The best restaurants in Hythe Central Shepway South East

Best brunch we’ve had in years. Each element of the dishes we ordered was cooked to perfection. Clearly quality produce. Staff lovely. Gutted we don’t live locally!

swagat is a lovely restaurant to enjoy the most amazing food, between us all we tried all different variety from the menu…. And we were not disappointed the aroma from the food no words to describe, it was that good that we ended up ordering food to take back home, (we travelled from London) and Kieran our host was amazing with her lovely bubbly personality, she made sure we were well looked after. Well done to the chefs who cooked these amazing dishes……and let’s not forget about the amazing cocktails, definitely will be coming back especially to unwind from home.

Lovely quirky bar with friendly hosts and a good selection of drinks. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the local area.

We booked a Sunday lunch here for 5. We were greeted in a professional and warm manner. Nothing was too much trouble. We had the window seating which was perfect for watching the world go by on a cold December day. The Sunday iunch offered beef, pork, lamb or chicken. We chose a mixture of beef and pork, both cooked the way they should be. There was a full range of fresh vegetables. The roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy within, the Yorkshire pudding deserved a plate of its own! One of our party had eaten here previously so was able to recommend a lovely red wine from Chile. Will return for sure. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely local shop and a real asset to Hythe High Street. It's a friendly place and very helpful with lovely chocolates, ice cream and coffee. What more could you want!

Fantastic food & service in cosy & quirky surroundings! A real find, with food that’s hard to beat . Great, casual and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy an unhurried meal. Thoroughly recommend.

These premises ar run by a lovely family who produce and sell bakery goods of the highest quality BUT various other sites give misleading information, they are not a restaurant nor are they permanently closed. They are operating very nicely in the High Street, Hythe. Producing bakery of the highest quality.

Enjoyable from the start this quiet Indian restaurant has some excellent food. We had the Thali which comprises of three courses, served in small dishes. Truly different and very tasty. They have a novel selection of non alcoholic drinks that they make up. Quite honestly more than each of us could eat. A foodie delight. The only down side were people that came in from the street to use the toiler and some noise from the bar next door.

We came here for the steak night We rang and booked last minute and despite being busy the landlord booked us in I’m normally quite reticent about having a steak out - but I am so glad we had steak we had rib eye, tasty succulent and cooked to perfection Sides were good Portions ample Staff despite being so busy were helpful and timely- we weren’t rushed and didn’t wait for a long time We will definitely be back

Beautiful lunch very friendly i recommend to everyone staff very friendly and very good restaurant very good staff and great

What a lovely little find… beautiful food, excellent quality, great service all set in a lovely, olde world building. I possibly ate the best chicken burger I’ve ever eaten in The White Hart, Hythe. It was amazing… We are here 3 times over the weekend (during a weekend away) and enjoyed every meal… Sunday lunch was beautiful. If you find yourself in Hythe, we would highly recommend The White Hart… something for everyone and service with a smile…

Fantastic pub and staff. We popped in for a quiet birthday meal with our dog. Fantastic Lamb pie, desserts where great as well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely use again in the future 10/10

We drove up from Littlestone, tempted by the vegan menu. We were not disappointed! The cafe was busy (always a good sign!) and there was plenty of seating. I'm unsure if dogs were allowed inside but they certainly were outside where there's plenty of under cover seating. The food was really really nice - I had a tuna and cheese toastie and my (vegan) husband had a full breakfast. There were plenty of other vegan options for him on the menu too. There was an excellent selection of cakes (again, 2 or 3 vegan options). I took a large slice of the spiced apple cake home and it was 10/10 - tasty, fresh and homemade. Last but not least, the service was great. Lovely staff who all engaged well with the customers and it was actually really nice to see lots of them smiling and chatting to each other rather than overworked and stressed! We'll be back!

Another perfect visit this morning to the Lazy Shack on Hythe beach. A really quirky place that has been converted into an amazing restaurant. Lola and her sister Ruby are excellent hosts, both friendly, hard working and approachable. They deserve success because the food served is cooked perfectly and served steaming hot. A great place to visit for a ‘fishy’ meal or a huge breakfast, they also have a great cake selection.

Very rude staff. No hello. Like we were invisible, no acknowledgment at all. Quite happy to take your money. Asked to slice chicken thin… huffed.. I’ll try. No goodbye. RUDE.
