The best restaurants serving British food in Dover South East

This place feels just right as soon as you walk in. The decor, the ambience and especially the owner Charlie. I had a brilliant eggs Benedict and my only regret is I was too full to have a piece of one of the fantastic gateaux they had for sale. I am definitely going back next week for a piece of one of those ten! Keith Wells

We’ve not been for ages but after last night’s dinner we’ll definitely be back. The dining areas are really classy, welcoming and clean which makes a big difference. The host was very welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t do more the help. The food was sensational as usual. The menu is fairly small which we feel shows the food is fresh and they’d rather do a small number of dishes really well. We think it’s still the best restaurant in Deal and definitely won’t make it so long before we go again.

Never disappoints, staff are very friendly and know their stuff, milkshakes can not be beaten and food always hits the spot! 10/10, a worthy trip to sandwich 🍔🥤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A very good place to hire a bike. A very kind staff. But it would be wonderful to be able to return bikes until 18:00-19:00, not 16:00.

Found this place when looking for lunch after a visit to Howletts. And what a good choice it turned out to be. An excellent pint followed by a great value set lunch. All food was tasty and well presented.

Nice place for a coffee or full menu

If you’re looking for a taste of old-fashioned baking done right, Al’s Bakery is the place to go! Their cream cake is absolutely divine – light, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The carrot cake is just as impressive, moist with a hint of spice and topped with a rich, velvety frosting. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Al’s Bakery truly embodies the charm and quality of traditional baking. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat!

Great place to go for Great service, super food and reasonable prices. Doing my bit for the workers out there, go and get some great food even better when the daughter is cooking. Don't tell him that though.

Great food with friendly service. I have been visiting with family for many years and never been disappointed! 🐟 🎣

Service was ok, garden is big but lacks plants and that country pub feels to it. Massive TV screen was on with loads of locals shouting at horse racing

This is a fantastic pub! Light and bright, spacious and welcoming. The staff were so friendly and accommodating to us and our two dogs. We phoned ahead and requested to stay in their carpark overnight with our motorhome which is free of charge (this pub is on Brit Stops - all they ask is that you pop in for a drink and introduce yourself!). We both had a meal and stayed for drinks as they were in no hurry for us to leave at the end of the night. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend this pub - many thanks to Christian and his fab staff for such a warm reception. We will be back...

I went in for lunch and ordered the Gyros and a side of homemade coleslaw, the man serving was very friendly and chatty. The gyros itself was to die for and the coleslaw was so fresh and tasty. Sadly I was only in the area for work so may not get the chance to come again for a while but I highly recommend.

This cafe is excellent, the staff are always welcoming and friendly nothing is to much trouble for them, the food whether it's hot or cold is outstanding

If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food and the friendliest staff, Chaplins is a must-visit. The service is always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is delicious, with a variety of options that never disappoint, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or spending time with friends, this café delivers an excellent experience every time. Highly recommend

First time visiting after new ownership for a Sunday roast as a group of 12. We are all foodies and great cooks so maybe a little more critical than others . The plates were lovely and warm and a very large ( slightly overdone,black edges) Yorkshire pudding was placed on top of the dinner, but have to say I think the dinner is quite small. Three of our party said we were still hungry and could have eaten the same dinner again, one of them isn't a big eater. I have to say the dinner was tasty, warm but not hot. Maybe the opportunity to order a regular or large size dinner maybe the way forward. Also gravy was scarce and an extra jug of gravy on the table would be nice. Condiments were not on the table and had to ask for pepper twice after our dinner arrived. Finally, a choice of 3 lovely home made deserts but all only served with ice cream, no option for custard or cream? Apple crumble without custard??? Please put custard as an option. Dinner small, deserts large 👍
