The best restaurants in Lydd Shepway South East

There is a shop & a cafe here, both super friendly and it overlooks the railway station so you can see the trains pull in. We turned up literally 5 minutes before the last train was due in & then they close. The cafe staff were clearly cleaning everything and packing up. We asked for 3 takeaway teas and the lady served us, which i was very grateful for as we were cold and a hot drink was very welcome. I also managed to squeeze a quick purchase at the shop as well. We also saw the last train draw up which was good timing on our part. Friendly and really nice people. Thank you.

Last week we had a jumbo cod and chips and boy it was devious.. Crispy yet fluffy homemade chips and huge pieces of super fresh cod in feather-light batter. Today we weren’t hugely hungry so had the light lunch fresh fish and chips .. equally delicious for all the same reasons as above. Lovely friendly barman and good range of well kept beers. Two minutes further into Dungeness and light years away from the overpriced and under delivering Pilot Inn!

Despite both the website and the Facebook page stating that this bar had now re-opened and was open daily from 9am to 4pm, when we got there at 11.30am today, we walked in the main door, saw yet another sign confirming this information, but the bar was locked and in darkness. Will not bother going back until we know for sure that it actually is open!
