We visit this cafe as we are members of the EKR. We travel down from Lincolnshire quite often and head for the café in the morning. Always welcomed very clean great atmosphere. Food is cooked fresh & hot, good sized helpings, always empty plates. The breakfast sets you up for the day, recommend the brake van.

Great family run farm kitchen, homemade pies and a good breakfast menu. Plenty of parking space and friendly staff. Make sure you book in advance. Delivery will be available soon.

This is a lovely farm restaurant which caters to all. It's really family friendly and we've had no problem bringing a 4 month old along with us and feeling out of place. The servers are always friendly and there's a good choice of breakfast food on the menu. There's a very nice atmosphere outside when the weather is sunny. I'll definitely be back.

I'm so glad we found this place on our holiday. Stopped in for some lunch and had a very tasty meal. I had the homemade steak chilli which was amazing. Our daughter had a perfect sized portion of pancakes, bacon and hash browns for a really reasonable price. 100% recommend, and sad we didn't have more time to come back again

I recently had the most delightful breakfast experience at Little Farthingloe Farm in Dover, and I couldn't wait to share it. The setting was idyllic, with the farm nestled amidst rolling hills and offering stunning views. The menu was a delicious blend of classic English breakfast favorites and fresh, seasonal ingredients. I opted for the Full English, and it was absolutely perfect. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the bacon was crispy, and the sausages were bursting with flavor. The toast was thick-cut and perfectly grilled, and the beans were creamy and satisfying. But what truly set Little Farthingloe Farm apart was the quality of the ingredients. It was clear that the farm takes great pride in sourcing local, fresh produce. The tomatoes were juicy and sweet, and the mushrooms had a rich, earthy flavor. To top it off, the service was impeccable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure that every detail of our meal was perfect. If you're ever in Dover, I highly recommend visiting Little Farthingloe Farm for breakfast. It's a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.

I found this place on Google maps on a visit to Dover and I could not be happier with my experience. Warm welcome by all the staff. Friendly and helpful. Decor was fresh and the place was bigger than I expected for a high street cafe. Food was cooked perfectly.

Really special little place and your order is made with care. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, a very smooth biscoff latte, and a avocado toast, all which made a great start to my Monday morning. Team was sweet and attentive.

Had a weekend brunch at this nice cute cafe. Ordered the chicken and waffle. The presentation is lovely , and taste was great too. The only thing that caught me by surprise was that the waffle was quite soft and I thought it wasn’t cooked through. I let the staff and cook know and turns out that they use a batter that makes softer waffles as opposed to the crispy one that we usually have. They were very nice and made a crispy version for me afterwards, thank you, will be back!

Super enjoyable brunch with the family and dog! We really enjoy going to here, but it is not a place to go if you're in a rush... The service is notoriously very slow due to minimal staffing. Those of us that love the food and coffee accept this, but it's fair to say that it could be much speedier This place has a cosy, compact feel with windows around the majority of the perimeter, great for a bit of people watching... and is always full! Beautifully cooked food that ticks all boxes... Flavoursome, nicely served and filling. You won't leave feeling hungry

Amazing food at a really reasonable price. I had the tikka bread, girlfriend had the moules frites. Both were so good. Would recommend anyone to eat here if you’re in Folkestone, just a short walk up from the beach, through the old high street. Definitely coming back!

We’re a family of three who came on a Sunday morning for late brunch. As I mentioned to the service ladies, we loved their restaurant! The place is packed with collections of novelty/ relic and antique style of things and plants, even the black board with food of the day is a cute being. We did wait 30mins for food to arrive but the time we spent was worth while. Delicious delicates, thoughtfully displayed, worth the money, worth the photo post on Instagram, worth the like. Thank you guys!

Finally managed to have a bite here after trying for ages. Luckily for us, the rain kept the numbers down from going outside on this day! Gotta say the wait was well worth it. Tasty food, decent sized portions, very customer friendly prices and polite staff in a great establishment (especially if you pop downstairs). I would describe the dishes we had but the photos should give you a clue! Most definitely going to visit again and hopefully catch it on a sunny day, at the right time.

We casually discovered this place and were amazed by what it is. Everyone is welcomed and anyone pay how much he can. Even though it is a a social enterprise, the quality of the food is very high. We ate a roll with bacon, eggs and sausages. Lovely! Volunteers were friendly and polite. You should try it!

The First Light Bistro, now under new management, has truly transformed into a culinary gem. The star of the kitchen, Amy, has worked wonders with the menu, delivering dishes that are both inventive and delectably satisfying. Each bite is a testament to her skill and passion for cooking. The service is equally commendable—prompt, attentive, and unfailingly courteous, which adds to the overall delightful dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an exceptional meal. However, due to its growing popularity, it’s advisable to book a table in advance.

FirstLight Bistro is a charming little cafe in St Margaret's Bay that serves up amazing breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always happy to help. I've tried both the vegan and regular breakfasts, and both were delicious. The vegan breakfast is made with avocado, tomato, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, and toast, and it's packed with flavor. The regular breakfast is also very good, with all the classic ingredients you'd expect. I've also tried the sausage rolls. They're absolutely delicious, and they're a great option if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. For dessert, I recommend the biscoff or fruit bun. Overall, I highly recommend FirstLight Bistro. It's a great place to go for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee and cake. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Great place to eat on Cheriton High Street near the bus stop. I had a small breakfast which was tasty and cooked lovely, nice and hot, the egg was nice and tasty, along with the sausage and bacon, and beans. The fried bread was very nice too. Comes with a cup of tea. Good price for a breakfast £7.50. The service was very quick and the staff nice and friendly. Nice friendly atmosphere.

They do very good food with nice generous side salads. The staff are friendly, hardworking, folk and it's a good place for coffee. The clientele are a mixed bag. If you're lucky it's peaceful, but at other times the bling bling tracksuit mob turn up and treat the place like a pub taking loud phone calls in various languages.

We didn’t realise this was a halal restaurant when we came in but actually really enjoyed the halal English breakfast - everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty, and they were very good on ensuring my food was dairy free. Kids also enjoyed calamari and chips, and a panini, and generously sized smoothies. Service was exceptionally friendly. Definitely recommend!

Stopped in for a breakfast to take with me to the train station. I ordered a decaff iced coffee, and a bacon, brie and cranberry panini (£10.90 all together). The coffee and food came quickly, and I took it away to eat. The panini was delicious, and the iced coffee was good too, just could have done with some sugar added to the hot coffee before it was poured, but I didn't ask for sugar so that was my error. The manager was around checking things and the staff were friendly, wearing their hair coverings and were presentable and clean. I'd recommend this establishment and will very likely be back again, next time I'm in Dover.
