Nice little cafe offering an assortment of food and hot/cold drinks too. The price is about average and the food was hot and didn’t take to long to be served once ordered. Yes it’s wheelchair accessible but the parking is hit and miss as it’s on the corner of a main road and side street. The staff were welcoming which is a bonus but it’s only downside I’d say it’s quite small inside.

Loaf

We had breakfast at Loaf on our way back to the ferry in Dover and the food and drinks were very good and tasty! At first my boyfriend was a bit disappointed that they don’t serve a full English Breakfast, but he LOVED his meal (and so did I). Best breakfast we had during our trip. Tip: when you order a meal that doesn’t include the potato salad, ask for it as an extra! It’s the best potato salad I ever had. The staff was very nice and welcoming and the toilets were clean. We absolutely recommend stopping here for food and drinks!

A Perfect Breakfast Spot for Dog Lovers We had the pleasure of visiting Loaf in Folkestone, and it exceeded all expectations. We had the Bacon Ciabatta and Bagel which was tasty, fresh peppermint tea with real leaves and the coffee was top-notch too, perfectly brewed and a great complement to the meal. What makes Loaf even more special is how dog-friendly it is. They welcome dogs with open arms, providing a cozy atmosphere where your furry friend feels just as valued as you do. It’s such a relief to find a spot where you can relax and enjoy a meal without worrying about leaving your dog behind. Another highlight is the location—just a short walk from the beach. It’s the perfect spot to refuel after a morning stroll along the coast. 🐶 Follow @onix.inthewildx on instagram - for more dog friendly adventures!

What a great little cafe in Sandgate. We popped in after walking the dogs for Sunday brunch. Very dog friendly. Small menu but delicious. We all opted for toasties and they were tasty but be warmed, they are big. They make a great selection of fresh smoothies. Value for money and highly recommend this place. £42 for 4 adults.

Rating: 4.3 (1327) Price Level:

Loved this pub/restaurant I first went for a drink and then booked in for dinner. The bar has a fire which is cosy and service is quick. I had the pork belly bites as a snack. In the restaurant my partner had the skate wing which he loved, I had the mussels and as I can’t have diary or wheat the chef made me a special ratatouille type sauce which was as delicious. They had gluten free bread too which was good . Service in the restaurant is also good , the staff know the menus and are helpful. Will definitely be back.

I had a fantastic visit this afternoon! The pub had a great atmosphere and the restaurant upstairs had a lovely decor which nice big windows looking out to the harbour. Faith our waitress made us feel so welcome. The Fish was lovely and fresh and a great price too. Would definitely recommend and will visit again soon.

Called in on my dog walk at the tail end of a Friday. Had a refreshing glass of white wine and the small plate of white bait. Absolutely perfect. Wonderful end to the week and a cracking pub to wind down in. Highly recommend

We sat in the garden, accidentally next to the bins initially, which meant there were a lot of flies. We moved to the middle to eat which was better, and had Harbour Fish Burgers. Whilst the food was very good, fresh fish and homemade tartare sauce and minted mushy peas, we did wait almost 50 minutes for the food to arrive, with no apology for the delay, and no warning when we ordered that it would be a wait. We weren't overly bothered, but others were clearly becoming agitated at waiting so long.

Great place to eat, reasonably priced for good home cooked food. Really large portions. So great value for money. Had a lovely roast lamb dinner. The service is brilliant, the owner is really hard working and has had the cafe since 1975, he is such a happy, helpful caring person. All staff are great and hardworking and always helpful. The atmosphere is great friendly and cosy atmosphere. Situated in the heart of Folkestone near the shops and near the old high street.

The staff were very friendly and did their best to help us celebrate a special day.It has become our annual family tradition to all meet up for a festive menu, pre-Christmas meal as we can't all be together on Christmas day. The menu was lovely and there was a noticeable improvement from the last few years. We had an amazing time.

Rating: 4.4 (1722) Price Level:

Beautiful place to eat with very high quality food. The only downside is (if you’re sitting outside close to the boat docking area) that you always get the horrible smell of the old fishing boats coming to Dock. Maybe the restaurant should close the windows when this is happening as the smell is very intense and sickly. Prices are also very high, higher than most good London restaurants, so not great value for money, but the location/setting and food quality make it a must visit

We had a birthday meal here for my wife and we were both very impressed indeed and both thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The seafood was delicate and delicious, the service from all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially from Annabelle, who was vivacious, funny and very attentive. The setting and the view was top drawer. Prices were what you would expect from a quality restaurant but late evening set menu deal made it accessible for us for a special occasion. Excellent all round. Thank you Annabelle and Rocksalt.

We stopped by for some fish and chips. Top tip, it’s only available in the bar and not the restaurant downstairs. Overall our experience was positive with great food and location with friendly staff. It wasn’t 100% clear where the bathrooms were but they’ve named them the poop deck if you need them. In the bathrooms it was uncomfortably warm but in the bar it was a pleasant temperature. Fish was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the peas. Best fish and chips in Folkestone.
