The best restaurants in Castle Dover South East

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.

I am a huge bubble tea fan, I have them all over the place. I saw an advertisement for this bubble tea cafe on Facebook, we were staying in Deal for the weekend so decided to pop in here on our way home. The little shop is great, really friendly staff, great service. We ordered milk tea - brown sugar with tapioca bubbles. It was really really good! I also brought some merchandise while I was there, some panda stuff (as I’m a little obsessed with them) some stickers and notepads plus some snacks to take home. The prices were really reasonable and a good size drink. As said before I have bubble tea where ever I go and this is the BEST I’ve ever had. I will def be returning.

Fantastic band on the night we went, intimate setting. Relaxed, great vibes.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, cheerful, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor and beautifully presented. We asked our server for recommendations for both vegetarian and chicken dishes, and they gave us excellent suggestions that turned out to be just perfect. Everything we tried was spot on! What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was incredibly kind, joyful, and attentive. They made us feel right at home with their friendly attitude and really enhanced the whole dining experience. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly enjoys their job and goes the extra mile to make guests feel special. The happy, relaxed vibe of the restaurant, paired with the great food and outstanding service, made for a truly memorable visit. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a positive atmosphere!

Local bar with many cask and tap beers. The locals are fun and funny. Great place for a pint and relax

Traditional and emblematic place for those of us who like open waters (a must-see place in Dover)

Music ok spent many nights there as there is nothing else in town

We have been wanting to come here for a while. Left feeling underwhelmed after reading great reviews. The jerk chicken wrap was lovely. Curried goat had nice flavour but wasn’t really a curry, looked like it had been under the heat lamp for a while. Mac n cheese was just pasta and sauce. Lovely rum.

I booked this for my mother's 98 Birthday and it was amazing food, service and the care that they gave my mum was outstanding.

Chicken shish was cooked perfect and seasoned well. They gave us a starter plate of taziki, olives and bread before our meal and complimentary baklava after our meal. Food came out quick and the staff was nice.

Ordered a pint of Guinness, passed to me with a 2inch head, explained to the bar staff this was not acceptable, they then attempted to pour another one with no success, so I requested a refund and left

If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food and the friendliest staff, Chaplins is a must-visit. The service is always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is delicious, with a variety of options that never disappoint, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or spending time with friends, this café delivers an excellent experience every time. Highly recommend

I honestly did not expect the service and portions received. I am SO glad we decided to walk in. Sunday Roast was AMAZING. A definite MUST visit.

This is a very nice cafe/coffee shop in the centre of Dover, just opposite St Mary's Church and about a 5 minute walk or less to the seafront. I was there on a Friday at about 10.30am and it was very busy. It's pretty much in 3 parts - the main area as you come in, a small seating area further inside (there is a downstairs but it wasn't open) and a little garden area. The toilets were very clean. The place itself was very warm and cosy. There's wifi available. But most importantly the coffee was very good, not expensive at all and I even got a little biscuit for dunking :). I was surprised at how busy it was initially but after half an hour I realised that there is actually a very nice atmosphere throughout. I didn't eat - many others were - but I would definitely recommend a coffee and a sit down here.

The best as usual many thanks for nice food and friendly service much appreciated boys
