Can not recommend This company enough absolutely brilliant service from start to finish always kept me updated with all aspects of the work and Ryan is a top bloke very helpful and knowledgeable in all he does thanks again Ryan great job : )

Great service, quick to reply to emails and whatsapp. Gave me advice on the best EV charger for my home and explained how to use it clearly. Nice and neat installation.
Rating: 5 / 5
I used EV Connect to install a Simpson & Partners EV charger. The quote was competitively priced, and Ryan was able to undertake the install within 2 weeks of booking - which is great in the current market. The installation looks great and was completed in under 3 hours. Ryan tidied up before departing, and also gave me a good run-through of the Simpson & Partners app, as well as taking me through the work that had been done. Recommended.

Easee One EV point install. I’d shopped about before I emailed Ryan. Ryan was polite and his communication via email was always brilliant. He came to my home and quoted my wife who had no prior knowledge of this. Ryan explained everything to great detail about the install. My wife was happy. Install came at a date and time convenient to ourselves. Very neat work and again he explained everything to wife on the day. Ryan contacted myself via email as well. I’ll will highly recommend EV Connect SE ltd. I’m really happy with every step. Thank you Ryan

Ryan provides an amazing service from start to finish. He installed my EV charger, efficiently and in a non disruptive manor. I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

Rating: 5 (15) Price Level:
I have used Antonio on numerous occasions, most recently to rewire my house and add new outdoor electrical outlets for security cameras and lighting. It was a large job due to its complexity and the need to add consumer units to different parts of the property. Antonio's price was very competitive, but most importantly he was professional, polite and flexible. My frequent mind changes did not phase him at all, and he did not show any annoyance (I would not have been so accomodating). His workmanship and knowledge was top notch, likely from his teaching background. I have included a picture of how neat his wiring was for a consumer unit installation. If you are looking for a professional and dependable electrician, I could not reccommend Antonio highly enough.
Rating: 5 / 5
Antonio came recommended by a colleague, its not hard to see why. He is always on time, nothing is too much and charges very reasonable rates. There are several jobs that need to be done throughout the house but the first job he did was to replace our switchboard. The work is to a very high standard, he leaves things clean and tidy when he is done. It's very hard these days to find a reliable craftsman and I am very pleased to have come across Antonio. Don't look further if you are looking for a very skilled and punctual electrician who is a top guy to boot!
Rating: 5 / 5
Our friends recommended Antonio to us. Antonio is extremely professional and reliable. He has academic and professional knowledge in his field. He plans his work in detail and always offers best solution. He leaves the work place spotlessly clean. He offers competitive prices. We have used Antonio’s services 4 times now and we have recommended his services to our neighbours and friends. We cannot thank Antonio enough. Amazing guy! Excellent work ethics! Excellent standards of work! Highly recommend!
Rating: 5 / 5
Antonio did a great job doing the electrics in my flat, he is easy to get on with and someone you can trust. He has brought the electrics up to date at a price I was more than happy with. I would highly recommend Antonio and if I need an electrician in the future I would definitely use him again.
Rating: 5 / 5
All the work carried out by Antonio has been done with 100% commitment, professionalism and consideration.We are so glad to have found a tradesman happy in his work that you can rely on and trust.

We visited here after looking around town for somewhere to have dessert. We really lucked out. The place is newly decorated and is really cute. The passion fruit and mango chiller was delicious and our desserts not only looked good but were delicious! The service was perfect and we really loved the music which set a nice chilled vibe. Will definitely visit again when in the area.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice looking restaurant. The savoury part of the waffle 🧇 is a bit bland, but I like the combo of savoury and sweet in one plate. The burger is good. One of the friends ordered the sandwich which seems to be the best. :)

My husband and I visited Folkestone for a mini break and came to Mocka for breakfast. We'd seen good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Spectacular! The breakfasts were beautifully presented and of high quality. We'd recommend this place highly. Wishing the owners a lot of success in your venture.

One of the best restaurants I ever had in the uk. The chef team have extreme well control on fire power. Excellent seasoning. And cozy vibe. Dog friendly. I am a chef as well, so it is a honest and genuine review.
Rating: 4 / 5
Great vibe from the decor and layout throughout into the beer garden - a feeling of quality and attention to detail. I appreciated the range of drinks - local beers and ciders sourced locally + wide selection of wines. I initially called in for a drink in the evening, and decided to stay for dinner ordering the ribeye steak, which was tasty. I returned the next morning to sample the brunch, choosing the smashed avocado with smoky bacon on sourdough, and a cappuccino. I found the service relaxed and welcoming from bar staff and table servers, who were also very attentive.
Rating: 5 / 5
We originally chose this pub, because we were looking for a dog friendly eaterie in the centre of Folkestone. We were pleasantly surprised by the stylish interior, with lots of gleaming copper, and the menu choices, which combine old favourites with unusual, like curried cauliflower tacos. The service was friendly and efficient. It all made for a very enjoyable lunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
UNBELIEVABLE. We visited this evening for dinner and I couldn't hold back on leaving a review! Neil and the team in the kitchen satisfied taste buds that I didn't know existed - we tried multiple dishes and were not disappointed by a single bite. We ventured out of our usual comfort foods (bar my steak) and have left wanting more. We are definitely going to returning as soon as possible to try and complete the menu!
Rating: 4 / 5
I was staying in a nearby hotel and I popped in for a couple of pints. This place has a nice beer garden and I like the copper pumps behind the bar. The barman was friendly and I managed to try a couple of pints of Duddas Tun cider. Which I'd not seen before. I would recommend the Elderflower one. If you should ever happen to see this Paul, great recommendation.

Sunshine Folkestone Bistro

Rating: 4.5 (456) Price Level:
A lovely discovery day 1 but day 2 not so good. I had breakfast and the food was cooked beautifully and with quality ingredients. Further, the kitchen amended the standard menu listing to what I wanted. Comfortable surrounds . Pleasant staff with largely good and speedy service. Given the table call buttons and waiting on service the 'welcome desk' is somewhat formal and unnecessary . Not the cheapest but I think with the positive experience largely appropriate ... It means it's a now and again treat rather than more regular. I will definitely be returning here. I did return the next day as it happened given I was so pleased. Alas the same breakfast was one poached egg and one tomato less than the day before. The manager did bring a second egg but was very reluctant and was abrasive rather than apologetic, suggesting I'd ordered extra the day before . Hopefully a one off blip as the food was again good and not a weights and measures issue. He then tried to charge me for the 2nd egg but finally gave in to just charging 30 p more for a one tomato less meal than yesterday ! I think they need to get their act together here as they turned a delighted returning customer into one that would consider twice about going a further time. My initial five stars across the board have been revised down.

Visited here many times with friends and family and will continue to do so! Beautiful interior and lovely staff members make the atmosphere feel welcoming. Great food and drink every single visit, I highly recommend the hot chocolates!

It was very tasty 🤤 My steak tasted amazing 🤩 I have eaten this many times in different establishments, but in your establishment it was 10/10 Thank you ☺️
Rating: 5 / 5
Have been several times now for breakfast. Food was delicious and well presented. So far, there isn't anything on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Staff has always been nice and friendly. The time to wait for food was less than what I expected, granted, I missed the peak times. The restaurant itself is clean and has a nice style that sets it apart from the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

Celebrated my birthday at the Sunshine last night and had a lovely evening. Food, drinks and service was unmatched! Already looking forward to my next visit. A big shout out to Adam! And the rest of the Sunshine team. Will definitely be returning.

Rating: 4.6 (1104) Price Level:
Came for a celebration meal with family. Managed to get a seat outside without reserving, but looks like it gets pretty busy so probably best to book ahead. Had the platter for 2/3 people to share with two cold meze to start. The stuffed vine leaves were very good! The star of the show was the meats, all of which were full of flavour and juicy! There was a lot of rice and bulgur to go with it so definitely a good portion for 3 people. To finish I had a Turkish coffee which came with a piece of Turkish delight. I'd not had a Turkish coffee before, but I was very pleasantly surprised as it had a similar taste to chocolate. Staff were great and the price was fairly reasonable for the portion size you get!
Rating: 5 / 5
Woooow! Don’t think about it just book it. It’s was amazing. The staff could not do enough for you. The food portions were huge, and tasted AMAZING! Finished off by complementary lolly pops for the kids and baklava and Turkish tea for us! We will be returning more than once. Thank you a great experience.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely meal for 2 with mixed grill, chicken shish, beers and lots of freebie extras like bread and baklava for around £60: staff were great too.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went there last week and had a great experience. They serve excellent Turkish dishes- the kebabs and platters were generous in portion and tastes great. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I noticed afterwards that they didn’t include a service fee in the bill which I only realized when I got home. Could leave a tip for the great service. Despite this, I recommend this place for their food and service

Very nice restaurant, quick and professional service. The food is good, not excellent. My favorite part were the olives and the pasta with frutti di mare was surprisingly spicy. Located near the main creative street, good option if you are looking for something quick to eat

This place is amazing. The decor inside is gorgeous. Proper Italian vibe. Food menu is great, also for kids too. Seafood ravioli was my favourite. Staff/waitress were amazing and also on hand. No complaints whatsoever 👌

A nice restaurant serving Italian style food, my calzone pizza was very good, and very filling. Staff friendly. I also noted that they are dog friendly as well. Will return if I am in Folkestone

Kazoku
1 The Leas, Folkestone CT20 2DR, UK | Japanese Restaurant P: 01303 901896
Rating: 4.6 (220) Price Level:
Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.
Rating: 5 / 5
(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great experience here. Superb value for money with the all you can eat sushi menu. high quality & great selection. Staff attentive & friendly
Rating: 5 / 5
Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

Coopson Technologies Ltd

Rating: 4.6 (12) Price Level:
Outstanding service! Its alway tricky to find a professional and reliable contractor. We were very fortunate to discover coopson technologies. We required a full 'Electrical Installation Condition Report' for a property purchase and chose coopson, after speaking with 3 contractors in the area, as we were so impressed with how helpful Lewis was when speaking on the phone. He was able to accommodate the day we needed and his communication was excellent throughout. The test was carried out and the report followed promptly. I asked to speak with Lewis over the phone to go over a couple of highlighted areas and, again, he was very helpful. A couple of minor issues required further works which he was happy to discuss and book in at a time that suited us after completion of the purchase. 5* service and will definitely be using Coopson for future works! Thanks
Rating: 5 / 5
I am a first time buyer and had a survey done on the house I am hoping to buy which required me to get someone to look at the electrics. Lewis at Coopson Technologies could not have been more friendly and helpful. I was booked in within the week to have an electrical EICR report. I was talked through everything on the report. Everything was explained and nothing was too much trouble. As a first time buyer I was nervous and asked a lot of questions! I am really happy I booked this company and when I get the house (fingers crossed) I will be booking Lewis for the jobs listed, thanks again. A happy customer!
Rating: 5 / 5
I cannot praise Lewis highly enough for his quick and helpful response. He walked me through fault finding over the phone and I would highly recommend Coopson technologies to anyone.
