Theres not a huge amount to see here and only made worthwhile for us being cadw members. However its still a nice and well kept site in peaceful surroundings in the countryside. The lady in the gift shop was nice and polite .

Before entering I read a review which said there wasn’t much here - well it depends on expectations! I would recommend the guidebook to get your bearings although the usual panels are available. The site is quite big and is a really interesting one for those interested in Roman Britain, Richborough being an important port. It was easy to imagine what the site looked like through the centuries. Really enjoyed this one! Recommended!

Part of the English Heritage ... well worth getting a subscription if you are in Kent there are so many EH sites to see Richborough has a great audio guide so you get an expert to explain how the buildings were constructed and used. There is also a small exhibition showing artifacts from the site. Amazing how far it is now from the sea considering it was build at the seafront (the coast had moved not the fort 😀)

I didn’t realise this was an English Heritage site so was pleasantly surprised when I came here. My friend and I were greeted by a friendly member of staff whom offered me a discount to become a member. I am now! There is a museum here as well which was very interesting to look through. You then go out and can have a leisurely walk around the fort. A whole wealth of information on the boards as well. Fascinating to know this was the gateway to Britannica!! There is a car park here but it’s free. Added bonus is there are toilets here. Now these are compostable toilets, your waste helps the planet! Was weird not flushing though 😂 I would definitely come back here again. As a Roman history lover it is a must see. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

Really enjoyed our first visit. What a great little hidden gem. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Particularly Lindsay and Neil. Thank you so much.

Had a lovely visit here this weekend. Such an interesting site. Nice little museum and accompanying audio guide. Very friendly, kind staff. I was also lucky that there was a very knowledgeable guide ( Jonathan who is normally at Deal Castle.) to chat to,who was able to answer my questions and enlighten me on what life would have been like at this fascinating site. I was also able to take my dog along which is always a bonus. Well worth a visit.

If you are interested in Roman history then this is for you, Richborough is where the Romans first landed and built a fort and town, a lot of interesting history, easy to get to and a good couple of hours, well worth a look

Went here for a birthday party and we were expecting something else! Such a cool old school venue. Would 100% recommend as am event space or just to go to the pictures.

Lovely, quaint nostalgic movie theatre. £5 matinee. Friendly service. As one might anticipate, the seats weren’t super comfortable, but the experience was enjoyable all the same.

Smashing little old fashioned cinema that is a slice of history. Although it has only one screen, it still shows the latest big hits and at a third of the price of the big chains. Ah, it takes me back to my childhood!

Really good little cinema. I remember it from school. Seats comfy for the age of the place. They show up to date films. Recommend

Family gathering to celebrate a birthday party. We were a little disappointed to find our booking made in Feb 2022 had not been booked. We were however allowed to have use of the lounge. Due to the booking error first impressions it was untidy, bar area was dirty there was no paper towels, toilet roll in the toilets. Edward who dealt with us on the day, helped out as much as he was able. Due to this it tainted the experience as it was not as organised as we would have liked. That said the gathering was enjoyed, we were able to bring our own food and drinks. The building was as expected, beautiful looking but tired inside. Though we had the issue with the booking, we would try the venue again.

Caught a matinee with the kids. Did try buy tickets bit in advance but they were closed. Wasn't necessary as just us and one other couple in. My son thought was a bit creepy inside- but he is quite sensitive ha- perhaps the red lighting and old decor. Cold drinks would have been good. Picture and sound was fine.

Went to the 'Dancing at The Empire' film and dancing event. Great venue and event

This is a cosy upscale pub-like restaurant. Our waiter was friendly and cheerful. The food was very good....so why only 3 stars? We decided to have cheescake for desert and asked for some ice cream with it. Our waiter told us that "the chef can be difficult and probably won't agree to give us ice cream". I said, you've got to be kidding and asked him to tell the chef I'd like ice cream with my cheesecake. Well, the cheescake turned upon without ice cream. The waiter was apologetic, however said the chef wouldn't do it and went on to say that recently he refused to give a customer a bowl of ice cream. This may seem like a small thing, however I find it incredible that a restaurant would spoil what otherwise would have been an excellent experience by refusing to sell us a spoonful of ice cream... EXTRAORDINARY! I therefore can't give them more than 3 stars...

Popped in for coffee, ended up staying for a very long and enjoyable lunch in the sunshine. The welcome and service was fantastic and despite being short staffed due to illness and 8 of us in our party we were looked after really well. The menu is great, so was the beer and they are very dog friendly. Lots of pay and display parking, but we parked at the sea and walked into Sandwich, which is about a 4 mile round trip crossing the golf course (but there is a £10 per car toll).

Such a lovely experience at The Toll Bridge We popped in and had a drink in the delightful courtyard on a sunny afternoon prior to going back later for dinner. The food was excellent. They had sold out of steak but offered my husband a large slice of roasted sirloin as an alternative at no extra cost. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful location, excellent service, delicious meal - beautifully prepared. Eight of us enjoyed drinks in the bar area before dinner (the best Old Fashioned I have had in my two weeks stay in the UK 🙂). We then moved to the second floor dining area, with views of the river, and the boats tied up next to the toll bridge. The service couldn't have been better. The wait staff (and the owner) checked in regularly to make sure we were happy and taken care of. I had the Korean wings to start and the mussels for dinner - both were delicious. Around the table we had the brisket and the hake - which were all enjoyed. Wonderful evening. Will definitely be coming here again, the next time we are in Sandwich ❤️.

Popped in for a light lunch and the food was so good we decided to go back for dinner the same evening and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, the service spot on and the outside dining location was perfect. Highly recommended for great quality and tasty dishes especially the scallop starter. Good work team 👏👏👏👏

Out of this world, food everytime is incredible. I am coeliac as well; have never been anywhere better than here. Everything is catered for. Beautiful, thank you so much. Xx

Sat upstairs on a warm summer's evening by the big window overlooking the river. Lovely. The food was very good. Made mine up of 2 starters and Asian coleslaw. One of the best meals I've had

Had an incredible experience at Royal St George’s! The staff were absolutely amazing—friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure everything ran smoothly. The course itself is both challenging and beautifully maintained, offering a real test of skill in the best possible way. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and can confidently say it’s one of the best courses I’ve played in England. Looking forward to returning!

I attended the Amateur Championship for 3 days this week. What a course! Great set up by the R & A and the event was a credit to both them and the club. I'd love to play it one day, but it's a bit out of my price range!

I was lucky enough to play 4 rounds in 2 days and in that time we had every type of weather. I know the course reasonably well, but I will never know those greens. You either need a PhD in putting or a caddie! Definitely book a caddie, they are all experts.

Unbelievable golfing experience and rightly holds its place as best in the country. The course also in fantastic condition for December. Playing here is a real treat, each hole is special and the scenery is stunning. Worth playing twice as you will need to enjoy this incredible course for all that it had to offer.

The golf course is wonderful and in my mind the best in England... and as the sun set, the place became magical.

I played a round here on July 10th. This is by far the best golf course I have ever played. The course is stunning and immaculate, but it’s the people who separate this club from others. Everyone greeted me with a warm welcome and provided important information before my round. I even received a guest tag with my full name to put on my golf bag. A big thank you to the entire staff at Royal St. George’s for making this trip truly unforgettable. I hope to be back one day soon.

Great golf course. the best option in the area. Need to wear long pants or knee high socks (which they sell). Be prepared for a 5 hour round.

Didn't eat after one bite, took about a hour so Luke warm at best, tasted like trash cook's must be high or something not to mention order was a large so If I could stomach this slop I wouldn't be full anyway

Food is good but the website states the Shish comes with grilled peppers and onions. It didn’t. I rang to complain. To be fair they offered another but along with say you want that next time. We don’t wanna eat at different times. Change the website or do your job properly. Fair ?

We've used Amigos many times for deliveries and never had a bad meal. They are always quicker than they say and the food is piping hot. Pizzas have good toppings and base is not overcooked. The kebabs are full of meat & salad and burgers large and tasty. My baklava turned up and I had 3 good sized pieces. Would happily recommend them.

Their lamb shish kebab is the best quality lamb meat from anywhere else in the area, absolutely no gristle, pure lean gorgeousness. Very generous with the salad too. Prompt and polite service. Highly recommended.

Average at best. Placed a very simple order of chicken doner kebab and lamb doner meat and chips with salad. The chicken doner came with no pitta bread and was extremely dry. The lamb doner was average however no salad despite me listing what salad I wanted. Will probably not rush back here.

Chips wasn’t cooked properly and the Donner meat was cold and tasted horrible. Won’t order ever again as it use to be nice but now it’s crap food

Lovely staff and their falafel kebab is to die for! One happy customer. 😊

Really friendly & helpful staff, went out of their way to accommodate our dog (even making him a sausage for breakfast!). Good cooked vegan breakfast in the morning. Convenient location to town. The only downside was the parking- there are only 3 spaces outside the hotel. Otherwise you need to park across the road in the public car park.

Had lunch in restaurant today only a sausage sandwich for my wife and my self unfortunately it came cold and they had used a very poor spread on the bread not butter and at £10 per sandwich I felt it was overpriced, if i had known they don't use butter on their sandwiches we would have ordered differently. The spread tainted the whole sandwich and we both left them . Tha staff are excellent and friendly very professional and attentive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow – absolutely fantastic food! We ordered the Scotch egg, squid, and Ceaser salad, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service at the bar by Mark was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. A truly outstanding experience.

Had an enjoyable meal, best F & C I have eaten for a long time. Definitely will be back. Staff who served us were friendly & professional. There was plenty of food & drink choices. A great place to sit outside & watch the sun go down.

Had an amazing lunch here! Portions were super generous, service was faultless and the views/location was dreamy! It was my birthday and the staff kindly went the extra mile with candles in my dessert and an offer of a complimentary glass of fizz. Was made to feel very special indeed. Highly recommend. Will be back to sample more of their delicious menu!

This a nice traditional hotel in a quaint beautiful town of Sandwich. The hotel is located just near the river on the entrance into Sandwich town. The hotel has a bar and restaurant open for guests and local people and some 40 odd rooms. The hotel staff was very helpful and polite. The breakfast service was amazing and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel has limited parking facilities 4 parking bays to be precise on a first come.basis, but there is a parking place just round the corner which is very convenient.

A wonderful experienc at a great location near the river and to the city center. The food at the restaurant was really tasty with nice presentations and so. All of the staff we dealt were not only very helpful but friendly. The hotel has a nice timely appearance a lovely aged exterion.

Amazing place to visit!! We just went for coffee and cake, but had a great time watching others enjoy the amazing water activities! I can't wait to go back and try them myself.

Great place for a day out, food is great and atmosphere is really nice. Plenty of places to sit and some shelter especially in the hot weather if you have younger children. Great location and plenty of parking. Clean and ample facilities ie. Showers, bag storage, wetsuits are available but not a necessity, life jackets are provided and toilets. The children that love the water will have a great time. We do have one child age 10 that doesn’t have a lot of confidence with water and the aqua park climbing course is a bit daunting for him, so he doesn’t join in for long and when he’s waiting for his brother and friends to finish it is boring just sitting around, would be nice if there was a paddling pool for the younger children or play area. Expect queues for food/drink at busy times. Overall a great experience and great for a birthday party/Hen or stag do experience. I cannot comment on the hotel because this was a day trip.

We had a great day celebrating my daughters 13th birthday. We did the aqua park which was so well organised. We then all had food in the restaurant. We were a party of 10 and our food was amazing and all came out in good time though we did 3 orders. We will definitely come back again!!! Great birthday day out.

Came for Sunday breakfast,, brought grandmother with us as the food is always very good. However we had finished our meal and still no drinks served. Need to sort something out about the drinks. Waited, waited said to cancel the order and hay presto drinks turned up.

This place is absolutely amazing. We went to the waterpark and running past it today. We thought it must be the kids but we had the best time ever. The water pot was unreal. The food at the restaurant was unbelievable. Well presented the staff so professional and nice, I really recommend you guys coming here miya and Ellie were so good and made our experiencing unbelievable

I came to White Mills leisure Centre today to try and go wakeboarding which was booked over a month ago on the phone with one of their operators. I arrived today to find the booking had not been fulfilled as told by the staff member on the phone. Tried to find an alternative when I arrived on site, but the receptionist was unable to book in for what l'd already booked for on the phone. Having already travelled an hour and a half, I decided that it was best to turn around because they couldn't actually get me onto the experience that l have paid for and booked using a voucher that was gifted to me. I then called on the way back to try and arrange a refund to which I had to call at least 15 times because they were ignoring my phone calls and not responding to me. I got put through to the same receptionist that l dealt with at the centre itself who was unable to process a refund. She then passed me onto her manager Who described me as being abusive because I said that their facilities were poor which is obviously not true he then refused to refund as well because he said and I quote "I haven't booked an experience" which obviously is not my responsibility. If I call up the company and tell them I want to book an experience and they've said yes that's fine, That should be my point of responsibility finished. Anyway the manager was just argumentative the whole way through rather than understanding the situation and that l've driven an hour and a half to get there without being told that firstly the booking wasn't actually fulfilled by their phone operator and secondly that I needed to arrive at 10 am. He ultimately determined that I wasn't due a refund unless the owners agreed too, so I'm now in limbo waiting for a call from the owners of this whitemills centre and hopefully they will give me back my money I have earned myself and I'm rightly owed pack because at the end of the day I haven't been provided with the service I paid my money for. I will continue to blow up their online space and anywhere I can find trace of this company with poor reviews until my complaints Resolved I won't return to this place anyway even if I do get a refund it's quite tacky and looks very cheap. It's very kid orientated and personally I was pretty disappointed with the layout of the whole park. personally, if I was coming here even with a family I would prefer to go to howletts animal park which is just down the road and actually is where l ended up on on the day Ultimately this place needs to hire some staff who can operate their booking systems properly completely and accurately and not be relying on customers to check on their booking post calling the centre and having told that their booking is confirmed this is not a customer responsibility and is clearly a failure of the operation of this company I won't return to this place anyway even if I do get a refund it's quite tacky and looks very cheap. It's very kid orientated and personally I was pretty disappointed with the layout of the whole park. personally, if I was coming here even with a family I would prefer to go to howletts animal park which is just down the road and actually is where I ended up on on the day Ultimately this place needs to hire some staff who can operate their booking systems properly completely and accurately and not be relying on customers to check on their booking post calling the centre and having told that their booking is confirmed this is not a customer responsibility and is clearly a failure of the operation of this company Based on how this company has dealt with and responded to my complaint so far l am absolutely certain that they will deny any responsibility for this and probably continue to push against providing me a refund. I just want people to be aware of how this company is dealing with their customers before they consider purchasing a service from them in any case. I hope I'm proving wrong but based on how I dealt with as a customer so far, I don't believe that I will get my refund for a reasonable response from management or the owners.

Had a really good session in the inflatables as park of a stag do. Really good fun and we all felt like 12 year olds again. Would really recommend for kids and grown-up kids

The pizza is really delicious. Handmade pizza in the oven and with quality and local ingredients. We had 4 formagy, the burrata and margarita. Nice place to go with kids. Cozy and well decorated it. Staff very kind. The only negative bit is to have to eat wirh hands or wood cutlery

Kind of a strange place. Good food but you're sat on outdoor garden furniture under giant umbrellas indoors. Pizzas were disappointingly small, chilli oil should have just been called oil, but all in all can't complain given you're in the middle of nowhere. The gelato was definitely the highlight, as good as anything I've had including in Italy

Great fresh pizza and so nice to have a gluten free and diary free option which was also delicious. Very attentive and friendly staff, we wish they were local to us!!

Very relaxed family friendly eating space serving very tasty Pizza. Plates and cutlery are cardboard and wooden so just something to be aware of, it's very casual dining. Staff are friendly and helpful. You get a table buzzer to summon staff once you know what you want to order and if you need anything during the meal which is very convenient and saves you waving to make eye contact or going to the counter. There is a sofa area with games and books. The dining seating is not particularly comfortable as the cushions sink and you feel very low down from the table. We used all spare seat cushions on our table to bolster us up and we are reasonably tall people. Toilet was clean but there is only one for everyone so could get busy. All in all delicious food, takeaway and eat in is the same price. Casual, bit noisy, friendly. Probably not the place for a romantic dinner but great for bigger groups wanting a fun get together. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Always enjoyed a visit. Friendly team there and more importantly.. the pizza is incredible. Nice scenic walk after dinner with some Gelato too. Perfect.

The best pizza I've had outside of Italy. Gluten Free options are incredible. Kind and friendly staff 💯 Edit: The Drill Hall has become a regular haunt of mine, most recently hosting my Neice's birthday. 14 guests aswell as other tables being booked and not a single problem. The Staff couldn't have done a better job, the food was incredible as always and for the drinkers they have a wide variety of beers, wines and spirits including every Gin known to man.

quite quiet when we went about 4 on saturday but the staff were excellent and helpful ice cream was fantastic a real treat and iced coffee was most appreciated

Love this for a traditional pick your own place with great quality fruit. The prices seem steep if you compare to supermarket but the experience of picking and quality of the fruit makes it a really good value morning or afternoon family activity. Great cafe as well :-)

Wide variety of pumpkins and large field to squelch around in. Well thought out experience with activities for children in addition to pumpkin picking. Great choice of food outlets and awesome photo opportunities. It was our first time visiting and we will definitely be back next year!

Lovely place to visit with so much choice of fresh fruit to pick. The strawberries are under cover - so don’t let the weather change your plans! The whole site is clean, tidy and plenty of room for parking. It’s encouraging to see eco friendly tubs and packing used. The staff are friendly and helpful, plus a huge bonus they have a park, lots of benches and somewhere you can purchase hot and cold drinks, plus snacks etc.

Attended today for my partners birthday with her parents and were told we couldn’t share a pot as a couple, so her parents had to give up their pot so she could walk round with me and they had to wait at the cafe as they were told they weren’t allowed to walk through the strawberry field with us, I would highly recommend amending this rule as i can picture many families and couples having the same issue. This would’ve made all the difference in my review as we had a nice time would’ve been nice to share it with the rest of her family.

Honestly , if you can get out here. Do it! What amazing hospitality. I’m so happy I went today. A bit of everything for everyone. Children’s play park with ample amounts of toys and games for all. Highly recommended

Lovely place. We enjoyed this far more than we expected. Not just a pyo experience but things for the children 2 do and somewhere 2 get a cuppa. Highly recommend

All the fruit so good!! You pay for the fruit bowl of your preference you and then you fill it up with as much fruit you can put in. The fruit was so fresh, tasty and juicy! Only one thing: make it pet friendly, at least in the cafe area!

Great bistro for lunch in Sandwich! Tasty ingredients, quality homemade food and a chilled out vibe to the whole place. We stumbled upon the bistro really close to the Guildhall car park. It was perfect on a chilled out day celebrating someone's birthday. The historic building is nicely decorated, with the old windows bringing gorgeous light and breeze into the place. The seated area is on the first floor, although the deli counter downstairs would have some takeaway lunch options too. The food was all very yummy and there were lots of options. Luckily, our vegetarian and our gluten intolerant eaters even had lots to choose from for both savoury and desert courses. The server and owner were both friendly and went out of their way to be helpful without being imposing at all. Like, taking notice and providing dessert menus before we needed to ask and also finding the last of some homemade custard too. 10/10 would recommend. We would all happily come back here. Thank you!

Love from the 1st sight 🥰 love the building, decoration & product display to the best-ever baguette from crust to the filling. I have tried to ask the lady serving and it is French garlic saussage, so special⭐️. I would never forget Sandwich🌈

Altough there is nothing stopping me from crossing the border to France and enjoy their cuisine, I have found this gem of a place, which keeps me entertained with French cuisine and I appreciate the authentic flavors of France. Obviously, a french meal can never be complete without a glass of house white or red wine. On this occasion, I went for red, which complements nicely with the meat and cheese dish. If the word cosy had a physical attribute to it No Name Shop would be a perfect example. Although my work has kept at a distance, I shall make every effort to return to this magnificent place yet also for another authentic Pain au chocolat.

Good food & quick to arrive (total was £11.90 including the coffee)! Lovely cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. There is a shop downstairs where you can buy cheese, olives, jams, pastries etc 😄

I wanted to have a good sandwich in Sandwich. Melted toastie with braised lead and mushroom really hit the spot. This French bistro is a very pleasant place. I would recommend also cream brûlée from the counter in the shop downstairs

A quaint place with an interesting name, nice bakes and kind hosts. I had a baguette with vegan mozzarella and pesto and a chocolate croissant that were both quite tasty. Would definitely visit again to try the other sweet baked treats! Oh and, dogs are welcome and you can purchase puppocinos for them at this cosy joint!

Excellent and fresh bakery stuff Lovely laid back seating in the first floor and also some tables across the road. Nice place to have breakfast watching lazy traffic on a weekend morning.

For starters, anyone who complained about it being “overrun by locals” is just daft because that’s what makes a pub a pub in a town like this. I thought it added character to what would be a very quiet and possibly empty place. The service was great, we were welcomed and looked after from start to finish and to be honest it was great to hear the banter of the locals. The food served was delicious and served in a timely manner. The price for the two lunches inc drinks was under £20. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of life in your beautiful little town

Very quiet on a Sunday lunchtime. A nice pint of Shepherd Neame Masterbrew while I rested a short while while looking around this very historic little town.

Lovely old pub, under new management, both Jane and mick are a joy to be around. Have had several visits, food is fab, staff are lovely.

*Think twice before entering* It was around 7pm on a Saturday evening and we were outside the pub about to enter when we got ‘greeted’ by a vulgar ‘woman’ who turns out to be part owner of the place…She was swearing & making threats whilst we were simply standing there asking calmly for ANY drink (even just water) as we were really thirsty and everywhere else was closed. We were staying at a local hotel and not from the area so were shocked by this treatment. This ‘woman’ called out her husband and father who were unfortunately just as agressive, it’s no surprise they’re all related. I would say they seemed under the influence of certain substances HOWEVER after reading other reviews I’m now assuming it’s just their ‘character’. The pub should honestly be shut down for safety reasons.

I have never walked into a pub as a first timer/complete stranger and been made so welcome before. I felt like an old friend walking in after a short time away. Everyone wanted to know who I was and what my backstory was and even aided me in remembering stuff from over 50 years ago Such a nice place and will now be my first choice of place to visit next time I am in Sandwich. Thank you so much for your welcome and friendship.

If i could give a 0 or minus 5 i would . Absolutely disgusting place . Landlord and daughter is ridiculously rude obnoxious. Will never drink in here again . Diabolical customer service. Place was empty and I now know why. Went in to other surrounding pubs and all said we are not the first to have been treated so badly or experience the rudness of the landlord and daughter .

Popped in on a Saturday night not to late, karaoke going on. Quiet lively only had two pints . Thatchers cider £5 a pint. Trouble with leaving down south. Barman nice and friendly.

Attractive historic church now unexpectedly hosting a community hub and perhaps the country's most unusual charity shop. The building has been well preserved, and it's possible to ascend the medieval tower for a charge of £3.50, offering good views over the town. The majority of the church building seen today dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The distinctive onion dome decoration, characteristic of churches in this region, was added in the 17th century. The church has a light airy feel inside, with high ceilings, elegant windows and some impressive carved recesses for tombs of wealthy townspeople.

Located in the centre of town, St Peter's church is a lovely place to pop in and enjoy its cafe and gardens. There is often a charity market. You can also climb up the belfry to have a breathtaking view on the town of Sandwich. The church is open 10 am - 3 pm. The church entry is free but to climb up the belfry you should pay £3.50. P.S. I try to share specific information. If the review was useful, put 👍. I don't get any "goodies", but other tourists will see this review first. Have a good mood and exciting travels!🌍☀️🪂

Great place that holds community events visited St Peters Bell Tower had great views at the top, over sandwich etc and was nice seeing the bells inside the tower

Just £3.50 to climb the tower what a great experience! Really fun to stand next to the bells when they chime. I only wish I had gone at midday. And what a view from the top. Not to be missed if you are in the area.

The church exterior is very interesting as it is composed of flint, stone, brick and rubble. Together they combine to make a very appealing structure. Inside the building, which ceased to be a working church soon after WWII, is well utilised and is a centre of the community. The graveyard is kept beautifully and has seating and attractive plantings

Charity shop in the church, with friendly volunteers. Bought 4 books (and was going to buy none...). For a few £s you can climb the stairs to the top platform, where you have a lovely 4-direction view over Sandwich & surroundings.

This is a lovely church well worth visiting!! It is very old and thanks to the villagers of Sandwich who saved it from neglect!! If you want a tour of the tower they do them on certain days and times!! Very atmospheric!!

A bird observatory with an extensive nature reserve attached, although not as one continuous area. Well worth a visit during migration. Has a small shop and did cups of tea. Parking for about 16 cars(?). You do have to pay to get onto the private road to the Observatory but all details are on their website

Had a fantastic day there for the migration watch. Very helpful staff and a wonderful location

They have an arrangement with the Sandwich Bay Estate re the toll. If you are just going to the reserve it’s £1. We were also offered a ticket for £5 which would let us drive through. Entry to the reserve is free, you can give a donation and there’s a shop. Go on a walk Sounds like you never know what you’ll see but you could see lots or things you wouldn’t expect. A couple of weeks and they expect hundreds of goldcrests. Owls were seen this morning. Steffan, Site Manager, led our walk. We didn’t go far in our hour but heard and saw a few birds and he gave us tips on where to see things on the reserve and generally. We’ll be back.

What a wonderfully peaceful place to visit for a walk and to watch the birds. The volunteer at the Field Centre was helpful and knowledgeable, and gave us a good walking route to follow. It was an incredibly peaceful place with zero traffic noise apart from the odd car that passed along the toll road. The Scrape was my favourite area, a lake with two well equipped and comfortable hides. The other bird watchers were friendly and happy to share their knowledge. You have to pay £1 for the toll road (£5 if you want to continue along it to Deal), if you are not a member. Will definitely be back!

Took a long time to find this place, very poor signage. Once at the visitors centre there was no one to welcome us or suggest how we could view birds. The only sign indicated a hide some considerable distance away. I love spotting birds but I can't walk very long distances. This centre could improve considerably.

Amazing events! The moth evenings are great for children as are the guided wildlife walks every Friday and Sunday. Their Open Day on August bank holiday is always a highlight of our year. Classes in the winter also for people wanting to learn more about the natural world. Really recommend the Wildflower and Bee identification courses when they run them oh and the bat walks! Otherwise just a great place to have a wander to see birds, orchids, insects and all wildlife really. The field centre volunteers are really friendly and happy to point you in the right direction for walks. These can be found on OS map app too. Visiting their reserve Restharrow Scrape is a must, especially if you're into photography or just want to connect with nature. At only £1 at the toll gate it's a bargain too!

Knowledgeable staff and well stocked visitor shop. We left with lots of bird food for our garden feeders! Unfortunately due to covid restrictions the hides are closed but work has been done to ensure viewing platforms are available.

Great bar and we chanced upon the place when they had a band on on a Saturday afternoon. Lovely pint of Guinness. Would have been 5 stars but just before 5pm they ran out of Guinness. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and that shows a severe lack of management. Can imagine that there will be quite a few disappointed tonight with the next band on and even more tomorrow on Paddy's Day.

Superb breakfast, the food was excellent, on time, hot and exceptionally tasty. The young lady serving was attentive, fast, polite, friendly, efficient and very friendly. Congratulations for having such a wonderful lady taking care of the customer. I have recommended it to my family, my friends and my colleagues. Thank you Nigel Clarke

Just popped in for a drink on Sunday but the staff were so lovely that we thought we would chance it and have lunch. Really glad we did it was fabulous, hot and tasty(cauliflower cheese was to die for), well cooked vegetables, big portions of meat, lashings of gravy. Couldn’t fault it at all. Couple of great beers on tap and the wine was good. The bill was excellent as well! Very good value for money. Sandwich you are very lucky, this place is a hidden gem.

Great pub in the centre of Sandwich. Simple but well cooked food menu that caters for all tastes and needs. The welcome is warm and sincere even on the quietest of lunch times. My party and I were made to feel as if it were our local!! Will not hesitate to visit again when we're back in the area.

Clean and welcoming with old but well decorated rooms. Very accomodating for us with our dog, staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very tasty and portions were good. Sandwich itself is a perfect getaway destination for a weekend away.

Very pleasant experience on our one night midweek stay. Our room, although plain and simple, was really clean and had everything we needed. Bed was really comfy. Plenty of Tea and coffee provided as well. Our only issue was that the shower mixer tap was very stiff and difficult to turn off. This was raised when booking out and taken on board to be dealt with. Would have been 5 stars but unfortunately the chef had an injury so no evening meals were available. The breakfast though was excellent. Huge and perfectly cooked. Really nice. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed at the Fleur de lis last Saturday night. I came to see the Black Roze album launch. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. The room was quite warm, and a fan would have been beneficial,but it was exceptionally warm that weekend. I had an awesome night, and there was a lovely breakfast in the morning. Thanks to all the staff,I would stay here again 🙂

Good food, nice staff, nice atmosphere. Good value

The best thai I’ve had in the UK, amazing seafood dishes too and the crispy fish with curry sauce is divine. Lovely and spicy and fragrant. The service is very friendly and their thai wine goes really well with the food. Love it!!

Been to Thailand three times and this is lovely and authentic, great price. I enjoyed the Penang curry so much 🌟

Whilst it’s fresh in my memory from our dining experience this evening. Everything was just ok The Thai ladies didn’t manage a smile whilst serving and collecting plates. Tried to engage but it felt they were just going thru the motions. The young English server was polite and somewhat more engaging. The starter was ok as was my main. Nothing from the service to the door would make be go back again. Sandwich itself is nice and always has a lovely feel to it and looks to have Plenty of choice now to eat and drink

Very noisy atmosphere. We were seated in a corner facing the walls. Waiters were very rude and impatient. They charged us 4 pounds too much, and got a blank receit. Do not eat here unless you REALLY like Thai food. Not recommended.

Rude grumpy staff. Half hour late for table. Dirty plate. It a great way to celebrate first wedding anniversary .

Visited first time will be my favourite for ever Best Thai food you can get in Uk, if you are in or around sandwich you shouldn't miss it, Thank will see you chef and suvarnabhoom soon.

We went to the Blue Pigeon today for a Sunday lunch. The venue looked amazing. We sat and listened to the pianist playing, having a drink before we went through to our table. The food was delicious , we all had starters with a roast beef and pork, there were other options on the menu, including children’s menu. Just about managed to squeeze in a gorgeous dessert with multiple choices of ice creams. The staff were all very polite throughout. If you haven’t been we would highly recommend a visit. 🤩

A hidden gem! Simply stunning, the detail in everything is faultless! The food is exquisite, a level rarely found, taste, quality and presentation outstanding. The staff are very personable and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The bed is super comfortable and the pillow was so amazing that I had to look at the brand - to order my own.

Superb relaxing lunch on the terrace. The menu is short and all the better for it, 4 choices for each course but choosing was still difficult. We were served by the wonderful Donna who is charming and professional in equal measure. The Blue Pigeons is a brilliant addition to the local restaurant and restaurant with rooms scene.

Everything about the Blue Pigeon is simply wonderful. The restaurant has been redecorated the highest standard. The outdoor garden absolutely magnificent. However...I ordered cod and it tasted rubbery and not falling apart the way freshly caught fish does. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL considering the price tag it comes with. The portion was skimpy too👎 Won't go back❌️

We loved this hotel so much we stopped again on our return home from France for our final treat. We have been in the smallest and the largest rooms and they are all beautifully decorated with lovely details especially the bathroom in the Lilly suite. We had a fantastic meal in the restaurant and the next day there is a good choice of fresh produce for breakfast. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would recommend anyone going over to France to stop here first

Beautifully renovated with charming decor and some lovely small ‘extra’ touches, what made our stay truly special was the quality of the food and the friendly, attentive but not intrusive service. Most strongly recommended; we will definitely return. Sir Andrew Gregory KBE CB DL

Lovely bank holiday Monday lunch on the patio. The Blue Pigeons is under new ownership and they’ve done a wonderful job to restore and update the building. The cooking is superb and the 3 course lunch at £35 excellent value, service was a highlight with the lovely Donna professional and personable in equal measure. This will quickly become a local favourite as well as a weekend destination.

My partner had her 40th birthday meal there set up by her parents and with the very helpful help of the staff. The food we had was excellent and I couldn't fault it. My partner and her parents thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The staff were excellent not just to ourselves also to the locals who came in for a friendly chat and pint. I can honestly say I will be going back not just because the food was excellent but also for the local banter and ambience it offers.

4 of us visited on recommendation (from Delf Farm) for Sunday lunch . The premises were busy, yet the configuration of almost individual dining areas , meant we did not feel crowded. Service , presentation and food were of the highest standard. Dietary needs were clearly understood by all the staff and attended too.

Never had a bad meal here. A great place for a leisurely lunch with friends or a Sunday feast with the grandparents. Very accommodating for large groups and children. Vegetarian options are good and all portions will satisfy most appetites. Heartily recommended.

We had a main meal here in the afternoon (steak and ale pie and a chicken kebab). The food was very good with generous size portions. Prompt friendly service. This traditional old pub is set in a beautiful village with a duck pond. We walked there and back from Eastry (4miles).

Very nice looking pub. Childrens play area very dated and we was told there was a bounce castle which I didn't see. Roast was nice but swimming in gravy which unfortunately made the very nice looking Yorkshire pudding super soggy which is not pleasant. Gravy was very nice. Potatoes really good. Meat was ok and veg was nice. Stuffing probably worst iv ever had, dry and really not nice.

Nice little pub in Worth near Sandwich Kent, parked in the pub car park when I visited the RSPB reserve nearby but do ask before doing so. Staff were friendly and the serve food.

Had a drink in the lovely country garden. Very friendly service and great atmosphere. Decor is tasteful comfortable and cosy with dark colours and low lighting.

Only nipped in for a drink before I got my train as was drawn to the history and location of The Crispin Inn. The lovely lady who served me was so welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous pub with a great selection and the music was brilliant! Great views from window seats of all angles of the historic town. Cannot wait to come back!

Dropped in for a quick bite to eat and had a great lunch. The Nachos and the Smash Burger were superb. Great food and great service at the Crispin - Good atmosphere and very easy to make new friends in this pub. Well worth a visit if you are passing.

Perfect service perfect meals very friendly staff time waiting for food spot on meant food freshly cooked

The Chef knows hist stuff! Loved the katsu curry! And the waitress was so welcoming and efficient.

Had a fantastic meal at the St. Crispin’s Inn in Sandwich. Been here around 5-6 times now and always great quality so finally got round to doing a review as they deserve it. The pub has a great cosy feel, and the staff are always really friendly and attentive. I had the steak on this occasion which was beautiful and full of flavour. Portion sizes always generous. I also love the drinks selection, with some good local ales and wines. Overall, great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere – I’d definitely recommend it and I will be going back. Enjoy

We enjoyed our final holiday evening in the pub with a meal and a few scoops. The young lady on the bar and waiting on was so friendly and helpful and was clearly an asset to the company. She went out of her way to tend to our needs with a 3 year old in tow. I had a sunday roast and the beef was a little tough but very tasty. We asked for extra veggies which was no problem at all for the chef to provide. The craic with the locals at the bar was also top drawer. A lovely older lady who used to be a landlady had plenty of time for conversation. Would recommend 👌

My wife and I popped in for dinner last night for our anniversary we was greeted and seated quickly. My wife tried the new lemoncello spritz which she loved and myself a pint of Harvey's. Pub was lively and staff was very helpful and attentive. We had the nachos and brisket to start this is a must have! For mains We had the pork belly and mushroom risotto and they were superb! Finished off with a lovely chocolate brownie and ice cream. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back! A big thank you for making our evening so special, compliments all round 😊

Amazing food, fantastic staff. Our table had a Nut allergy and Celiac, food was ordered off the main menu and prepared to suit individual needs, kids pizza was super cute.

What a great find! Stopped for lunch while walking the Coastal Path. Super friendly staff, excellent pizza and great beer. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

What a great little place. Fantastic food, good music that's not too loud, relaxed helpful staff. Decent cans of IPA too! All very cool. Loved it.

First visit, but won't be our last. Excellent and tasty pizza, washed down with a few cold beers, finished with an ice cream.

The pizzas were lovely. No probs. BUT in the daytime, the interior is too dark by contrast and the light coming in from the huge doors blinds you if you're sitting facing them. You can't see your fellow diners faces. Bit awks!!!

Our reenactment group was in Sandwich over the weekend for an event nearby the Drill Hall. After setting up on the Friday we were famished, and someone recommended the Drill Hall for pizza. We popped over and ordered 7 pizzas; it was already quite late in the evening and fairly busy, but the staff were very accommodating!! We came back a bit later to collect the pizzas and honestly it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Another chap in our group is half Italian and he said it was the best pizza he’d ever had in the uk. Brilliant food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time we’re in Sandwich!! Cheers guys :)

Exceptional pizza—super thin and crisp crust with tasty toppings. Also have nice ice creams. The space is a bit weird, but with such great food and decent service who cares!

A hidden gem. We visited on a Sunday morning and have gone past this place many many times. What an interesting museum. The guide that took us into the 16th century courtroom was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If you fancy a small but interesting slice in stepping back in time, definitely spend half an hour in here!

What a wonderful museum! Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The gentleman who gave us an impromptu private tour was so informative and funny too, it was one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Kent, highly recommend!

Oh my goodness, what a lovely little museum! The gentleman in the entrance was amazing, a very knowledgeable fellow. To be honest, his voice was lovely and soothing; I could’ve listened to him all day! The lady that’s there was a delight to talk with about the local history too. She was so kind and engaging, my friend and I learnt a great deal! It’s free to enter as well; the courtroom there was beautiful. The stained glass window was captivating. Please come to Sandwich, and to this museum, you’ll realise how important Sandwich was in the past.

Small but absolutely amazing museums. We received some unique information from one of the museum guides. Museum is free for everyone. I highly recommend to visit and spend there a half hour.

A hidden gem in the heart of Sandwich! The Guildhall Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the town’s rich history, and we were especially grateful to Eileen for her warm welcome and generous time. She had a brilliant way of making the area’s history engaging and relatable – thank you, Eileen, for making our visit so memorable.

It is free to enter. Well worth half an hour of your time if in town. A small but interesting collection on the history of the town to see first. Then a short escorted visit to the courtroom, which dates back to the 16th century.

Helpful guides and a museum showing historical artefacts from the local area; all housed in the most beautiful building. A real treasure trove! And it's free!

I can finally say I've had a Sandwich in Sandwich. As the home of Sandwiches it's surprising there's only 1 sandwich shop. Well this is the best one in town. Check out the menu and join the club. They close at 5pm latest so don't wait. We had the Earl of Sandwich and The Farm House. Both were exquisitely made. Recommended.

Well placed to be a world famous sandwich shop but wish I hadn't gone. High price, generous servings of disappointment, and tight on fillings. £7.80 for a prawn Marie rose with less prawn than a Tesco's sarnie. A ham sandwich with 1 slice of mediocre ham. Major let down. Could be great there.

Lovely sandwich shop where sandwiches are made to order, come with a side salad and coleslaw, and nicely presented. We sat outside in the market square as it was a sunny day and can't fault this place. Had a coffee to compliment the sandwich and it's not overpriced at all. Will certainly recommend and visit if in the area again.

For a sandwich shop in Sandwich you’d expect decent sandwiches! Don’t bother going here it’s a tourist trap. Bread was cheap and nasty, prawn sandwich was dripping with water and salad hadn’t been washed I could taste the chemicals on it. Rubbish.

Lovely little tea rooms overlooking the square Friendly staff

Fab café! Been here a few times whilst visiting Sandwich from outside the area. Good choice of food and also offer gluten free which is great for me as I'm gluten intolerant and visited with a friend yesterday who has coeliac disease. The food is lovely, well presented and good value. Staff are always polite & friendly. Also in a nice location by Guildhall and you can sit inside or out. My go-to café in Sandwich 😊

Too busy for their own good waited 37 mins for an beef and horseradish sandwich and a cheese and ham toasty Glass supplied for ginger beer not clean

I didn't pay for a table for me and my wife and our friends to sit and look at some fat birds arse all night won't be going back.

This church is one of two in Sandwich that are no longer used for their original purpose. It has been given over to wedding receptions, exhibitions, shows and craft fairs etc. It is much more spacious inside than the entrance suggests. There are many original features such as stain glass windows, lectern and burial stones. No parking other than fee paying car park opposite, or street parking slightly further away. There is a kitchen area and toilets and stage.

An interesting use of a church the arts shows are well worth a visit as original picture and prints available

Attended evening concert 'The Power of Three' by Classical Sandwich Festival. Church still retains its serenity although no longer used for its original purpose. Very well maintained.

I visited as the church was the venue to celebrate my niece's wedding. The church is very old but well maintained and could suit a variety of events.

A really lovely venue for a special occasion. Sean Matthews a great help in booking and making the most of the facilities there. Just a pity that the owners will not allow the local community to raise money to improve everything. It could be an absolute gem.

Went to. Christmas crafts fair there. Lots of space for stalls and a good variety of items for sale. Stall holders were very friendly and helpful

Founded around 1595, this felt like a quintessential British pub. Food was great and plenty of beers on tap along with some hand pull options. Friendly atmosphere and a comfortable setting - a must visit if you find yourself in Sandwich!

Truly lovely staff greeted me when I chose to nip in for a wee beer, whilst ambling the gorgeous streets of Sandwich. A welcoming environment with a wide selection of drinks to soak in the historic atmosphere. They are also an hotel and will definitely be back, likely as a hotel guest!!

Absolutely amazing food & service. Highly recommend for a Sunday Roast. The garden is so beautiful! (I asked for gravy on the side but it does come with gravy and it’s delicious and veg is on the side)

What lovely service and hospitality tonight. Nothing was a problem and it was very easy and relaxed. Safe Covid measures in place at the moment without being too fussy or invasive. Had a lovely meal with friends and we all had a unhurried meal in comfort and a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Would recommend the fillet steak! Book in advance to avoid disappointment!

A lunchtime visit and quick snack. large menu seems available. Tastey sandwiches and well presented with side salad, and tortilla chips. Excellent chips as a side order. Large outside area and garden.

Wow !!!!! What a wonderful afternoon at the Kings Arm . Twice we had to cancel our birthday meal due to daughter and grandchildren having Omicron. Extremely lucky to have the cosy back room to ourselves . Extremely well looked after throughout our meal nothing was to much bother. Pub was beautifully clean we could not have wished for more staff excellent . Food was excellent always is perfectly cooked with love . Everyone chose a different meal which thoroughly enjoyed . Empty plates from all the adults and grandchildren tried the best to get through their meal. Deserts is something I don’t normally have but the New York cheese cake with coulis and ice cream was not to say no to . Thank you to the Kings Arm ‘s for a fantastic time we had and gorgeous fresh cooked food . First time we have visited since new owners have taken over . So pleased Kirsty is still employed she has worked there for 17 years and the lovely young fair haired man . A new chef has been put in place , well I must say it has been a truly wonderful experience at the Kings Arms . Lovely warm greeting on arrival and allowed to dine in our favourite room ( the secret room ) . Nothing is to much trouble and Kirsty told us the history of the hotel and her personal experiences . Our food was cooked to perfection no complaints whatsoever. Husband Scottish steak cooked just how he likes it and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. I had beef lasagne with tomatoes around the edges of dish ( superb never tasted anything like this before) and salad . Desert apple crumble for my husband , one scoop of vanilla ice cream and one of chocolate with chocolate sauce and a flake. Lovely glass of rose’ for myself and a lager for my husband . Definitely will be back with my family . Highly recommended one not to miss .

Lovely old pub. Dog friendly and with reasonably priced rooms. Great pie too.

Absolutely fabulous! Some of best tapas we have ever had. They had some large tables but were so kind about the wait and we couldn’t be happier! The carrot tapas was sensational - how did they make carrots taste SO good? Could recommend more 10/10

A wonderful evening of Tapas! We dined here and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The tapas is delicious, beautifully presented and perfectly portioned. The staff were attentive and super friendly. They have a fabulously cosy lounge bar and a light and airy restaurant. We can’t wait to go back and try the mains! Highly recommend 😊

the best coffee in the whole world! food is delicious, you can tell its cooked to order, amazing service from Josh. the ambience gives you warm feeling like you are in your own home. super clean and well presentable restaurant.

Delicious 3 course meal. Excellent vegetarian options. Fabulous food. One tiny down side was that service was a little slow, we weren't asked if we'd like drinks for almost ten minutes, but once ordered the food and drink arrived promptly. Luckily we had plenty to chat about so it didn't ruin our evening and the food was definitely worth the wait.

Absolutely amazing Sunday roast! The service is really great and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. Their tapas selection is always amazing. The food is delicious and well thought out.

Another lovely find in Sandwich! My wife and I dropped in for a meal and received a friendly welcome and were seated quickly. Menus were perused and choices made whilst our drinks made their way out to us. My wife's coffee was sublime and my cider choice was perfect. Our food arrived promptly (a pork belly burger and a cheeseburger) and was far better looking than my photos show. More importantly it tasted magnificent! Really good quality food in a generous portion. The staff were attentive but not over bearing which made us feel cared for and not harassed. We both decided on pudding although we were stuffed from the main course. My wife had the poached pear and I had the sticky toffee pudding. Again, it was served promptly and was sublime! We had a wonderful time here and would recommend it to all. Well done the hop & huffkin

A Lovely Vibe This restaurant has a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. Full of customers from every age group enjoying a relaxing evening. The staff were attentive & friendly. I ordered a hot chocolate, which arrived promptly, steaming hot & absolutely delicious. A lovely place to spend the evening.......

Dropped in today for a little something to eat. We chose fish and chips, saveloy and chips with portion of battered mushrooms. Wow size of the Fish and it had no skin and the batter was crunchy crispy, portion size is value for money, amazing place to eat and the staff super friendly. Will defo be back 100% but we will share next time 😆

Large haddock and chips for £11.50 is a bargain, everything was beautifully cooked to perfection. My only issue was the waiting time in the restaurant area which could do with a spruce up, as it looks like it's stuck in the 70s regardless everything was clean and tidy. We waited a while for our food as takeaway customers were served first despite coming in after. Overall I couldn't fault the food and this could be one of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

Simply the best fish and chips I have eaten. Small place and very inexpensive. Coming from across the Atlantic I have never seen such large portions.

Incredible!!!! Amazing service, Boyd is amazing and works so hard. The food is great especially the vegetarian options the burger and sausages are awesome and it’s cooked fresh so quickly! Amazing spot to grab some local fish and chips and relax, recommend please visit if close by!!!!

My husband and I called in Ossies for fish and chips in Sandwich today (24/9/25) and WOW what a find !! Fantastic fish & chips the best we have had for years, very generous portions freshly cooked, the way they used to be years ago when we were kids, Well done guys you should run a school for fish & chips and show others how to perform.

Great little Fish and Chip shop and restaurant in the centre of Sandwich. Really enjoyed the freshly cooked fish and chips and cups of tea. A very friendly greeting and attentive service given by all the staff was really nice. A good price and good choice of other food and drinks. Very clean and tidy with a good view with lots of natural light coming through the window with a nice nautical decor. Lots of shops nearby by to visit and a short walk from the restaurant will have you down by the quayside for a pleasant stroll by the river. The main car park is also very close by with toilet facilities, all easy to get to and around.

Wow! Best fish and chips I have ever eaten in my life! And the portions, massive! Mushed peas, is a must. We've had the vegan burger as well, which was veery tasty. The complete food is definitely made with love and tailored to perfection. Totally recommended!

Friendly service and speedy. Cosy nice decor. Sadly the sauces/ chutneys provided with the poppadum were uneatable. Not a good first introduction to the food. Was very excited to try the food after reading the reviews but left underwhelmed. The curry sauces were distinctly average. .

All the dishes we ordered were super delicious. We had seabas- paneer-chicken- kebabs- here’s rice- daal and various other dishes. The service was fast and the food came out hot. There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed the food and of course the drinks. Highly recommended this restaurant if you are visiting Dover or living in the area.

Great restaurant. They even made me a special desert for my birthday. The quality of the meat and fish are very high. The staff were really friendly. I highly recommend.

I was rather disappointed with the food. Even the dips for the poppadoms were very runny and no salad/onion with it. The main course I had was Chicken Dansak and there was very little chicken in the dish! It was mostly sauce and not very spicy. Many items seemed like there were pureed. I would not recommend this restaurant for food. The staff were friendly.

The food was ok and luke warm nothing special compared to other authentic indian cuisine. Service was relatively good at the beginning, and food came out super quick and was cleared quickly too. No one checked on us following the table being cleared. Not asked if we would have liked more drinks or dessert. We would have stayed but the service wasn't where it needed to be.

One of the best indian restaurants I've been to! The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere and decor are lovely. Will 100 percent be visiting again. Worth every penny!

Absolutely excellent local Indian. Been last 2 nights and already booked again. Quality food . Some good suggestions from the staff. A MUST try !

Beautiful, peaceful and well kept nature reserve. Flat and easy to walk around with a lovely duck pond to sit by. Spent about an hour wandering round on a sunny Sunday morning and will definitely return (with bread for the ducks next time)

I recently visited this stunning nature reserve and was genuinely impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. The walking trails were well-maintained and clearly signposted, making it easy to explore without feeling lost. I saw a variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance, which made the experience even more memorable. There are plenty of quiet spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings, and the mix of woodland, wetlands, and open fields kept things interesting throughout the walk. It’s a great place for photography, family outings, or just a solo escape into nature. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some fresh air. Highly recommended for nature lovers or anyone needing a break from city life.

Beautiful scenery, lots of parking and the trails are all clearly marked. Very difficult to get lost as all the trails lead you back to the entrance

Very nice place to walk in nature. The day we visited there were lots of volunteers working on maintaining the reserve, and I appreciate their efforts.

I didn't get very far in as I was just killing time but I did sit on the most comfortable bench I have ever sat in. 10/10 would sit in nature on the comfy bench again.

This is the most amazing natural space. And truly a hidden jewel in Sandwich. For peace in nature, this is your place.

A real hidden gem , very well signposted trails and a lake with friendly ducks and plenty of benches, no dogs allowed due to the various wildlife that lives there .

I had a piece of artwork framed here. It was fabulous. I was over the moon with the result. I will definitely return with any other framing requirement. Update: I have used Val again for a framing requirement. Another brilliant result.

Excellent Service from start to finish. Val could not have been more helpful and accommodating in resolving a problem with a picture frame that I had. Would highly recommend her.

Great work framing a very old, large, and battered film poster for our daughter. Competitive pricing and great service. Good to support local business. Would highly recommend.

Great service and very knowledgeable

A beautiful gallery with some outstanding work on display!

Wonderful gallery in Sandwich, Michaels art is truly breathtaking in person.

Favourite gallery ever, must see art!

Visited the gallery just before Christmas and got to say it was a wonderful experience the Artwork on display is quite simply stunning. If you’re ever down Sandwich way pop in and see the collection, you’ll be glad you did.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent work! A must-see if you're in Dover. Joseph Sevier's gallery and exceptional works are just a short drive away in the lovely little town of Sandwich. (Original) Magnifique travail! A voir absolument si vous débarquez à Douvres. La galerie et les œuvres exceptionnelles de Joseph Sevier sont à découvrir, à quelques minutes de route, dans la très jolie petite ville de Sandwich.

Well... I'd been on a long 13 mile hike/walk from Deal to and around Sandwich area. I missed the hourly train back to Deal, so, I wanted a coffee and cake ideally. Had a quick check on Google and chose 'Goats that Dance' as a place to try. Albeit a small place, very amenable staff, and I really enjoyed the coffee and lemon drizzle cake. So much so I had to rush back to the Sandwich railway station with 1 minute to spare!

This place is great! Brilliant coffee (the best I've had in a while) and from a local coffee roaster too, in Deal. Megan was so friendly and welcoming it was a treat. Sitting is available inside and over the lane in the churchyard too. Simple menu but, for us, everything we wanted. Loved the individuality of the cafe, even down to the beautiful coffee spoons. Couldn't fault a thing - well done!!! Next time in Sandwich this is a must.

What a fabulous little cafe. Great coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely stop in when you're in Sandwich. Super friendly staff.

It's a great place to grab a coffee and a piece of cake. It feels like you're in your lounge at home. Quirky, intimate and chilled. The coffee is lovely. I had a soya caramel latte and it was smooth and strong... perfect! The cakes and scones look scrumptious although I didn't order any. There is a dog ice cream too! They have a takeaway window for when you are on the hop and it all feels lovely and old-school. There is plenty of outdoor seating in the churchyard opposite for the sunny days, and you can order inside and they'll bring it out to you. We will be back!

An independent business serving lovely coffee. Small but friendly and definitely would return Had a sausage muffin also which was good.

Today my sister and I went to this lovely little café. It was there first day but it was an amazing experience. The cake was delicious. The new owners are verry kind. Dogs are welcome and there will be a threat waiting for them.

In the heart of Sandwich, nestled away in a quiet section of the centre, is a charming and pleasant coffee shop with a vibrant and eccentric atmosphere. Appears to be a popular spot for residents and tourists alike to socialise and meet new people. Extremely progressive and tolerant in appearance, displaying LGBT flags and permitting dogs within, (and goats if you have one). Tl;dr: Good café, good coffee, and good people.

Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. Excellent vegan options and God retro music. I'll be back.

The service was professional, friendly staff and the inviting atmosphere was amazing. My husband and the kids raved about the burgers. I highly recommend this place and we are definitely coming back.

Over on holiday from Australia and ended up dining at Hays Shack 3x in 3 weeks. Food was delicious and came out quickly and the milkshakes were to die for 😍 The staff were all incredibly friendly and it was a lovely local family run business, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Great place to eat, food is always fresh and tasty. They cater for gluten free with their own GF fryer and prep area. Don’t pass this place up you will regret it!

In the words of my 3 year old “this was the best day ever. Especially with the burger in my tummy” Fantastic food and very reasonably priced for the portion sizes. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the general vibes were very chill. Will definitely be coming back!

Response: I entirely understand it was busy and I appreciate the great food we’ve had in the past and do apologise for the fact a review hadn’t been given before, like I did state it is normally really good, but I had to put it out there how disappointing it was and the fact it was a near complete waste of over £30 besides the milkshake, which I hope you can appreciate is very frustrating as like you said yourself it is normally lovely. The nuggets them selves were inedible and the chips were cold and stale, so unfortunately it warranted a review as for such a small and basic order and even with it being busy, it shouldn’t of been delivered like that especially for the price I paid. Hope you understand my frustration. Really disappointed tonight, spent over £30 for 2 kids meals and 2 milkshakes for it to take over an hour to be delivered, then for the food to arrive lukewarm and stale. Only decent thing was the milkshakes and you’d hope so for nearly £6 each. Called and asked if the delivery driver had the extra dip I ordered to be told he packed it and knew he didn’t put it in. Normally really good but genuinely feels like a complete waste of money tonight.

The food was great and really large portions at reasonable prices. They have loads of great vegan and non-vegan options. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and kind. The overall experience was amazing. Highly recommend.

The Strand Street Kitchen and Bar is a charming, small establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating options. On a recent visit, 21/09/24- I found the atmosphere cosy, though somewhat uncomfortable due to the intense air conditioning, which not only made the space cold but also cooled down our food rather quickly. Service-wise, it was a bit of a wait—about 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our meals. I can understand that they were busy, but the wait felt unusually long. I ordered the ham, eggs, and chips along with a Coke, the chips were over cooked but the ham was delicious. My husband opted for the chicken wrap, which, surprisingly, didn’t come with any sides like a salad garnish or chips. He also had a milkshake, which was pretty average, nothing special. After waiting for a considerable time and finishing our cold meals, we decided to leave fairly quickly as the chilly environment made it hard to linger. Overall, while the place has a nice vibe, unfortunately, I won’t be returning or recommending it. See attached pictures of the menu and our meals.

We dropped in for coffee and cake. Delicious cake and huge portions! Very helpful staff. The tea was fantastic too; a proper nice brew! Would definitely recommend.

Went to sandwich for a day out and found this place was highly rated. Sandwich is not that big of a place, and we got to Strand street in a couple minutes from the quay car park. We both got a sandwich (Fish fingers and tartare sauce / Sausage and chutney) which were fantastic and very flavourful. Would definitely recommend both, but the sausage and chutney is what I would get again. They didn't have an allergy menu to hand but they were very accommodating. One of us is dairy intolerant and they swapped the butter for an alternative, so this was great service. All the staff were friendly and the food/drink came out quickly. On a hot day they have a few tables out the front, but they were all full when we arrived. Would definitely go back

Had breakfast here. After 5 minutes sitting waiting on the terrace, spotted a small sign telling customers to order at a window. Spent 3 minutes being studiously ignored there before order was taken. Had to pay before seating again, weirdly. Ordered the 'no fuss' breakfast for £9 and a cappuccino in addition. Breakfast couldn't have the advertised hash browns as they were 'busier than usual'. The eggs were fairly anemic and only warm. Bacon was barely cooked. Just enough colour to say it wasn't raw, but really unappetising and didn't get eaten. Sausages were decent. But on the whole, it was below par. Coffee was mediocre. They apologised a number of times and explained they were overrun that day. But the place was only half full, so I would say this is a staffing issue, and they might be better getting another pair of hands in the kitchen to make sure they're putting out breakfasts that are of a decent quality. The younger of the two servers that day was friendly and nice though. On the whole it falls below what I would want and can get elsewhere and nearby for the money (the haven down the road is excellent). Otherwise this is a nice location, with a pretty terrace and it's a nice building, so I hope they do a little better with the food quality in future. But the experience I had this week left little to recommend returning, sadly.

Our 1st visit and very impressed. We were their first customers today and received a warm welcome. Great coffee, generous cake and exceptional sausage & black pudding roll. Congratulations to their chef and thanks to their charming and helpful staff member. Will return for their sausage, chorizo & manchego roll; can't wait.

Delicious sandwiches in the heart of Sandwich!! For obvious reasons, we had to have sandwiches while visiting the town. The menu had a lot of delicious options and everything was so reasonably priced! We ordered three sandwiches and they did take a while (~30 mins) to arrive but they were worth the wait! They also had vegetarian options and gluten free bread - which makes the food accessible to everyone. Great strong teas as well, you get not one but two teabags in your mug!

The best fry up and smash burger we have ever had (not exaggerating), great portion sizes, good selection and very good for Gluten Free. Mia and Honey were brilliant - quick service, very good with my allergy and sooo polite and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough!! Thank you!!

Absolutely fantastic meal last Friday.The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for the Chefs. We all enjoyed 3 courses. Starters: Tempura chicken, Calamari and a Scallop & King prawn dish. For main: Cod for one, Rib eye steak for other 3 of us (all cooked to perfection) with chips and accompaniments. For dessert: Brownie for 2, Peanut butter ice cream and lastly a Profiteroles. A sublime meal, would highly recommend!! Compliments to the Chefs again!!

I came here to celebrate my partners birthday after many recommendations and promises of excellent food from friends and locals alike. I phoned in advance and, speaking to the chef, arranged for my partner to have roast partridge, a favourite of hers, which was served with seasonal vegetables and a red berry jus. The food was truly exceptional, beyond all my expectations, safe to say she was impressed too! All in all I found the place a lovely, welcoming venue, with amazing food and great drinks, I myself enjoying a pristine pale ale before moving onto the bubbly! I would definitely recommend and will be back again. Attached is a picture of my partners meal, it would of been a crime not to share it.

A lovely Sunday Roast for 4 of us on Mother's Day today... Excellent food and friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

What a great place! Amazing food. Would definitely recommend

What a hidden gem. So I didn't know about this pub which was hidden in the corner. We went in without a booking, thinking it's a Sunday and its quite early, we should be fine. but they said they all quite full, so I was surprised. They popped us at the outside table. It was cosy and really lovely. The food came and we were not disappointed. One of our friends hate vegetables but is a veggie.. and he ate all of the food cos it was so delicious. The portions are generous.

Fantastic food and very warm welcome The best steaks in the area!

Underwhelmed by my starter - found it a little too bland and heavy. Very impressed by the main course - fantastic home-made burger. Very good service - owner was very polite and helpful. Was going to give 3 stars but I think overall this place deserves 4.
