The best restaurants serving British food in Victoria Ashford South East

An excellent Christmas lunch with friends - I'd heard good reports about the cafe at Ripleys Garden Centre and it didn't let us down. Delicious food, perfect portions, well priced and friendly, efficient staff. Happy to recommend and will certainly return.

From the moment we walked in the door, we were impressed - the cafe is beautifully decorated and had a welcoming atmosphere. Despite being a group of 6 - with a dog - we were quickly seated. We had a range of food - sandwiches, baguettes, toasties and jacket potatoes, all of which were freshly made and delicious. The cakes we had to follow were also wonderful - the only downside (!) being the wide choice and having to decide on which ONE to have! The people serving us were warm, friendly and very accommodating, elevating the whole experience. If I’m back in the area, I’d certainly pay another visit and would encourage others to do the same. A real gem!

Had a busy day so stopped off for breakfast at the church view tea rooms ashford, although it was fairly busy we were made to feel welcome by the staff. The breakfast was piping hot and all cooked to order. A big thank you to the staff members for making us so welcome. Thank you

Enjoyed a two-course lunch today with a large group of friends. The food was well-cooked and well-presented. The staff worked hard to ensure that the meals were served quickly. We were made to feel very welcome.

The packaging of this was a joke!! Mushrooms sent in a cup! Soo all the juices leaked over all the burgers that were in paper bags!! Making it all inedible!!

Cheap no thrills pub with pool table

This is an honest review as I think its inportant that businesses know why they are half empty on the busiest nights of the week. This place at the beginning used to be amazing, it was exactly what ashford needed an exciting new venue, with amazing staff and a limited but fantastic food and drinks offering that was always consistent in quality, they had a superb front of house manager and everything was superbly executed and it was packed, for quite some time. Time has moved on and now im not sure what is going on, this place has so much potential and yet is totally under acheiving in every respect, menu is ok, but food is fairly tasteless and indifferent, service is mediocre at best, we sat and had a meal, the wine is just dumped on the table and not poured, the waitress did not once during and even at the the end of the meal ask us if it was ok, never checked in for drinks and the music was intermittent, basic stuff that costs them money, we'd probably have had more to drink and because they couldn't be bothered by the time we got asked for dessert we couldnt be bothered to stay. The place was half empty the waitresses didn't have much to do, businesses are making mistakes, maybe because of a fixed 10% service charge, so staff have no incentive to be good anymore?? The potential for this place is huge and im very aware of how hard it is to find good staff and set standards, but with the right management, quality control, motivated staff and a few ideas to draw in the numbers this place could be superb, as it stands decidedly average and not much different to eating at weatherspoons and thats from a regular customer who has watched it progressively deteriorate. I wil not be rushing back anytime soon and im guessing neither will the othee customers who used to pack it out. Business is not hard, if it used to be full all the time and its now half empty, owners please ask yourself what has changed and don't sit on the fence saying ita a sign of the times, ive been to many restaurants lately that are packed and more expensive and arguably with a less impressive venue. Youve dropes the ball. Such a shame.

Breakfast was lovely, cheap and unlimited coffee for £6.65

Do yourself a favour - think twice before you eat there. I went with a friend. The chips tasted and looked like they had been cooked in oil earlier in the day and re-heated in a microwave so they were soggy and tasteless and not a lot of effort put into presentation on the whole the food was substandard. The furniture wasn't the best. The chairs needed re-padding and given a good clean. The female staff were polite and helpful. Probably the only positive thing about our visit to the café.
