly it did not live up to the recommendation on our visit . The staff who were really friendly were at sixes and sevens and getting confused with orders , both drinks and meals and it felt like frustration was creeping in. Condiments were requested by us and failed to arrive , drinks arrived we had not ordered etc etc. The food was in two groups , edible and inedible . My wife's fish n chips lor example looked like the fish had been on a diet , the batter was a funny yellow colour and was not cooked through , so the fish was unpleasant. The staff were good and took it off the bill when it was pointed out

Fabulous little boutique style coffee shop. A great service pre travel but lovely little bites to eat, great coffee etc. Staff always super quick and friendly

Superb, cheerful service, delicious (gluten free) homemade cake and coffee/tea at an astoundingly reasonable price. I highly recommend. Food is all cooked on the premises and served in light, airy, welcoming, clean café. Hidden gem.
