Best Places and Services in Bonnington, Kent (2025)

We really enjoyed Juliet's. The milkshake there is some of the best I've had at a really reasonable price, and the breakfast food was all delicious. They've all been really accommodating if we've brought children or babies along - it helps that there's a whole flock of chickens outside looking to be fed, which is entertaining. The toilet they have is through the restaurant past seated tables - so it's possible to reach it if you have trouble walking or rely on a mobility assistance, but you might have to be willing to ask people to move. Also, their orange juice is proper squeezed juice! Delicious!

I had wanted to come here for a while after seeing it on a friend’s Instagram story, so came for lunch with my daughter. All the service staff are very friendly and welcoming, it’s set in a lovely location. I’m not sure if they do play it everyday, but there was soft country music playing in the background which was so nice and nostalgic. The food was incredible and prices were all in all fair too.

Delicious food, lovely service and reasonable prices for what you get. We all enjoyed our brunches.

I'm glad the truck stop on the motorway was closed. The Airport cafe is only just over a mile from the roundabout, wide country road, and plenty of parking. Just had a full English, perfectly cooked and a decent mug of tea, in a proper mug not a paper tumbler. The staff are pleasant and professional. I'm now set up for the day and a long journey. Thanks, girls.! I'll be back. Sorry, no picture, I ate it all,! 28/2/22 Another most enjoyable breakfast. I'm just off the Eurotunnel, and this gives me time to contemplate driving on the other side of the road. 5/9/22 I remembered to take a photograph this time before demolishing the fare. Ok there is a couple of mouthfuls missing. Thanks girls. 1/3/23 Most excellent start to the day, and a warm welcome back into the uk. Keep up the good work. 7/9/23 Another delicious breakfast, and equally important a hot mug of tea. 5/9/24 Another successful visit. "Express breakfast" today, the bubble and squeak was a delicious addition, it comes recommended. Thanks girls, you've brightened my day.

This place is always buzzing and it deserves to be. Great selection of traditional options including all the usual fry up varieties alongside very good coffee and tea. The place is nicely decorated and furnished. A favourite spot to catch up with friends over breakfast.

I had the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich on wholemeal bread, with a salad garnish. My friend had a scone, clotted cream and strawberry jam (other fruit ones available). Pot of tea and a coffee. The menu was nicely varied with some classic options such as Jacket potato, brie and bacon to name a few. Nice themed decorations about tea and cakes with teapots around the ceiling on a winding shelf. Friendly staff.

Loved visiting here! Been here twice in the last month. Lovely friendly service and a great selection of food. Gluten free options too. Not keen on the foamy milkshakes but the coffee is delish! I’ve just revisited for my birthday and OH MY GOD the afternoon tea is amazing!!!! Literally so much for all displayed lovely! The taste is incredible and the staff work tirelessly to ensure the customers are happy! My favourite place ever!! Don’t delay!!! Go and Visit and see for yourself :)

We love this little family run business and Russel and his family are so lovely such an amazing hidden gem in Ashford town. Great coffee and food... The cakes are amazing and we think they sell the best sausage roll around town.

I needed to find an establishment in Ashford that could make and deliver cup cakes for a 90th birthday celebration. I do not live in the area but The Little Teapot was recommended to me by a friend. At quite short notice, everything was sorted for me (super efficient) by Russell and Jacqui. The cup cakes were beautiful and were delivered on time. Highly recommended.

One of my favourite places to eat in Ashford. Don’t be fooled by initial appearances. The decor isn’t fancy or over the top, but the place is clean and tidy. Rather than fancy mirrors, fake palm trees and steam punk lamps this place delivers great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. It reminds me of the honest decent “greasy spoon” cafes of the 1980s - but the food here certainly isn’t greasy! Much prefer places like this where the money is invested in the service and food rather than somewhere else that charges £9.99 for a poached egg on sourdough toast for the privilege of sitting on a futon and eating it off a plank of varnished wood. I never leave here hungry. Can’t fault the food and the prices are competitive and value for the food you get. Everything is hot and cooked fresh. When it’s quiet I’ve had my meal served in well under ten minutes. The first time I didn’t believe it could be cooked fresh - but it was; every mouthful was tasty and hot, even half way through I was still burning my tongue! The staff here are all friendly and helpful. I’ve seen cafes with more staff than this run less efficiently, but here even when busy just one or two lovely ladies are rushing around delivering and taking orders so fast they just don’t seem to stop. And despite this I’ve never had a wrong order or been forgotten. The only downside is I don’t live close enough to visit daily. But then if I did I’d probably be 5 stone heavier by now!

The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Service was great and quick. Food wasn’t that bad so i can say wow. Very reasonable price and well worth a visit if you are looking for a quick bite when shopping in Ashford.

What a delightful gem in the heart of town! My partner and I stopped by on a whim today and were pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive, quick, and delivered with a smile. It was heartwarming to see the café acting as a welcoming hub for the older generation, with staff so familiar with their regulars that they knew their orders before they even sat down. This is exactly what a cafe should be! The portions were generous, and the value for money was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back!

A great place to breakdown! Our motorhome starter motor packed in on site. The staff went out of their way to help us and put us in touch with a local mechanic who came out next day and fitted a replacement part to get us underway and onwards to France. It's a great venue for good food and beer and is dog friendly, as the name implies - but the quiz questions are too hard! So close to the tunnel too. Beware - all being well we will be visiting you again in early January 2025 (but we will avoid parking in the bosses parking space) !

Lovely and lively little pub in the countryside near Ashford. Spent a few hours having a quick lunch and a drink while watching The Rec live. Very good beers (including one specially brewed for the pub), good food (including the icecream) and a big collection of vynil records.

What a great place! A wonderful evening spent with friends. Good atmosphere, amazing food and welcoming staff. Duncan the owner is a real character and loves what he does! I would highly recommend the pizza selection, mine was the Hot Thing 🔥 Pizza base made with flour from the local windmill, deep in toppings and wonderful flavour! Live outdoor music made you feel like you were on holiday. Happy 50th Duncan! 🎂🍻🎊

Looking for a pub car park stop over in our 9 meter motorhome after crossing the tunnel, we had passed two that claimed “ample parking” but unaware you must be able to now buy smart car motorhome and not owning one we persevered, only to drop on this absolute gem of a place. Located on a very smart commercial / retail park, with massive parking, dog walks with foul bins, amazing views, the location was second to none. The venue was, as its name suggests dog friendly, the drinks were well selected and very welcome after 3 months in Europe ! The decor was as funky and inventive as it comes, and the street food was delicious. Well done everyone you have got every element correct on what customers expect, see you same time next year

Visited the Royal Oak Sunday for their carvey. As far as carveys go, it was nice. Service was great, no complaints. Was early, so there wasn't much of an atmosphere. Will return to try other options on the menu, they seem to have some real hearty food available.

Lovely little stop off for lunch on our way to Dymchurch. Great food, gorgeous decor, good prices, lovely service and friendly locals... a real hidden gem!

I love the food here , a good proper breakfast!! A good selection of food to choose from and the bread And butter is proper bread and butter ! I'm talking fresh bread 🍞 My only dislike is the noise levels ,not their fault at all. But when there's a lot of people in the cafe it's extremely loud, but you can eat outside if it's a nice day. The prices are reasonable but it's cash only. Parking is limited but you can park along the road and walk up. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

Best fry up in Kent! We only ever come here for breakfast, so we haven't tried their lunch items. However, their breakfast is incredible. They have a few different fry up options for you to choose from, I always get a set 1, and I change the option for chips or bubble to hash browns. The set 1 and other options comes with crusty bread or toast and a tea, coffee or cold drink. It is cash only, but there is a BP around the corner with a cash point. However it does have a £2.50 charge.

A perfect gem 10 mins from the Le Shuttle exit, a great stop for breakfast for heading on our journey. Well priced and not a spare table showing its popularity. Do not take card so make sure you have some cash.

To our delight, the food arrived promptly, piping hot, and without the usual long wait times. It certainly feels like there's been a change in management, and if so, they're off to an excellent start. Wishing the new team every success – we'll definitely be back!

Excellent customer service and delicious Sunday roast! A hidden gem near Ashford Outlet, perfect for a relaxing Lunch. Highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

We were fortunate enough to stumble across this exceptional country pub. We were welcomed by the landlord and patrons and sat by the fire. Sunday roast was faultless and you can have up to 4 choices of meat/veggie options on one plate. Also there were complementary sanitary products in the toilets!

I randomly came across this pub during my cycling trip and I have to say that I have a truly great experience there. They accepted to cook a fish and chips even though the kitchen had closed. Food was delicious and everyone was very kind! I very much recommend this pub and hope that i'll have the opportunity to go back! Thanks again to the White Horse team for such a nice moment!

A popular and busy pub with great atmosphere, excellent service, and top food. I had ribeye steak and it was perfect. Great crust, exactly medium rare and melted like butter in my mouth. The service was excellent from all, but in particular Lucy, who dealt with the most of our table.

The best roast you will ever taste!!!! Large portions. Crispy potatoes,well cooked veg, delicious gravy and yummy Yorkshires. Great service I cant wait to go back. Puddings were obviously just as amazing

First time at The Woolpack but it won't be the last! We booked for a family lunch for 9. The food, mains and dessert course, were, without exception, first class! Freshly cooked, ample portions, great flavours. We were served by friendly staff and the atmosphere was very relaxed. We moved into the garden after lunch, only to be very pleasantly surprised at a lovely, well maintained, open, green space with seating areas, crazy golf ( for a minimal clubs hire fee) and climbing frame for the kids...plus a fabulous outdoor pizza place! I can't rate it highly enough. It's a hidden gem and definitely a place to return to! Thankyou Woolpack team! We've had a fantastic English pub experience, best one in a long time and certainly the best pub food!🥰
