Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Passenger Check-In (Folkestone)

Train ticket office
Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Passenger Check-In in Folkestone has been improving its services, with plans to add more EV chargers and an improved food offering at the terminal. The check-in process is seamless, with the option for earlier travel times if available. While there could be more activities for kids, the parking is ample and the staff are praised for their helpfulness. Additionally, there's a positive experience of receiving assistance when a passport was forgotten, showcasing thoughtful customer service.
Fast and easy check in, lots of staff to make sure you are heading the correct way through passport control and to the train itself. Easy entry to the train and only 25 minutes across. We arrived early and was able to get the a earlier train which was great.

Over the years I must’ve used the EuroTunnel well over 100 times. The crossing is very quick (35 minutes) & on a normal day it’ll take about 30 minutes to get through the security… They used to have a frequent traveler account & you could cross the channel for as little as £43 per way but unfortunately since Covid (& maybe before that) they no longer offer the account. Crossing now can be expensive but it’s worth the time you save crossing by the ferry. Overall expect for the prices everything else is pretty good. You drive into the train & sit in your car or could walk on the side walk during the crossing…
Sam Z — Google review
If only all travel hubs were as efficient as this! Self check in was very simple, arrived early and they offered a space on an earlier train so we took it, no extra charge. Good terminal facilities. Passport control was a breeze. Fun experience.

So much better than the ferry etc Much quicker. Sometimes you might get delays at peak times, school holidays, but never really had a bad experience. Always use this for any European journey. Very convenient and all the staff are quite friendly too
Tee K — Google review
Never had a problem with this crossing. In fact it’s now my preferred route to most parts of Europe . ( However living close to Plymouth, Spain and Brittany and French west coast I’ll take Brittany Ferries ) Saying this the Chunnel is excellent, quick , easy & efficient . I do think pricing is a little high sometimes but doesn’t stop me using. In reflection it’s quick easy and convenient, I’ll certainly continue to use .
Andrew A — Google review
Quick and easy, but very, very pricey in summer. Paid €727 for a return trip (with the caravan). For that kind of money, you could drive all of France’s toll roads and still spend less than on this “platinum-plated” train. Don't believe any of their 'special promotions', think twice about booking. If you arrive too early; no problem, they'll put you on any train. If you arrive late you have to pay a full new ticket... But it is conveniant and fast, can't argue about that. Especially if you have a long drive ahead up north. And staff is pretty helpful and friendly. Just wish they would have lower average price year round.
Stijn J — Google review
Train was delayed a bit, but still got us across a lot quicker than the ferry. The processes are smooth and the staff are friendly. Perfect especially when, like we did, you have a long drive ahead so saves you an hour or so compared to the ferry.

Everything went smoothly, we were there quite early and took the train an hour early, so it was great. The train was on time.

The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway is a delightful experience for both railway aficionados and families alike. This charming miniature railway spans 14 miles from Hythe to the unique shingle landscape of Dungeness, offering breathtaking views across the Marsh. It's an enchanting journey that not only showcases stunning scenery but also connects visitors to local attractions like the Crafts Fair at the Romney Marsh Visitor Centre in November.
We went yesterday and had a lovely day, we got the train from hythe and went right to the far end and back. The staff are amazing and so helpful and friendly. The kids absolutely loved the train ride. Thank you to all the team for making us feel so welcome
Anthony V — Google review
Good day out, charming little railway with some beautiful steam teams and miniature diesel engines. Found the enclosed carriages slightly difficult to enter and exit, as the low roof and small doors are fairly difficult to access for older adults who wish to enjoy the experience. Some interesting history on show and a brilliant oo scale model railway at New Romney station
Barry B — Google review
An absolutely fantastic day out for railway fans. My daughters loved riding on the train and we all enjoyed the scenic views as we headed towards Dungeness. There is a lovely cafe at Dungeness, and you can climb the lighthouse at weekends.

Bought tickets on line as thought the weather was going to be hot. Fortunately it was overcast but warm. Trains were busy but managed to find an empty compartment. Walked around Dungeness and got off a couple of times on the way back. Well worth it

Lovely railway line. Beautiful trains. I definitely recommend getting the rover pass and hopping on and off at each station. Great fun.
Roberta G — Google review
Brilliant 15 inch gauge railway. We parked at their RHDR Hythe station for the day (£6). We took the train all the way to Dungeness station (approx 1hr), visited the lighthouse (£5 entrance fee and 160 steps to the top, but it does have 2 landings for a rest and information about the lighthouse). Dungeness station has a café with indoor seating and toilets; also parking here is free. The café serves a good variety of food, but you may need to pay by cash as their internet connection for electronic payments isn't very reliable! New Romney station is the main hub of the railway. It has a café with seating. Above the café is a model railway layout with museum exhibits (extra small entrance fee if you didn't buy the all inclusive ticket). The model railway is computer controlled and has buttons to press which activate different features on the layout (great for youngsters). There is also a heritage area near the signal box showing the history of the railway. We'll definitely be visiting again as it is was such an enjoyable day out.

Indoor playground

Party planner
Kidz Planet is a large, indoor playground that is popular with families and children of all ages. It features various play areas, a cafe for parents to enjoy refreshments, and friendly staff who are always willing to help. It is a great place to come at least once a month for fun for little ones of all ages.
Big soft play with area for younger children separate from baby and big kid areas. We've visited many times and found the play area to be clean. My kids love the football pitch as well as the many slides and large play area. The drop slide is an added bonus for those brave children. Coffee is nice and the food is what you expect in a soft play area - no fills but no complaints! The toilets are not always fresh but with the volume of children using them I'm not surprised. The booking system for soft play/lazer tag needs amending as you have to pay for an adult but it also says 1 adult with 1 child is free. Overall defo worth a visit! We've been coming on a regular basis for nearly 10 years!

Had a lovely time here Easter Sunday with our 4 year old. Reasonably priced, extra activities put on for Easter (staff did a great job) and a good variety of play equipment. Would visit again.

My kids loved it, plenty seating. Cheaper to pay online in advance. Baby, toddler and older kids separated play areas. Cafe on site with food and drinks. Upstairs seating also available. Some parts of the play area closed, it looked like a rocket train, would have liked to see that open especially that it was half term.

Fantastic kids party. My 4 year old party at another venue got cancelled a week before the party. Kidz planet were able to accommodate and down a great job.

Absolutely do not bring your children here. My three year old daughter was repeatedly pushed and hit by a member of staffs child on the 23/09/2025 who I have now found out is actually the managers (Lisa) child. My daughter attempted to play football with my brother in law, as she went into the football area this boy took the ball off her and pushed her she then attempted to go in there again and unfortunately the same thing happened and the boy seemed to be getting more aggressive this upset my daughter and she was then brought back downstairs to avoid her being seriously hurt as she is only three and the boy was around 7/8. My daughter came down stairs shortly after this the boy came down when he saw my daughter again she was stood by the canteen area he then pushed her into the canteen wall she hit her head and was screaming in pain no accident form was given despite 3/4 members of staff watching including the ‘manager’, the boy was not told that what he had just done is not nice or okay to do. We left after this upset and shocked by what had just happened and will not be returning again. I called up this morning to try and speak to a manager to report this incident and question why an accident form was not given despite a head injury. It then came to my surprise that the lady whose son it was was who I was speaking with she informed me she was the ‘manager Lisa’ on the call. The phone call was appalling I was shouted at by this ‘manager’ and she tried to blame my daughter despite my whole family witnessing the event thankfully I have the phone call all on record and will be taking it further. I really do not recommend this place as it is not safe for your children and evidently the staff do not care either.

Over the years I would describe Kidz Planet as unfortunately going down hill the play equipment is becoming quite old and really needs a good updating. The times I have been there it's been hugely overcrowded, it's so hot in there I don't think there is any air conditioning. Cleanliness whilst I understand can be difficult with kids running around could be better with tables not being cleared, food all over the floor. I didn't have much interaction with the staff however the people I did come into contact with were pleasant I would just say it seemed like there weren't enough staff. My rating is mainly to do with the cleanliness and outdated equipment.

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust boasts an extensive assortment of WWII aviation-themed memorabilia, including warplanes, uniforms and artifacts. The exhibit comprises various aircraft hangars and features a vast selection of British and German planes as well as military paraphernalia. Although photography is not allowed in the main hangers out of respect for those who fought during the war, visitors can enjoy taking pictures elsewhere on the premises.
Visited today and was unsure what to expect because, despite being a history lover, WW2 isn’t normally a time period that interests me too much. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the sheer amount of work and dedication to those who served and died during the Battle of Britain. There is no photography allowed, which is understandable given the context. Me and my parents spent the whole day here absorbing the emotional stories that all had been meticulously researched. Would absolutely recommend. We also paid a quick visit to the nearby cemetery a minute’s drive away to see the graves of some of those who died in the surrounding area. A great tie in to finish off a wonderful day!
Danielle B — Google review
What an excellent Museum, the curator and staff go the extra mile to uncover any items related to the battle of Britain. They have separate sections devoted to individual pilots which helps to bring the whole experience to life. There are some amazing aircraft on site and they support various outside projects, including one to bring a hurricane, recovered from a marsh, back hopefully into an airworthy condition. If you have any interest in the Battle of Britain, then this is a must visit Museum. Set aside a full day as there are a tremendous amount of exhibits and life stories of Pilots.

We had a very nice visit here! This museum was far bigger than we expected. What a great collection of planes and other WW2 memorabilia. Lots of friendly volunteers made our visit even better!
Martijn B — Google review
Brilliant museum. You have to hand in your cameras and phones as photography is strictly prohibited unless accompanied by a guide. I wasn’t that bothered but took these from the outside. Staff were very friendly. They have a memorial exhibit for every airman stationed at the site, who died. I remember reading one account who died long after the war, but most were casualties from the war. Some exhibits were of non British airmen. I’m avoiding keywords that search engines might pick up on. The museum is packed, I think they must have all their artefacts on show. The item I found most extraordinary were the training paintings, showing a sequence of plane manoeuvres. We visited late on a Friday in late July

Me and my dad visited here about a month or so ago, and it was a great experience I must say, brilliant display, but just warning you early, when you walk in and book, you must have your phone in a safe, but if you want to take pictures someone will get called over and guide you to where you are allowed to, but this museum is a good place overall.

Absolutely magnificent little museum, full of amazing stories of heroism in the Battle of Britain, and reconstructed aircraft, which is run by hugely enthusiastic volunteers - allow a couple of hours to wander around then enjoy a delicious meal or snack at the mess. So pleased we found this gem.
Felicity W — Google review
What a fantastic museum this is. When I say it's full with WW2 Battle of Britain history it's an understatement. This place is a little gem for anybody interested in this period in time. There is also a WW1 display but mostly Second world war artifacts fill the walls and ground. Pictures are prohibited in the museum itself due to a few reasons but Pictures outside are fine. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. There's also a onsite cafe where we had a fry up, which was great. It also has a little shop with plenty of books and gifts avaliable. The museum collections though are what makes this place what it is. In the middle of the museum on the grass is an array of aircraft including 3 full scale replicas of the Hawker Hurricane, a real Heinkel and a JU 52 among others. Please vist this museum and help keep the history of these brave men and women alive.
Joe J — Google review
Excellent museum commemorating the Heroes who fought in the skies over Southern England in the Battle of Britain, absolutely packed with memorabilia and facts. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area, just to add no photographs can be taken inside the buildings but the Aircraft outside can be. Lovely Cafe serving an all day breakfast and more, staff very friendly and knowledgeable which adds upto my five star rating.

Fast food restaurant
The Eurotunnel chain offers a healthy counter-serve restaurant that takes inspiration from around the Mediterranean. The selection of food is varied and includes freshly prepared items, many of which are healthy. The idea behind the restaurant is to reduce plastics and use large paper bags instead, but this would be great to be optional rather than compulsory.
Called in for a bite to eat whilst waiting for the shuttle. Nice choice of tasty meals. Good cup of tea made with fresh milk. Staff very friendly and nice.

The menu is unclear and it’s hard to see if there are any meal deals or combos available. There’s no option for electronic ordering, which makes the process slower, and the place wasn’t very clean either.

Awful experience (wished I’d read reviews beforehand as clearly not alone). Went in for breakfast - ordered bacon rolls amongst other things. Waited nearly 20 minutes. Left in a rush to eat in the car only to find bacon was virtually raw! Throw them all in the bin. Avoid this place!

The Brickfield Cookhouse + Pub is a stylish chain pub offering classic international favorites, grill dishes, and burgers. While some visitors found the service a bit slow and encountered an unpleasant smell near the toilet area, others appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.

The dining area was clean, and despite some limitations on customizing set meals, additional items could be easily added.

Came here last week for a family meal, and was impressed with the quality and amount of food given. So we decided to give it another go but try the value range. We were blown away with the quality and amount for such a low price. We, 3 adults all had 2 courses and drinks non alcoholic, 0 Guinness in my case, and the bill was under £50. If you join their email list you can get 25% off, with vouchers for half term giving discounts and free meals for children. We highly recommend this establishment and will be using on a regular basis. Also whilst writing commend our waitress Sharon for her excellent service.

Basically don't bother, we booked for a Sunday roast, the waitress then started to list what they didn't have, no roasts, no fish n chips none of this and none of that, eventually I asked her to list what they did have as that list was shorter. The table next to us had ordered drinks but got up and left them after hearing there was virtually no food, the place was nearly empty, the manager should be sacked for allowing this to happen, no organisation at all, no wonder they keep sending out coupons. I ordered beef cottage pie, you can see from the attached photos what I got, I didn't count the peas 😂🤣

Generally really nice for a traditional pub-attached-to-a- Premier Inn. But just one thing: My wife and I were sat in a lovely quiet alcove that only seated 2 and just as we were about to order food, a waitress seated a family of 6 right on top of us on tables that got joined together to accommodate them all, even though there were loads of big tables free all over the pub. Maybe I'm being a little picky but a review is a review.

Food is average at best. Service very slow. We waited 1 hour for the table to be cleared after our mains, and then only when I asked. Desert took 35 mins to arrive and again only when I chased it. Was cheap, but you can clearly see why. Would not recommend.

Gastropub
Restaurant
The White Hart Inn Sevenoaks Kent is a historical pub that has been around since 1395. It features a traditional red-brick exterior and offers a modern pub menu. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with barrel tables and a wood-fired oven adding to the charm. One can also enjoy the beer garden in warmer weather. The staff are known for their friendliness and efficient service, making finding a table easy and ensuring quick service.
After being let down with another venue I rang around and The white Hart were extremely helpful and gave us a table with the provision we had to be done by 3.30. The young waitress was very attentive and got us drinks right away and we ordered our food. This part was the only glitch to a perfect start. We heard some plates being dropped we can only assume it was our dinners, I say assume because we waited for over half an hour before our meals arrived and nothing was said . But it was ok we were talking and celebrating my mums birthday. The food was amazing and well made up for the wait. The plates were ginormous I had the mix which was beef, pork and chicken. The variety of veg was impressive, stuffing and a large Yorkshire pudding. I can whole heartedly recommend this pub. The food , atmosphere and staff made it a fantastic experience. Thank you

I hate to give 5 stars. Like nothing can be improved. But I feel that would be unfair. All the staff was super nice an helpful, even if when the waitress asked if we had any allergies, to which my normal response was manual labour. She looked very confused. Dad jokes wasted on her sadly lol Our order was taken swiftly. Our drinks were brought out, given we drink like fish, we still had plenty left before our food came out. We both had something different. Was very happy with mine, my partner was happy with hers, tho we both felt it seemed odd it didn’t come with a small serving of side salad. It didn’t make or break it, just everywhere else we ordered this meal from always does The place seemed squeaky clean an very pleasant, and while paying as we left the barmaid serving us was clearly old enough to get my parting dad joke. So that’s a winner ha ha

As tourists we turned up at 7pm to have a quiet drink with our two children 9 and 5 years old. We don’t know the town and just wanted to take the children out. We were informed we could only stay if ALL of us bought food. So they were happy to take us if we ALL bought food but were extremely unfriendly to tourists. Avoid.

Absolutely amazing! I had the Tiger Prawn Pasta and it was hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The gluten-free homemade maltaldine pasta was perfection you’d never even know it was gluten free! The prawns were juicy and full of flavour, and the chilli & garlic butter sauce with parmesan and fresh herbs brought everything together beautifully. Couldn’t recommend enough – I’ll definitely be back!

We held a large event at the White Hart with over 30 people having starters and mains. The White Hart delivered nothing short of perfection for us. The food was delicious, the restaurant was decorated absolutely beautifully for Christmas and the staff were patient and friendly with all guests including some small children. The kitchen did brilliantly as well with not one late dish or error and they catered to everyone’s dietary requirements ahead of time. It was perfect. Thank you very much to you all at the White Hart, we all had a beautiful evening.
