The best restaurants serving British food in Kennington Ashford South East

Absolutely stunning from start too finish! Big thank you too Alex and team. Food was michelin star, and the vibes what top class!!!

We used to visit this cafe on a very regular basis, but due to difficult family circumstances, this was our first opportunity to return in 9 months. We were welcomed with open arms by the owner (Karen) and by the waitresses (Yvonne, Pip and Maisie), who all said how much they'd missed us, and how lovely it was to see us again. Pip and Yvonne both remembered our usual order (particularly impressive, as I have a restricted diet and have to slightly alter a dish on the menu). The food is top-quality, freshly prepared, and absolutely delicious. In these days where the impersonal machine is king, it is lovely to visit an establishment where you receive top-notch personal service, and where you are made to feel like a friend rather than merely a customer. I truly cannot recommend Williams & Thomas highly enough - it is the best tearoom in Kent.

Gone downhill I feel. Music blasting so loud couldn’t even talk as a family at the table. Food isn’t what it was on last visit. Prices have increased, as has most food, but quality is declining. Service is also a bit hap hazard with wrong items brought over. Even staff couldn’t hear to take order as music was so loud. Ruined it really. Table next to us also had had enough as they were directly under a speak on the wall.

Although its glory days are long behind it and it needs to be refreshed, the hotel is clean. Nice service and good breakfast.
