It was our first time here, the food was tasty and the service was outstanding. The only thing stopping me from giving a full 5 stars is the dirty table and glass.

This was our first visit to this Cafe and we were pleased with the service and food. The menu is varied and we were spoilt for choice. The prices are reasonable and we enjoyed our meal. The place was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing and we did not have to wait long for our food. There are toilets available. We certainly will visit again soon.

We booked a table for the 3 course £19.95 lunchtime menu after reading many positive reviews and we are so glad that we did. We had Brie and tempura prawns to start followed by liver with bacon and moussaka, finishing with chocolate fondue and biscoff cheesecake. Everything that we had was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The wine was well chilled and reasonably priced. All the staff were efficient and friendly and the service was attentive but not intrusive, just as it should be. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Friendly family run restaurant. Great food quick service. Only 3 stars for atmosphere because near the end of our meal at a table of 7 ladies. They seated 15 people next to us on one long, put together tables. The noise they made with seating then talking meant we couldn't hear ourselves talking. Fortunately we were chucked off the tables we were on to seat another party.

Wow! What a wonderful first experience we had! 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 small. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Meze was AMAZING and great value. Service was top class, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We went for a special occasion and felt we were really treated as such. Thank you for making my 45th birthday memorable for all of us. Oh and the Cherry crush cocktail, LUSH. Only 1 photo as we were too busy having a great time.

We celebrated our Nans 90th birthday here today and the food and the service was first class . All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There was no waiting for our starters or main meals or desserts they all come out together which was great service. All our food was very tasteful and my wife and myself will certainly return for a meal there .

Popped in here for a lite lunch before hitting the harbour. We were seated quickly without booking, which was great for a Sat. The food was good, but large portions, so be aware.

Marley's is amazing. I have been here a couple of times with friends and family and I have never been disappointed. Both times I have been here have been for breakfast. The first time I had their version of a fry up and the second time I had pancakes. The fry up was amazing. Really nice sausages and eggs and it was all locally sourced. The pancakes were peanut butter and strawberry. The peanut butter was made at Marleys and I did ask if I could buy some. The price is fair as well and very good value as they make some of the food and buy locally. If you are coming for the pancakes it's worth knowing that they change the topping week to week so look at their Instagram.

We were lucky to get a table for early dinner and were not disappointed. The smashed burger was delicious and the service was fantastic and friendly. Food was hot and we hardly waited ten minutes. Great that it’s not overpriced and they don’t automatically add service charge to your bill. We shall definitely return soon. give the overpriced harbour arm a miss and visit this gem

🤩 Took a trip from Margate especially to revisit Marleys. Their service is fantastic and food is just delicious ! Excellent prices for the quality of the food you are getting. So much cheaper than Margate cafes 💰 🐶🛑 NOTE: the cafe js NOT dog friendly if you want to eat a meal (u can have a coffee at the front) so you have to leave your furry friend at home!

Lovely meal, great service. The sharing platter for starters was really nice. For mains, I would highly recommend the pork belly or the steak. Went for an anniversary meal and every staff member to came to the table wished us a happy anniversary and had a little personal note on the table it was a nice touch 😊

Let's Amore Sicilian Bakery and More...

The Signal Box, Harbour Arm, Folkestone CT20 1QH, UK

5.0 (45 reviews)

P: 07961 964503

Found this gem by accident. The owner is an Italian chef. He is very serious about foods. He told us his pistachio croissants are sourced from a local bakery from Sicily, Italy. The croissants are exceptional. They are flaky and crunchy from the outside. The pistachio filling tastes natural and the sweetness is just right. It adds an excellent touch to croissants. We never knows croissants can taste that good with pistachios. We also tried sfogliatella, a kind of cream pastry. The cream filling adds a touch of clove, which opens our eyes on the use of such strong herb in desserts. The coffee beans are sourced from a local roastery from Eastbourne. The owner believes that small local producers/farmers know how to make/grow their specialty, as compared to commercial producers who only care about cost. We share this belief too because during our UK travel, our two best restaurants are both small restaurants in remote parts of Scotland who sourced their ingredients locally. One is on the remote part of Island of Skype. The other is on the highest town in the highlands.

Lovely little cafe. They still keep the control indicator light there as decor which is a nice touch. The coffee is good. And the pizza fritta is really tasty, and it is served piping hot. Also has a good view over the harbour.

Quaint coffee/snack outlet in the former signal box, complete with signal levers, etc. Lovely coffee and Sicilian snack. Sat outside as weather was warm and sunny. Owner (?) even took the time to explain how the special Sicilian snacks were prepared. Will go again!

Great stop for coffee during a coastal dog walk, located inside the old signal box at the entrance to the harbour arm. The owner is Sicilian and the food and drink reflect his homeland superbly, coupled with the local heritage and views across the fishing boats and white cliffs coastline. Superb!

Wonderfully creative vegan food, that deserves a Michelin Star ⭐⭐⭐ There is something quite delightful about not having to ask "is this vegan?"! We're always delighted with flavour profiles, the inventive team come up with. We shared 4 small plates, and only just had enough room for pudding... Which you must not miss! Cosy and intimate, but not stuffy. If you've not been, do it!

Absolutely amazing food! My husband is a vegan, we tried lots of different kinds of vegan food before, this one is definitely the best vegan food we have had. We also can feel all the love from the food 😊

In the heart of Folkestone, this vegan gem offers a delightful brunch experience. With a clever menu overlap between breakfast (10-3) and lunch (12-4), you're spoilt for choice. The pea pancakes were a surprising hit - even for our pea-skeptic child! Paired with yogurt and stewed fruits, it's a flavour combo that works. My nourishing bowl of kale, sauerkraut, tempeh, mushrooms, and rice was a wholesome delight. The relaxed atmosphere and good tunes create a perfect backdrop for people-watching as Folkestone's tourists stroll by. Ample seating options cater to all preferences. A solid spot for vegans and curious foodies alike. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town!

Could not have been more impressed with CSPM, doing a job restoring power to my 80yr old Mum's flat. They came at short notice (within an hr or so of getting a call) worked hard, worked late into the evening to get everything resolved, were really good with my Mum and were incredibly reasonable - don't hesitate to use these guys

CSPM Electrical carried out electrical work within a commercial unit for me. I highly recommend their services, the work was completed to a high standard, everything was cleaned and tidied up and his communication was brilliant.

Highly Recommended Joe and Lewis installed new circuits for our kitchen recently, including various lighting solutions, plus a new consumer unit and an EV charger. They are highly professional, punctual, tidy, arrive when they say they are going to and nothing is too much trouble. I like the fact that Joe has a can-do attitude and rather than just taking the easy route he works with you to develop your own ideas, suggesting alternatives to consider and helps to save costs where possible. I will definitely be using Parker Electrical for any future requirements.
