The best restaurants serving British food in Shepway South East

Thoroughly enjoyed our unexpected Christmas dinner. We stayed in the hotel room only, so got a special price voucher to get a meal in the restaurant fir a bargain price. We had a seafood starter, followed by turkey and gammon with trimmings. After was a lovely selection of gateau, plus we could have had Christmas pudding. Followed this with cheeses and crackers. A complimentary glass of fizz and not forgetting the crackers and unlimited hot drinks. We were so full, we were burstin ( excuse the pun). Definitely eat here again, even at the full price, as worth every penny.

Visited Port Lympne for the day to enjoy the safari experience and afternoon tea. I can't recommend it enough! Huge site, very clean and good facilities (although maybe a few more bins further out are needed, ending up carrying an empty coffee cup almost round the whole place 😅) The safari experience is a must! You'll see animals and areas you can't get to on foot. Penny was our safari driver and host and was fantastic, truly passionate about her job. The afternoon tea is also a must! They catered for my partners dislike of currants in the scones and even swapped the carrot cake for something else. Something I didn't even consider when I let them know about the scones! The service was great and my partner got a complimentary drink for her birthday, they made her a mocktail which was great. Food was super, fresh and plenty of tea. Sausage roll and quiche came out warm too. For those reviews that complain about not seeing animals or empty enclosures, remember this isn't a zoo. They have space to roam and not always in view and if it's cold, much like humans, they'll be sheltered!

The ambience was good plus service excellent however the ox cheek was slightly off .Fresh cuts I would recommend if they are marinating in wine over knight .My partner enjoyed the bangers and mash .I did enjoy the cabbage and the gravy though and food presentation went well with the red wine .It’s a sad shame that they no longer serve ravioli .This is one of the places that had that good ravioli .

Atmosphere and staff were great and was a lovely environment. Although, it's now the second time I've eaten there and the second time I was disappointed with the food. It may be my personal taste, but I just find the food to just be "OK". For an establishment with such a nice vibe - and price - I expected the food to be better. Perhaps it's just too fancy/hipster for my taste. Having said all that, I would certainly go back for a coffee or beer, just not food.

After a long 2hour dog walk, 4 hoomans & 5 bassets , we visited here for a fantastic Sunday lunch, food was absolutely delicious, I had the beef and it was so tasty & tender, others in my group had the pork and they found it delicious too! Cauliflower cheese was included with the beef and it was so tasty, highly recommend Will definitely be returning 😃❤️

Very nice people, nice food, cheap.prices.

The food was absolutely amazing and the staff very helpful and pleasant. Best ploughman's platter.

Great food and friendly service

Amazing welcome and what accommodating staff!! We turned up on Halloween not expecting a special menu and they could not do enough to supports for “off menu” requests. Super dog friendly, accommodating our 4 spaniels and a chihuahua. Will definitely be back when in the area. Amazing food, ambience and staff. Thank you

After being let down by a restaurant in Dymchurch we stumbled across this gem, we had a great Sunday carvery which was delicious and plentiful and the three young girls serving where delightful, will certainly return when we are down next

This authentic Italian restaurant is hands down the best restaurant in folkestone. The staff are friendly and the food is to die for. And the food is a good price and I will recommend to every person reading this review. I 100% will be coming back.

Tavern is attached to the Park Dean resort. Didn't stop for more than a needed drink on the outside tables. Inside tables all looked as if they needed a wipedown, even though the place was extremely quiet when we went.

Off the beaten track, friendly, lovely views, breakfast looked fabulous. ( looking at others) very popular.

Fantastic, where to start, it’s a very old building dating 1901 over 120 years old , I was very pleased with my room 10 , I’ve have read reviews on other hotels what people expect, I came here without reading reviews that don’t interest me , what I like another person does not , I can only say and repeat value for money , clean , very friendly staff , good food my breakfast 5 star , on Sunday had a fantastic Sunday dinner ( like my grandmother used to cook ) think what you are paying , I paid very little for great food fantastic staff , home from home

Sunday lunch legends. Good ales on tap. Friendly staff.
