The best restaurants in Sandwich Dover South East

Had lunch here with three friends on August bank holiday Monday during the Sandwich Festival when the restaurant was fairly busy but not packed. We all ordered pizzas and then waited a very long time noticing that other customers who had arrived later were being served before us. One pizza arrived 25 mins after ordering and we waited another 10 minutes for the other three. All came on disposable plates with flimsy disposable wooden cutlery which proved incapable of sawing through the tough pizza base which had not been pre-cut into segments. After breaking two forks and making no impression on the pizza base with the knife I asked for metal cutlery and was informed that they had none. When I explained the problem and expressed my unhappiness the waiter shrugged his shoulders and wandered off leaving me no option but to tear my pizza into pieces with my bare hands. Thereafter no member of staff paid any attention to us and I had to go to the counter to order desserts and pay the bill. If you insist on eating here I recommend bringing your own cutlery.

Best roast dinner I have paid for in a very long time. Trio of meats was superb, really friendly place to have a relaxing meal.

Food is good quality and well priced with an extensive choice of wines. The staff were helpful and friendly. However the building is located on Sandwich Bay and has the potential for amazing views. Sadly the restaurant is at back with a small window facing a side view of the golf course. What a wasted opportunity for a fantastic venue

I highly recommend the fish finger sandwich! Best one ever! Such a cosy relaxed atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. We will be returning again to sample their cakes!

Asked if we could sit and have a quick coffee (we could see the state of the art machine from the street) and were seated by a lovely lady. She said they did loads of different kinds of coffee and brought us the menu. All of a sudden, a man (presumably the owner) arrives and rudely kicks us out ‘if you want coffee go to Costa’. Despite diner being less than half full, dogs on the floor and couple having lattes on another table!

Just had the most amazing roast at The Quayside, I can honestly say it’s the best I’ve had in a very long time, everything was cooked to perfection, loads of veg and gravy, the roast potatoes were spectacular! If you’re looking for a roast dinner then I highly recommend The Quayside, not only is the food good but the staff are attentive and friendly giving off a very warm welcome as you arrive. Well done to all the team, we will be back very soon.

Lovely staff! Great food! Great prices! Warm in winter, covered over area in summer! Anyone is welcome! And made to feel welcome by the whole team! Great place to go as a family, couple or with friends for a drink!

We love this place and come often. Pizzas are great. Good staff. Prices have gone up a bit, so we go less often that we used to!

Lovely place to get some lunch when in Sandwich The sandwiches were excellent and lovely bread Very attentive and friendly staff

Having parents who owned a fish shop, i have quite high standards when it comes to fish and chips! The food was amazing, cooked fresh to order and large portions. I sat outside and enjoyed it whilst watching the ducks! The owner and his son were very friendly, professional and welcoming. I've already recommended it to friends and family and will be returning next time I'm in the area.

lovely local pub with a proper old English atmosphere

I called up last minute for a booking and we were so lucky to get a table on a busy Friday evening. I ordered the Bento box which was jam packed full of flavour and excellent quality meat and fish. My partner had the brisket which was also gorgeously cooked and tender! The spicy broccoli was a great addition to our dishes. Service was excellent and we felt well looked after by staff. They were able to offer recommendations of the menu and helped us choose our dishes! The price was spot on for the quality of food we ate. We will certainly be visiting again and will recommend to others. It would be great to see a drinks menu other than the wine list. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Amazing location next to the river and close to centre. Staff are amazing and so helpful. Had an issue with room heating but management resolved quickly and with out fuss. Highly recommend

Can't sit there luv.. so we went next door.

Absolutely top shelf, cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Best Chinese I’ve ever had.
