The best restaurants in Little Stour and Ashstone Dover South East

tea party that i attended for a friends birthday was superb, friendly service and welcoming feel about the place

Found this place when looking for lunch after a visit to Howletts. And what a good choice it turned out to be. An excellent pint followed by a great value set lunch. All food was tasty and well presented.

Very pleasant. Brilliant service. Food was very enjoyable and I like the fact dogs are welcome

Had a lovely meal whilst visiting family in the area. Helpful obliging staff and delicious food 😋

We own the Hay’s Shack and every week receive our order perfectly on time and with the same level of quality every week! Thank you

Popped into the Anchor on an impromptu visit to the area on a bank holiday. We hadn’t booked but there was space for us even though they were very busy. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive without smothering. I had the pan fried duck from the specials board and my husband had the Sirloin steak, both of which were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. For afters the sticky toffee cheesecake was a delight! The Anchor had a lovely atmosphere as a pub that families of all ages were enjoying and the toilets were very clean too! We would definitely recommend this pub and will definitely come back when we are in the area again.

Had my mums 50th birthday party here on the 20th of September, the staff were so helpful on setting up the venue and the buffet was fine beautiful, staff entertained with karaoke and music and was amazing with the children who were at the party also, would definitely recommend, great pub with lovely atmosphere ☺️

Lovely Sunday lunch today, £21 for a 3 course meal is great value and yet the food was really good too! Efficient service also worth a mention.

I went with a very good friend to this restaurant today (19/06/24) for lunch - The Old Dairy - at Goodnestone Park Gardens near Canterbury. The car park was very busy, and we wondered if we’d get seated, we were happy when we did and sat inside. There’s a variety of seating both inside and outside. It’s a nice airy area with good, but not harsh lighting. We were offered a choice of two tables. We each had a toasted sourdough sandwich which came with a small side salad. My friend had a cheese and ham one and I had the Brie and bacon with cranberry. See photos attached. I had tap water. My friend had a pot of tea and it was presented with a lovely dainty bone china cup + saucer (teapot left too). As they were relatively busy, her tea was getting cold whilst waiting for the food, they replenished the pot at no extra charge. The food was really tasty and you can see from photos tastefully presented. We weren’t rushed in any way which was nice. You pay at the till point. There’s a little shop adjacent to the restaurant which sells items such as tea towels, glasses cases, candles, books and lots of other items, mainly about the House and Gardens itself.

We had a delicious lunch sitting in the courtyard of the restaurant. A very varied menu and friendly service. It is definitely on my list of 'go to' places for a meal out.

Lovely country pub with great service all the staff are lovely. Food is delicious such a brilliant mix of pub food and Vietnamese flavours would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of visiting

Took a chance with this place following reviews, the pub itself was a little bit tired but that was more than made up with the welcome from the staff and service. Our order for food was taken to the extra mile for my wife, who is a vegetarian, an alternative the to the menu was offered and accepted. The food was fantastic and the staff clearly understand the clientele very well, we also had the dessert of apple crumble, which was enormous and very satisfying, well done to whoever baked this dish. All in all a great meal and service from the ladies who made us welcome and looked after us all.

Visited for our daughters birthday very very disappointed food poor quality. 3/4 had chips which were just basic skin on frozen fries . Eggs were cheap ones . I had the lamb rump which was tough as old boots not given a steak knife had too ask for 1 even then couldn’t really eat the meat it was such poor quality and fatty. The gravy watery the bubble and squeak burnt and cold carrots and “buttered “ cabbage cold boiled cabbage avoid so so disappointing the whole meal was and definitely overpriced

We booked this on a friends recommendation and had the most fantastic meal here last night! Greeted by a friendly gentleman who was serving drinks and brought us food that was beautifully cooked and presented. We even came home with a doggy bag - and I have to say they were the best leftovers I’ve ever eaten! Honestly this place is an absolute gem - and we’ll be back again soon! Thank you!
