The best restaurants serving British food in Kennington Ashford South East

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.

The food here is really good, with a nice variety of dishes. Service was friendly, but a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid choice for a casual meal with friends. Worth a visit!

Carvery meat was good, but vegetables boiled to death. A veggie pie’s crust resembled a tyre and a burger was mediocre. The floor was dirty with bits of food on it. The place was a converted club. Won’t comment on the service because we were told that the staff was in training.

We went for Sunday lunch on Mothers' Day. Booking was easy, we were welcomed and wished Happy Mothers' day. Service was very quick, we had carvery which was superb. Turkey which melted in the mouth and every vegetable known to man and all cooked superbly. Dessert was apple and rhubarb crumble which was really lovely, not blisteringly hot so not microwaved custard. The staff said goodbye as we left and although they were very busy, it was a lovely experience and run very well indeed. We will definitely go backl
