What an amazing gem of a place, set in a stunning place. The cafe is spotless clean, the staff where very welcoming & nice. We had drinks & cake ( our monthly treat ). The prices are very reasonable & the cakes were amazing. The hot food looked & smelt so good. Nice place to watch the small air crafts taking off & landing. Will definitely be back ASAP.

Great tea room. They are dog friendly and have oat milk etc. Vegan offering was on the smaller side, but they have only just opened and I think are building up. It's definitely worth a trip.

Lovely decor, atmosphere which are all aviation themed. Free WiFi on site and on a sunny day you can watch the planes take off and land in the air field outside. There is a field to do dog walking. Highly recommend the cappuccino and flat white. The former vibes with the distinctive plane logo imprint as seen on the photos. Coffee quality is far superior to that found in the chains.

Visited the cafe today for some lunch with my family. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the lovely girls behind the counter. The cafe was extremely busy and we were made aware there may be a wait for the food, which we were fine about. I feel this is a very well run establishment and well done to to the girls in there for managing the cafe, whilst being so busy - all with smiles on their faces. Food was amazing and fair priced with huge portions! Had my little girl with us and the waitress was very attentive! Will definitely recommend to my friends and family and will most definitely be returning when next in Ashford!

I’m so glad my office moved to Ashford and this is now my fave place for lunch. The food is well prepared and tasty - some of the portions are huge. I always have the eggs royale which are impeccably cooked and the smoked salmon is beautifully flavoured and lean. It also does its own freshly squeezed orange juice, which goes down a treat.

My Husband & I would like to thank Lou & Chris for making our wedding day amazing. We truly had a fun filled day, come rain or shine you pulled it off. Guests were looked after very well by all the staff, who worked very hard & made us very proud of all your effort, from the 1st bit of planning until the big day. Well done, it was absolutely fabulous! Mr & Mrs Dane.

We stayed here as a wedding party in June, booking all of the rooms out. Sam and all of the staff were fantastic from beginning to end, catering to all of our requests, including organizing a large brunch for our guests the morning after the wedding. They even tidied and decorated our room for us on our return - a touch that was extremely thoughtful and welcomed! Thank you!

Fabulous room, fabulous food, wonderful staff and lovely service. Oh, and the beers were good as well! Superb sirloin steak, brilliant vegetable tart, great veg, brilliant cooked breakfast and fine coffee. Thanks very much to Sam and her great team! We'll be back!!

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!

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.

Lovely cafe! We were on our way to Dover and wanted to find a spot that allowed dogs for lunch. We had a delicious panini and 2 cream teas. All the food was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend!

I was really impressed with our visit to the The Bow Window Cafe in Lenham. We popped in on a midweek lunch time, it was really busy and deservedly so. All the staff are really helpful and friendly, they try hard to accommodate everyone and their individual needs. The website says they are dog friendly and it's true, my dog even got a little treat. I thought the price was good value for the quantity of food that you got. The hot chocolate tasted really nice and chocolatey, they also made it with an alternative milk for me. My toasted sandwich was so delicious and filling, the brie was nice and gooey. I have to mention the toilets which were super clean despite the amount of people using them. I think I'd try and book when I go again, just to guarantee that I can eat there. It's situated right near Lenham Square car park but watch the 2 hour limit for parking.

The layout of the various little rooms and snugs - with cosy mismatched furniture - make this place incredibly cute and cosy in the heart of Lenham. The Americano was nice, and the hot chocolate clearly a big hit when pimped out with marshmallows. Staff were very friendly and it was a lovely place to pass an hour and warm up.

My friends and I went to the bow window cafe today. We all had milk hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows. Sandwiches, jacket potatoe and ham and cheese panini . Excellent quality food, very well presented. The desserts were really delicious. Chocolate brownies and Victoria sponge. Really friendly staff, covid safe and clean cafe.

If I could give this 6 Stars I would. First time here. Lady who served me was full of life and chatted and joked with everyone. Proper sized mugs of tea and coffee. I had a bacon baguette and they used Tiger bread which made it even more delicious. Others were having the full English and they also looked very good. Toilet and facilities were in immaculate condition. Slight downside was they only took cash. However, if ever I'm in the area again, it would be my first choice.

I love the food here , a good proper breakfast!! A good selection of food to choose from and the bread And butter is proper bread and butter ! I'm talking fresh bread 🍞 My only dislike is the noise levels ,not their fault at all. But when there's a lot of people in the cafe it's extremely loud, but you can eat outside if it's a nice day. The prices are reasonable but it's cash only. Parking is limited but you can park along the road and walk up. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

A perfect gem 10 mins from the Le Shuttle exit, a great stop for breakfast for heading on our journey. Well priced and not a spare table showing its popularity. Do not take card so make sure you have some cash.

Best fry up in Kent! We only ever come here for breakfast, so we haven't tried their lunch items. However, their breakfast is incredible. They have a few different fry up options for you to choose from, I always get a set 1, and I change the option for chips or bubble to hash browns. The set 1 and other options comes with crusty bread or toast and a tea, coffee or cold drink. It is cash only, but there is a BP around the corner with a cash point. However it does have a £2.50 charge.

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'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.
