3 years ago I left this Italian cafe a 5 star review and thought that it was time to update it. This is still one of the best places to eat in Tenterden together with their sister restaurant Montalbano. The staff are absolutely amazing, so attentive and helpful. Sissy has blossomed since taking charge of the cafe and is extraordinary in her ability to make everyone feel welcome and special and manages the staff impeccably. Thanks also to Finley and Crem who also go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. One other thing! They serve the best coffee and cake too!

OK, so much to say....this place is amazing, wonderful, inspiring and fantastic for Vegans who love animals and ‘meat-eaters’ who want to! I can’t think of any other place that puts animals first like this place does. The love is everywhere and it’s catchy. You can get close to all these beautiful friends and really feel like the place is making a difference. The cafe is nothing short of fantastic too, as is the service and the food, which is all 100% Vegan. If you want your kids to understand and appreciate animals, their importance, their welfare and how they need our love and help, then this is it. Be sure to support them while you’re there as it’s free entry so donations are vital. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS, THEY ARE AMAZING1

Highly recommend visiting this place, staff are welcoming and friendly. The charity shop has so many unusual things and reasonably priced. Plenty of animal to see and the cafe is a must visit for the food - all vegan and tastes great.

A fabulous day out - I love it. Spending time with the animals is always a treat, watching their different characters and the way they enjoy their environment. The food in the cafe is delicious (I had 2 cakes!). I like to have a mooch in the charity shop and always find something lovely. I purchased bird food from the shop and fed the array of different birds that were wandering around.

Genuinely lovely rescue sanctuary that helps understand more about why it's important to be kind to all animals. They have a second hand shop, food and cabins to stay in and volunteer at. The volunteers are super lovely!

Been coming to the Bakehouse for years now. Location is beautiful, wonderful decorating inside and out. Emma and rest of staff are always friendly and very helpful. Food is locally sourced and beautifully cooked. Might have to wait a little if busy, buts will worth it. Refreshing to attend a business that promotes the use of cash

Went for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised with the food and service, which was very friendly. If you are after a traditional, quaint British cafe, then this is the place to go in and around Biddenden. I would happily go back here for food and drinks again. Highly recommended.

What a gem of a place 😁 if you pass and don't stop you will miss out. We were just on a mini break and happened to drop in and the staff, the food and the atmosphere were just lovely 😍 so jealous not to be local. Would be in as often as I could if I was.

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'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.

Absolutely banging place to get breakfast on the weekend! Me, my husband and my friends go here to grab breakfast while we're out on the bikes and always feel happy and safe parking up- with being able to keep an eye while we eat breakfast it relieves a lot of stress. Thanks for always doing a great 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.

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.

Met some friends for coffee and had lovely time in friendly atmosphere. The scone was very good and the shop was interesting with fresh produce. There is a car park so easy to park and a ramp up to shop so easy access for anyone disabled. They sell a good range of plants.

Friends had told us that they had a great breakfast at Silcocks Farm Shop and suggested we should pop in and give it a try. Firstly it is a beautiful place with plenty of character and is very nicely presented and maintained with a lovely atmosphere. The shop has plenty of great farm produce for sale at very reasonable prices, we only had a quick look around but what we did see was all high quality, maybe when we have more time we will pop in again and have a proper look. The breakfast was delicious and service was exceptional and the price was very reasonable. I can definitely recommend the full English breakfast! Overall 10 out of 10 and look forward to visiting again.

We used The Cosy Kettle to provide catering service for a funeral wake. Sadie and her team were fantastic. From the initial enquiry to the delivery of the food, Sadie was excellent. The food was outstanding. Sadie went out of her way to help and the choice of food available was great and tailored to our bespoke requirements. Many people commented how good it was and we were so impressed with everything. I can whole heartly recommend The Cosy Kettle if you want an excellent catering service.

We had a lovely afternoon tea today - very generous portions for the price and some really interesting, different options that you don't normally see on afternoon tea menus. The soup shot was a lovely touch and delicious, as was the rest of it. Service was also great with really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

This is by far my all time favorite coffee shop, there are a huge selection of choices that manage to cater for everyone and almost all the produce and products sold help support loads of local businesses! Nutmeg is a local haven, not many coffee shops give you the chance to drink coffee from beans roasted just a few miles away, not to mention that every coffee is also served with care and love from all the amazing staff

By far the best coffee😋. Delicious toasties and cakes too. Great cheeses and other deli items. Such a friendly little place, I have been going in for years now and have formed many new friends in there initially just sharing tables. Highly recommend!

Sarah and Mia (and all the other team members) are welcoming, hospitable, really lovely. The coffee is the best in the town, and probably the world. Grant, the proprietor and chief roaster is a lovely person with the calmness and spirit of one who knows. The goods on offer are often local, primarily independent and have good ethics at the core.

I’ve been going here for years. It’s the only place I go. It’s so much more than a place to have the best coffee in town, it’s also a community. They champion local produce, serve a small but high quality selection of sweet treats and savoury dishes, and always have a kind word and smile for each of their customers. Great work team Nutmeg and Coldblow Coffee 💙💙💙

Drab cold day lifted by this warm cosy coffee shop. Service with a smile, tasty food and nice coffee. They have a reputation for being cycling friendly and I found that to be true here, well worth the 65mile round trip. Quiet with it being a cold Monday so parked my bike out the front with no issues from the management, though I understand they have secure cycle parking in their rear garden. Definitely one to return to.

What a lovely coffee shop making the most of local suppliers. The coffee was super lovely. Nice place to meet with friends, easy parking in the hall car park. Serving staff are local and happy to chat. Lots of food is cooked on site. Deco very pleasing. Coffee and food were a good price too 😋 well worth a visit. 😀

Got introduced to the this place by someone I know. Small and compact cafe, very beautifully designed on the inside. Food was a bit slow to come out from ordering but I would say maybe the techniques used may play a part in it. The sandwiches were presented well and there was a good taste. Lots of flavours
