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…

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

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 .

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.

Great service, very convenient. If the prices were a little more affordable for regular crossing that would be a bonus.

Got there at requested time of 1 hour earlier. Expected to pop into the Duty Free but that was miles away. Had we known then we would have arrived a couple of hours early. Getting on and off Le Shuttle was a breeze.

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

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

Purchased tickets received as a,wedding guest. Loved the trip both ways and spent some time in hythe. I remember this train from when I was a child so was great to revisit these memories

Lovely railway line. Beautiful trains. I definitely recommend getting the rover pass and hopping on and off at each station. Great fun.

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.

Excellent day out. Friendly staff, reasonably priced and great fun. Good food with great prices in the cafes at either end of the line

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. We’re not very close to lots of the guests haven’t been before and everyone went away saying they’ll definitely come back. Definitely recommend. Thank you!

Great for party's and just an afternoon out. Cafe does good food choices for the kids. Prices are respectable. So weekends with bad weather the place will be packed. Hit and miss if your get a seat. They do it on amount inside so I would recommend booking.

Was well worth the hours drive to try a new soft play, both kids liked it a lot. Lots of seating, with hard and soft seats. Catered for all ages. Has its own mini roller coaster too!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Food fine and good for veggies. Long queues and slow service. I was warned that the queues are always long here. Sort it out. If you can't cope add more staff or just reduce your menu.

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.

The food was not great but there were vegan and gluten free options so we were grateful. The staff were friendly and helpful and the order was correct.

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!

We waited 25 minutes and still didn't get our food we had to go because otherwise we would of missed our train. Their slogan should be naturally slow food not naturally fast food. What is fast about 25 minutes of waiting?

Brazilian Black beans with rice is great. Tastes like in Rio, and it's vegan!

Overpriced, barely edible. Gross. Massive shame, I used to love Leon before it sold. New owners, pull your socks up.

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 😂🤣

We had waitress Meli, she was very polite and professional waitress. We attended on a Saturday night and even with the added pressure of an error in order it was rectified immediately. We are happy. The food was nice and so was the atmosphere.

Absolutely disgusting, I won’t go into too many details but it wasn’t cooked properly and it looked like someone had chewed the chicken and spat it out then cooked it , all the tables were dirty. Just horrible .

It’s good for a cheap meal but noticed corners have been cut. The house salad with chicken/avocado has no avocado’s in it. The chocolate sundae was supposed to have Cadbury’s chocolate in it but only came with a profiterole, ice cream & sauce Dessert menus are looking tired & need replacing but overall it’s a ok place to eat Hot Dog 9/10 Jam Roly-poly was 9/10 Waitress 10/10

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.

Great venue, enjoyed the outside deck area in the sun. Good drink menu and ordered food which was surprisingly very good and would definitely return. Compliments to the chef 👌

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.

Enjoyed a lovely pizza and loaded fries on the deck for lunch. This place had a quirky/modern menu with a nice drinks/cocktail menu. All nicely presented and tasted good. The staff were attentive and polite. I will return and recommend to others.

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!

You cannot beat a roast dinner at the White Hart. Tried other venues, but we always return. We have had several roasts and they have always been of great quality 👌. Staff always friendly, polite and offer a efficient service. Thank you 😊

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.

Absolutely charming seaside town with a perfect blend of heritage and modern flair. The Harbour Arm is a highlight—great food stalls, live music, and atmosphere right by the sparkling sea. I loved strolling along the Leas promenade and catching glimpses of France across the Channel. Folkestone’s Creative Quarter adds a lovely artistic touch, with cool galleries, quirky cafés and a relaxed vibe. With its vibrant public art, scenic parks, and welcoming feel, this is a hidden gem on the Kent coast!

Love this place. Plenty of great food and drink on offer. Great atmosphere when we popped down on a Friday evening with a ska band playing, place was buzzing. Can't wait to visit again.

It’s a lovely area to spend a day but unfortunately is not family friendly , except a carusel is nothing to do for children . No amusement parks , no playgrounds and fair.

We visited Folkestone Harbour the night before catching a ferry to Europe and were really pleasantly surprised. It’s a vibrant, welcoming spot with plenty to do – from quirky bars and cosy eateries to a fun crazy golf course, a stone beach, and a children’s playground. The harbour area is beautifully designed, with lovely views out to sea and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it perfect for socialising or simply soaking it all in. It’s a great place to spend a few hours, whether you’re passing through or making it your main destination. A fantastic way to spend quality time before heading across the Channel – highly recommend!

On a beautiful ifs a great walk. Really easy with a buggy too as it’s 90% hard standing. Good food and drinks available. Often have entertainment on

Lovely place! Perfect for families, very cosy and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting.

Nice place to visit , fossils galore, if you know where to look ! One of the best locations for Gault Clay fossils . I have found ammonites and even Pterosaur teeth. . The local fish and chips is Excellent.

A wonderful place to dine, all staff are very friendly and helpful. Food, the Lamb, was stunning and the burgers were very filling. The atmosphere is very busy with lots to look at and a warming fire is always a welcome when coming in from the cold.

We had dinner at Harbour Inn in Folkestone, near the Old High Street, and it was a great experience. We ordered Mussels and Whitebait — both dishes were fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The quality and portion sizes were excellent. The restaurant/pub has a lovely ambiance; I especially liked the wooden tables and chairs that added a cosy charm. They had some tempting dessert options, but we were too full after dinner to try them — definitely something for next time! Highly recommend this place for its great food and atmosphere.

Fantastic location over looking the beach with views on a good day of France. The staff are really lovely and very attentive. The only let down was the food and the high cost. Two starters, a prawn salad consisting of a couple of lettuce leaves, a couple of bits of other stuff and a hand full of prawns, a beer and a mocktail for old people. A portion of over cooked sea bass on quite crispy chips, a chicken burger, two beers and two medium glasses of house white for two younger people, cost £144 + . But of course being the only food outlet in this fantastic location because the others close before the night crowd get home from work , they can! So do go there, stay off the very over priced wine and have a sandwich from the outside stall and enjoy the view. Our of course take a picnic.

Really great fresh food and very filling. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly staff and enjoyed our food in a relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

I had dinner at The Harbour Inn in Folkestone last night and sadly, I left feeling disappointed. While the food itself — a burger and fish & chips — was fine and tasted okay, the portion size compared to the price was shocking. My burger arrived with what looked like a very small portion of chips, and for £17, I genuinely thought I had been given a child’s meal by mistake. Absolutely not good value for money. The staff were very friendly, which I appreciated, but the overall service left much to be desired. We decided to order dessert, but it took 40 minutes to arrive. When it finally came, it was clear it had been sitting for a while — the ice cream had melted and the custard had gone cold. It really felt like we were forgotten about. Sadly, I won’t be returning anytime soon. There are plenty of other places in Folkestone where you can get better value and faster service.

The food,drinks and staff were excellent. The ship has a nice atmosphere. If you are down by Folkestone harbour give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Lovely spot at Folkestone Harbour. Staff were helpful and friendly and they were able to accommodate my needs as a coeliac on two occasions. Lovely cosy pub and dogs allowed in the bar area which is always a win!

Amazing food with a view. The fish and chips is amazing, huge portions, the tartar sauce and the mushy mint peas very delicious. The staff very friendly and the price is low for the quality you get. The view of the harbour is absolutely amazing even though it was low tide when we were there. Definitely will go again when in the area.

Lunch yesterday was (as usual) absolutely faultless! Food is a gastronomic delight - fish so fresh, it almost swims onto your plate and all served by friendly, polished and attentive staff. Warm and lively atmosphere and the setting is, even on a dull afternoon, breathtaking. Special mention to Lazlo, one of the restaurant managers, whose friendly and professional manner wouldn't be out of place in a London 5* restaurant. Thank you for making our day!

My family used to live in Folkestone about 8 years ago, and my parents went to Rocksalt a couple of times back then and found the service slow and unhelpful, and the food of mediocre quality. Returning last week, we found that not much had changed. We were greeted by a young server who showed us to our table and took our drinks order - she was pleasant, but did not know much about the drinks options (we later saw others with cocktails, though this was not an option given to us; she also wasn't aware of the spirits options). I don't blame her as she was clearly young and inexperienced, but her lack of training and knowledge reflects very badly on the restaurant, especially as she was the first face we saw. We were also placed at a table right next to the door, where a chilly breeze was blowing in, and despite the restaurant being half empty our request to be moved was denied (several tables remained empty until we left a couple hours later). This was baffling and did not set a great tone for the night. The presentation of the food was very prettily done, and the fish was very fresh, but for the prices, the dishes themselves are very average - nice enough, but nothing special or exciting. We had come to Rocksalt for my sister's birthday, but other than a "happy birthday" at the door, no effort was made to make the night feel special - no rapport with the staff, no recommendations of dishes. When the meal finally ended, they brought out a plate with "happy birthday" written in chocolate sauce and a single, tiny scoop of raspberry sorbet. They hadn't even bothered to add her name (or even ask for it), nor inquire at any point what sort of flavours she might like (she doesn't like raspberry and would've honestly preferred a simpler flavour like vanilla or chocolate). A very poor performance, considering the supposed calibre of the restaurant. Overall, disappointing but not surprising. I'm honestly astounded at how many good reviews this place has, considering that amongst Folkestone natives and locals it is regularly avoided.

My husband & I had a Sunday roast. I had belly of pork cooked to perfection my husband had beef. Everything was delicious. The service was efficient, professional and polite. We throughly enjoyed our visit and food would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately food was very bland and cold, very expensive, and we waited 1.5 hours for the food to be brought out. No one asked us how the food was, otherwise we would have told them, but started eating as we were so hungry. Beautiful view and good location though. Overall, massive disappointment - should have checked the review before hand, as recently they have received many reviews similar to mine. Advice, go somewhere else - you'll get much better food at a fraction of the price.

Location is beautiful - such amazing views across the Channel. The food was delicious - we had the scallops and prawns to start, the lemon sole and the skate and then the fondant for dessert - I’d highly recommend them all. The atmosphere is perfect which a luxurious yet relaxed dining experience. Personally, I loved how accommodating they were to our toddler. An amazing child’s menu but the staff were also just so helpful - Emma was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for such a lovely evening; we can’t wait to come back!

We had booked a big important birthday family celebration for 10. Having been to the restaurant before, we were looking forward to the a la carte dining in front of the panoramic windows with top notch food and service, as always, at a seafood restaurant. I called the restaurant to book, confirmed my credit card for the reservation. When we arrived, we were seated outside the main restaurant in ‘the garden’ which offered us drinks in paper cups and a limited bbq menu. A completely different vibe to what we expected and had hoped for. I spoke to the staff and explained this and asked for their help to elevate the experience. There was no space indoors in the main restaurant. We had agreed that they would swap out paper cups for proper glass and that we would be able to order from the a la carte desert menu at the end of the meal. Not perfect, but a possible solution. Here are some of the issues which occurred after this: - the cups (which were also flying everywhere in the wind) were not swapped out till I spoke to the staff again 40 mins later - the cutlery was placed on the table in a chewed up Tupperware box and stayed there through the meal - the food which we largely enjoyed, came out at completely different times which we weren’t warned about - the kids’ cheeseburger didn’t have any cheese - most people had finished their mains when the kids’ hot dog and sides finally arrived - from an order of three drinks (wine and two beers) only two arrived - the table next to us had ordered from the a la carte menu despite us being told that we could only have bbq mains - the waitress/manager came up to apologise and offer us drinks, but did it very loudly and to the whole table. I had tried to address all issues with the staff away from the table not to break up some sense of celebration and wished she had offered us the same courtesy I can see the staff were trying, but the bbq kitchen could clearly not come with a large table. The staff were pleasant but not completely experienced. We did get a bottle of wine and a couple of beers on the house as a gesture, but sadly it didn’t give us back any semblance of the experience we were expecting and had the pleasure of having in the past.

Stunning book cafe in a beautiful street in one of the most charming towns in England. Friendly staff and good customer service. However the place is too busy, loud and feels a bit cramped. The coffee was good but the cake was extremely small in size and hugely overpriced. The heart cake was too tough and way too sweet for my liking personally.

I really loved this café, super cozy and charming. The croissant was just okay and the jam was a bit basic, but the coffee was very good, and extra points for the salted butter. Overall, the atmosphere is so warm and inviting that it makes the whole experience lovely.

Loved this hidden gem in Folkstone.. coming from London wasnt expecting such a chic cafe in here, lovely vibe, lovely cakes and great coffee. Although they dont have many options for food but I guess they focus more on the cakes and coffees. We visited here on a weekend and loved their food vibe so kuch that we came back next day and had some food as well which we did not like. Cakes and coffees were on point. Their coffee menu is so versatile. Highly recommend. Staff is really friendly and welcoming.

Very cutesy! Sat outside with my friends and ordered some drinks! Tasted lovely. Will definitely go again 🍵☕️ I ordered an iced matcha with sugar free vanilla syrups 🧸

I was happy to finally visit the Steep Street Coffee House. I like the decor with all the books around the rooms. Customers can buy books if they find one that interests them. I found the place a bit cramped and it is a busy place. It is a dog friendly establishment but some people might feel uncomfortable if there are too many pets around. We had a lovely hello from one little dog which didn't disturb us. The coffees, chocolate cake and lemoncream croissant were delicious. I certainly would like to try more of the pastries, etc on another visit. The service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice coffee but the "goat's cheese tart" was not good - was just pastry with a bit of dry bubbled egg on top (less than one forkful's worth) and some onion marmalade, not at all what I expected for £6-odd. The quiche was a bit bland but better after adding salt, not worth £8-odd. The brownie was ok but the corner piece they gave me was tiny. Nobody asked if we enjoyed. They were about 60% full. Shame because the vibe is lovely.

The fact that the place is always full and there is a long queue tells you everything you need to know about the quality of drinks/food and service. Suitable for a quick take-away, a study session or a catch-up with friends, the Steep Street Coffee House is a staple in Folkestone and we have been coming here for years. Only a 5min walk away from the sea, 10mins from the bus station and surrounded by craft, clothing and music shops it is a perfect place for a cup of coffe and a bite to eat.

Overpriced tourist trap, beware! The worst fish and chips I’ve ever had, soggy batter, tasteless cod, skinny kebab shop fries. The lobster roll tiny and cost £12, it was finished in 2 bites and the lobster was dry.

Fast seafood 😋 and yummy. I wasn't hungry but I couldn't help myself getting oysters which were yummy. I saw nice seafood sandwiches. Fried noddles with king prawns ( really big prawns. King prawns in the supermarkets are much smaller) looked great. If I was hungry they would be my choices.

The seafood might look good on display but they tasted so blend… Cod was also blend, the batter outweigh the fish. Only good thing here was the chips Squid and lemon and chilli prawn all replied on the seasoning, the squid and prawn themselves have no flavour and not fresh at all Prawn cocktail was up to standard Long queue but truly a big disappointment We waited more than 20 mins for 3 things only. Felt like a tourist trap :(

Very disappointing experience at Chummy's in Folkestone. The staff were arrogant and rude, making the whole visit uncomfortable. The food was no better – the cod and chips were greasy, bland, and seriously overpriced. Worst of all, the oyster was clearly not fresh, which is completely unacceptable from a seafood vendor. There are other seafood options in Folkestone – I strongly recommend trying those instead. If you have a choice, go anywhere else but here. Avoid this place.

I was to at the beach yesterday and I thought before to come back to London, just to eat a fish and chips. Well fish was extremely oily and disgusting. I ended up with food poisoning by the time I arrived back to London! Never again , and apart of this the price was high as well!

Nice selection of cold seafood, some hot plates as well

The best seafood I have ever tasted. Clean whelks. Amazing seafood mix. Beautiful batter on the fish. Perfect cockles. And the staff were so friendly, they even sang happy birthday to an elderly man who was with his wife and had travelled there on their anniversary and it had rained so hard. Lovely people and food.

Friendly local. Can't complain. Nice outdoor area 👌 Food is recommended by locals but we wasn't eating on the day we visited.

Friendly local pub that treats everyone as a valued customer, no matter what! Our autistic son has made it his local and when we pop in with him, it's lovely to see the reaction he has. This is the blueprint of what British pubs should be like. Oh by the way, it has a decent array of beers!

Lovely pub with a warm welcome. Loved all the RAF and aircraft items adorning the walls

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Our dog Casper was pampered by the landlady with gravy bones and water. I was really impressed with the selection of beer truly incredible. We always walked past this pub but this time I decided to go in 'lol'. I wasn't disappointed and much better than your trendy wine bars nearby. Will visit again.

Lovely place with unique athmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Fresh and great traditional food. We really enjoyed it.

Excellent pub, comfiest wooden chair out front

Great pub with an astonishing collection of model aircraft. Lovely pub, really interesting model aircraft display on the walls. Good beer, stack of local newspapers (thank you - that means so much to casual visitors like us) and basically just a bloody nice pub. To be honest the hour or so that we spent there was probably the high-point of a flying tourist visit to Folkestone. Well done!

Loved the beer and pizza here so much, we came back an hour after we'd left for more! Recommend the anchovy and caper pizza 🍕 delicious wood fired. The low tide pale ale is perfect for sunny weather.

Great venue and food , expertly placed with views out on to the beach and sea. Plenty of indoor and out door seating, dog friendly throughout. Food reasonably priced and excellent quality, will certainly be returning.

Delicious, fresh wood-fired pizzas with a stunning sea view — what more could you want! The staff were absolutely lovely, so friendly and welcoming. Great food, great service, and the perfect place to relax by the beach. Highly recommend!

The Pizza was amazing, the staff was super nice and the music together with the decorations made for a perfect experience!!!

Great bar/pizza place with plenty of indoor and outdoors seating. Range of drinks - beer, wine, excellent cocktails. Great views of the beach and really nice pizzas. Kid friendly and good service too.

* edit to owner’s response the are zero signs saying cash only I ask the young lad that was serving and he shrugged his shoulders the are no signs saying cash only a awful response to a genuine review. Nice friendly service with really nice drinks unfortunately I can’t go back as they don’t accept cash I understand the owners can choose whatever payment method the want but they really should put a sign on the door or at the point of sale card only …. It’s very frustrating having to leave a queue to borrow a card of someone and re join the queue to be made to be feel you have done something wrong with trying to pay with cash

First time here today. Stopped off for a pizza and drink. We shared a Forne pizza with extra chilli's on one half. It was absolutely spot on. Lovely beachside bar, plenty of seating in and out. Young staff who were great. Highly recommend.

The Folkestone Harbour along with the Lighthouse is an iconic attraction for anyone visiting Folkestone. The place has a long history dating back in the 1900s. The photos along with the valuable information speaks a lot. The Harbour area was quite windy when we visited yesterday but Sun came out later and calmed the environment. There is an entertaining promenade with live music and food cafes along with good seating arrangements. A place worthy to visit in summer.

What an amazing place to spend a few hours (or maybe a full day). Absolutely loved what had been done with a disused railway station. There are some great bars eateries, offering exceptional views across the English Channel.

The harbour arm has been 'done up' and is very nice. There are lots of independent small market shops and places where you can eat and drink, a bit like Christmas Market huts. There is a big outdoor TV screen fir watching sports etc. Not sure whether all this is seasonal abd just maybe weekends out of season? But there are other places such as the very nice bar by the lighthouse, and a small brewery pub that I should imagine stays open more regularly. There is also a few fair rides. The views of folkestone are lovely from here too.

Enjoyed a lovely walk from Lower Leas car park along the promenade & boardwalk to the harbour arm. Here we stopped at the Champagne bar in the old lighthouse. Well worth a visit, nice cocktails and yummy charcuterie.

I adore Folkestone Harbour. The views are absolutely stunning, if you're visiting Folkestone, you simply cannot miss the Harbour Arm. Plenty of independent traders offering a great range of foods and drinks, there's truly something for everyone. Lots of different events and entertainment on throughout the year... I could go on and on!

My first visit to Folkstone to explore the colorful Artist Quarter. Lovely coffee shops open on a Sunday morning, already buzzing with people! Colours of painted shop fronts were joyful and welcoming as I walked down old High Street to the Harbour. Spectacular views east to fishing fleet and chalk cliffs. Beautiful tulips planted in a memorial garden. I loved this visit to Folkstone!

I visited Folkestone and found it to be a charming seaside town with a nice mix of history, coastal views, and places to relax — the harbor area is great for a stroll, and it’s a pleasant spot to enjoy the sea atmosphere.

A nice sandy beach, with toilets available and a cafe. Also very close by you have ice cream, seafood and fish and chips. No parking near the beach but plenty of parking around with a small walk. Life guards during busy periods. What more do you want from a day at the beach.

Nice sunny beach but best to check tide levels and avoid going peak hours on weekends. Plenty of parking available then.

One of our favorite sandy beach to go to, have visited couple of times this summer. The vibes, not too much crowded which is best, calm and nice sandy beach to go with kids.

A beautiful day out but really struggled with finding parking for non-residents till we found the big car park by the Harbour. Stony beach and plenty of space for children to play and run around. A lovely sunny day so we managed to enjoy some dip in the clear blue water beach which was lovely. When it came time to have dinner most places in the food court had run out of fish and chicken so be sure to get there early so you’re not disappointed. There are a variety of food vendors so a mix of cuisine from traditional British to Korean, Mexican, American etc. Toilet facilities available by the beach and food court area which are clean.

Sandy Sands Beach has that perfect summer holiday vibe. The atmosphere is super chill, and the locals are friendly.

Visited here after seeing beautiful sands. Absolutely beautiful.

Amazing beach! However, it’s best to visit after 2.00 pm when the tide goes out, as it’s very crowded and space is limited before then. Allow extra time for parking — it’s chaotic to find a space and the fees are quite expensive.

The dining experience was very nice featuring excellent food and significantly improved service. It’s an ideal spot for enjoying a small bite to eat along with a glass of wine as you head out to a gathering or celebration. This place truly enhances the journey to any party!

We had an amazing couple of visits here recently on a holiday to Folkestone. Extremely friendly staff and an excellent set of dishes and drink options. They were amazing at helping when I experienced a diabetic hypo and also in amending the specials so that I could have them with my vegan diet (and there were a lot of choices on the menu for vegan diets!). My mother is gluten free and had plenty of options on the menu. We visited for a dinner and also at lunch time. There’s an excellent atmosphere and it’s located in a vibrant and safe environment. What made our trip special was the staff - they were beyond amazing and I can’t wait to go back next visit.

Went for dinner here mid week and hadn't been for a while. The tapas food is still delicious 😋 really good quality ingredients, fresh and cooked perfectly. The service is efficient and the atmosphere is great too. It's a great little spot halfway up yhe high street and it's not too busy. We had various dishes including the chicken skewers, sizzling king prawns in garlic and chilli (yum!), peppers, patatas bravas and a few others too. Great price, lovely wine selection and would recommend!

Very awful experience and those who are against racism please avoid these place as they serve food by seeing your skin colour and not by their hotel reservations. The guy (middle aged wears specs) as he desperately didn’t allow me to have food in this place. This was my story as I walked into the restaurant on Saturday afternoon around 1pm and the place wasn’t too busy as I can see empty tables around and the guy who was standing near the till told me that they can’t serve me and said that it’s fully booked for the day and I asked him if I can have takeaway and he still refused saying that they don’t have license to serve takeaway food. He was trying to make me leave the place as I was just asking when is the best time to book for reservations and he said that he is not sure and ignored me. As I can see empty tables there I came out of the restaurant and called the restaurant number from google and asked them if I can bookings for two persons and the lady staff said yes and offered me a table within half an hour. This was my experience and I was really offended by the guy’s behaviour

The best tapas I’ve had and I’ve had a lot !! Great food, great service & overall great everything!! The Espresso martini is a must have. Staff are so welcoming, looks like they have a very close knit happy team which says a lot about how great this restaurant is. The food comes out steaming hot. They could charge double on each dish and it would still be worth the money. I can’t say enough good things about this place I would travel to Folkestone just to come back!!

Authentic Spanish tapas. Living in Spain I can say all the homemade tapas is divine. It’s a must go to spot in Folkestone.

Today my husband and I had a lovely celebration lunch here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was very delicious with outstanding flavours and freshly prepared. Ambience sitting in the little court yard garden was peaceful and relaxing. Staff and service was super friendly and helpful. They had even paid special attention yhat it was our anniversary and offered a desert to share on the house. This was a lovely gesture and a nice touch. Lovely little gem of a resturant.

Had huge expectations from the wonderful reviews but was displeased by the experience. Pizzas were burnt at the bottom although we ordered Napolitana pizza which should not be that charred. My little one ordered Mac & cheese and that came in piping hot skillet but centre if the dish was absolutely chilled.. we sent it back and it came back with stretchy cheese. Did not like the taste of the food at all. Have had pizza in multiple places all around the world and wasn’t impressed with this one. Their loo’s have such interesting taps.. unfinished raw lol dont know if thats a style or just cost cutting. Thank you so much for your service.

Popped in with my wife for lunch. Lovely surroundings and very good service. The waitress was really friendly and nice. The pizza was great and the mac and cheese very good. Smashing coffee too. Please open a branch in Sidcup

Their pizza has a truly Italian style, which I really liked. I did feel it was a little overcooked — slightly too burnt for my taste — but it was still authentically Italian. The tiramisu was delicious! The only real disappointment was the long wait; we had to wait about 50 minutes for the pizza. The good news is that it was half-price today, so that helped make up for it.

Did the bottomless pizza+beer. 10/10 experience. Pizzas are huge. Rapid service. You’re allowed half/half pizzas too. Never an empty glass. Even offered to wrap up our leftovers to take away. Will be booking again very soon - definitely worth it.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here - the pizzas were excellent with great sourdough bases and generous toppings, while the mac and cheese was amazing! The service was prompt and friendly and it was good value overall.

Pizzas (4 of ours) were burnt and smelled really bad, but they did not accept it and said it is normal!!! The veggie with humus came without humus and they said ee ran out of humus! Also the kid’s pasta was FULL of tomato sauce!

Had pizzas here after a couple of 2 for 1 cocktails at Rocksalt on a Thursday between 5 and 7pm. The pizzas here have got to be some of the best I've had. The dough is sourdough and was cooked to perfection in the 400c pizza oven. Service was superb as we expected to be waiting for a while as there was a large corporate party in at the same time with 50 or so diners! Great place, great people, will do it again. The bar is quirky too, like a table with beer pumps on it 😁

This ain't london! £7 for a Hoffmister, proper taking the piss. Your not realising that if you keep it £5.50 - £6.00 people will stay and have a couple at least, but the moment you hear £7 your off. Foolish

My son turned 10 and The Space Bar pizzas are his absolute favs! We were able to book out the whole bar for 30 of us including 13 of my sons friends! To have an hour & half of fun games & delish pizzas! The manager & barmaid were delightful, helping at every opportunity they could! They played a playlist suited to the party & put their disco lights with disco ball on for the whole time too! They made a personalised menu board for the kids & made them feel like grown ups allowing them to order their own pizzas and drinks! They added ice-cream as a desert too. We had a few coeliac guests and one dairy intolerant and these were served the same quality pizzas suiting their needs 😊 If Space Pizzas are a favourite of your family I 100% Recommend getting in touch to book for a special occasion.

This was a lovely place to pass the time on a sizzling spring afternoon. The tunes and vibe reminded me of sunny days in Ibiza. Shame we couldn't hang out longer now that we have a toddler and dog on tow but they also felt very welcome here. Lovely clean toilets too.

This bar has a great, joyful atmosphere! Its very vibey and the noise level is just right. I stayed at the AirBnB room they have attached to the bar - this was also very clean, private, felt super safe, and they provided me with milk for tea/coffee in the morning. It was the perfect space for my solo journey to Folkestone!

Didn't manage to get a look inside but felt super welcomed in the outside area and staff were lovely ♡ Me, my mrs and our friends had a great time. Even got a peak in the room they offer there and its super cute too ♡ Highly recommend x

For no reason I've walked past this place for too long! Randomly went in to have a look around and stayed for a quick drink! Saw one of the pizzas come out and looked and smelt lovely and will definitely go back to try them. Nice beer selection and one of the best looking garden areas in Folkestone!

I really like this place! It's different, it's quirky, it hits the "this is why Folkestone is a great place to visit " nail, right on the head. Yes the cocktails are expensive, but you tell me a place where they aren't, plus, you don't have to drink cocktails *other drinks are available!" You pay your money and you make your choice. The place has a great atmosphere and caters to all age groups, I've always found a very eclectic crowd in the place and unlike one of the other reviewers, I've always found the staff to be friendly and attentive. Josh, the barman, in particular. He pays attention to his customers and goes out of his way to make sure they're happy - on our last visit he asked us all our names, so we'd no longer be anonymous. That kind of service makes you feel welcome. We really like the place. Oh and in the summer the garden is open too, with music... and the atmosphere extends out there. On another note it used to be a record shop, that I happened to manage for a number of years - there's a commemorate plaque outside on the wall. So it was a great record shop and now it's a great bar..there must be some positive force in the bricks and mortar!

We went to Little Rock 2 weeks ago and it was overall a good restaurant. Food and service was great It gets busy quickly so better book or walk in early The highlight for us was the catch of the day which well cooked and the prices were reasonable Main disappointment were the scallop though. 3 small scallops for £17 as a starter is a bit too much

Staff is very helpful and kind. The food was very good. My fish doesn’t have any sauce as I asked for due to my allergies. The staff made sure that all my food requirements are met. The atmosphere was very nice as well. We will definitely come back.

Had a wonderful birthday lunch here and even though it was wet and windy outside it was super cosy inside. A stunning location right on the seafront. The food was delicious and so well cooked. I had the catch of the day plaice, my niece had soft shell crab and partner had cod cheeks. Super chocolate brownies according to the kids. Downside they forgot our starters but were very apologetic. Turned out we really didn’t need starters, main course and desert was plenty. Slightly stingy on portion sizes for chips and salad but all delicious. The kids eat free was such a good offer as with 3 kids and 3 adults it worked out well. Service was excellent and so was the atmosphere - relaxed but very special.

If you are looking for a quality food on the beach! Fresh fish prepared with attention, not overloaded with sauces so that you can really taste its. Great oysters too for the season.

Super informal, bistro-style restaurant bordering on the stoney beach to the South Side of Folkestone's harbour arm. There is plenty of internal and shaded external seating. All aspects of service were excellent, from seating, to order taking, to food presentation right through to clearing and presentation of the bill. There is a limited seafood-based menu which we found to offer plenty of choice and allowed for speedy service. All the plates, dishes and glassware are themed in same nautical white and blue which is a nice touch. Cutlery is of a good standard too. Our dishes of pale ale battered cod cheeks were very good and extremely well presented. The fish was tender, tasty and fresh and the pale ale batter was crisp and delicious, not at all oily. The home-chipped potatoes were among the best I've tasted anywhere. This was our first visit and we'd most definitely return. A great new find.

What an amazing find by the sea! Great atmosphere to begin with. The menu is so well organised you have great choice of food and drinks. Our little girl loved Cod cheeks and chips! Crab with brown crab mayo is AMAZING. What a little star Polly is !!! We watched her work and were amazed by her. Thank you all!

Great Staff, food and atmosphere. We had lunch here today as a belated Father’s Day gift. Highly recommend the seafood platter

I've been meaning to come to Marleys for a while, it's been on the list for ages so the anticipation and expectation were high. Finally made it in late Feb25, I was being healthy but my bro was with me to balance it out. Went for pork belly and calamari starters. Man do we love pork belly, it's one of my faves, always a must try if it's on the menu - they didn't disappoint, perfectly cooked, juicy and crunchy, so so good. The Calamari is on every menu these days and shouldn't be hard to nail, but it was chewy/overcooked, coating was tempura light and it didn't keep together - a shame. The mains saved the day and were all round winners, we love them them burgers, bro was very impressed with it. And I was very happy with the duck, cauliflower puree, kale were cooked perfectly and delicious. It was finished with excellent accoutrements (shallots, berries, pomegranate), with tangy shots of flavour complimenting and lifting the other flavours. A nice vibe, and service was nothing short of excellent - nailed the attentive and friendly balance. Expensive, a bit, delicious a lot. Look forward to returning.

Decided to visit after a long hike. We hadn't made a booking but the hostess was professional and welcoming, offering us a table. Service was quick, friendly and flawless. We both had the Pork Belly on creamy mash and it was to die for. Cooked to perfection. Most, if not all, dishes seem to have a gluten free option, which was welcomed. I'm 100% going to visit again to treat my partner. The atmosphere is really intimate and chilled so perfect place for a date night.

Had no reservations and they got us in really quick! Super friendly and really really good food!! Chicken was crazy good, Marley burger the wife loved. The pork bites tasted great! Thanks. Had 0 space for desert but I saw some and it looked great.

Popped in today with no reservation. Greeted by friendly staff who took great care in their service. We treated ourselves to slice of cake and drink and saw many amazing meals being taken out. Very reasonably priced and generous portions. We plan to return for dinner whilst on holiday. Highly recommend!

Nice brunch spot in Folkestone. We visited on a Sunday lunch time and were greeted by friendly staff and we didn’t have to wait for a table. Our food arrived fairly quickly but our coffees arrived after our food. We both opted for Marleys Brekkie which was good but did feel a little overpriced. I would return to try the pancakes, they looked delicious!

Beautiful experience and atmosphere. We went for weekend brunch and tasted great choice of improved classics. Loved it!

Friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food and coffee. Highly recommend!
