Really enjoyed our breakfast here yesterday, they catered very well for my so son’s gluten intolerance. Most of the breakfast items are gluten free but they also have gluten free toast and he had that with smoked salmon. Veggies breakfast was great and the peach iced tea is great. Would definitely recommend and return. I did get busy which slowed down the service a bit but we weren’t in a rush and it was nice to take our time.

Warm welcome, great food, good service. Delicious Breakfast (Twenty Four) and Breakfast bagel. Mushroom, hash browns and bacon - devine. Beans okay, eggs perfectly cooked but golden yolk eggs would level this breakfast up as would a better sausage (i.e. from a butcher). Also butter wasn't room temperature so couldn't easily spread on the toast however was a lovely breakfast and absolutely can't complain! Recommend!

1st class breakfast complete with poached eggs that’d make Marco Pierre White shed tears of joy. Great atmosphere, friendly staff offering faultless service, can’t do enough for you. Hidden gem, highly recommended.

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!

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!

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.

Nice place for a walk or for water sports. It is more developed than we expected, with play areas and adventure parks, boat hire and group activities. The cafe provides meals as well as tea coffee and cakes, plus it is licensed to sell alcohol. Seating inside and out with good views. Buying a parking ticket (£5.30 for the day) includes access to the general areas. Activities are extra of course. Payment by App only on Ringo, so make sure you have App loaded before arriving to save your data allowance. We walked along the water side. Paths were just gravelled, and ordinary shoes would be ok, but walking boots would be best. Good number of benches along the first couple of miles, can't comment on the rest of the 12 mile path round the reservoir. The path was mainly through wooded areas, so nicely shaded for hot sunny days. We were pleasantly surprised how nice it was. 😎👍👍👍👍

Lovely place to come with the family for a day out, plenty to do with cafe/toilets and everything you need near by. Parking is charged at £7 for the day with plenty of spaces. You are able to swim in the waters but just beware of all the stones as it can be quite hard/uncomfortable to walk on.

We took our 8 year old daughter for the Santa experience, end of November and this started Christmas for us. There were lots of fun activities from gingerbread icing and decorating tree decorations to making reindeer food and sending a postcard to Santa. Meeting the big guy was the highlight. Santa spent time talking to my daughter about her hobbies and interests, she was amazed how much he knew! A magical afternoon out, definitely recommend it!

Large beautiful reservoir and incredible landscape, it's one of our go-to place for outdoor fun. Roughly 6 miles to walk around the whole lake through the scenic flat pathway, although the road can be very muddy in wet days. The bewl water cafe makes incredible deluxe hot chocolate which my kids love the most. It's dog friendly and cycling friendly.

A must visit if you are near Royal Tunbridge Wells. Boating , fishing, surfing, swimming and hiking you name it there is something for everyone. I have noticed a designated camp site as well. There is a cafe with a lake view although it was closed when we went. Parking is 7.30 for the whole day. You can hire fishing boats and kayaks. Kayaks are £30 for 2 hours and it holds 3 people. I recommend taking some snacks and drinks with you just in case the cafe is closed.

Lovely friendly little place. We ordered 2 Panini and teas. The staff are so friendly and polite. And the panini's came with a nice little side salad with coleslaw and a generous serving of chips which were cooked lovely. Would definitely make a return visit. They also fell in love with my gonk which my partner had brought for me at a local charity Christmas fair. Gerome the gnome was a bit of a star. X

Best cooked breakfast I’ve had for a long time. Bit disappointed that fried bread wasn’t listed on the menu only to find that the eggs are served on perfectly cooked fried bread ! Would prefer streaky bacon given a choice but that’s just me ! Cash only but there’s an ATM just up the road

Wow, what an awesome cafe! I work just round the corner at the university and have been meaning to try this place for a while. I was not disappointed! The decor and vibe of the place is very welcoming, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the set 2, which was great value for about 8 quid considering it includes tea and toast/bread. Every part of the meal was cooked perfectly and the ingredients are good quality. Sausage was nice and herby too which is just how they should be. Will definitely come again more regularly to support such a well-run establishment with superb food and value.

1st time I checked this place out to have a hot drink & something to eat. I had the best cappuccino I have ever had & 2 incredible delicious cake slices. The customer service was just brilliant after doing 6 miles by the sea I was very weary so I appreciate the kindness & warm atmosphere this lovely place ozzies.

Nestled right before you reach the Roman Towers is this neat little coffee shop. It's very inviting and the staff are all chill. It was a nice place to stop and I wish I bought a souvenir mug.

Amazing place, they had few activities for children, like art and craft, pottery and a workshop to know more about the animals that you can find on the beach (and handling a jellyfish!). My daughter was so happy! Staff are very friendly, place is clean, there is a huge playground near by and plenty of space for dogs to run. I fell in love with that place. And on the other side of the road there is a pub with amazing food, perfect to have lunch with kids.

.A very nice cafe, close to the beach at Reculver. .Toilet facilities for everyone for free. .Parking. There are plenty of parking spaces but very pricey, I paid £13,00 for five hours. .The ancient Reculver landmark not far from the carpark. .The restaurant has lots of hot and cold drinks, ice cream and cold drinks and ice cream for dogs and is dog friendly even in the sitting dining area. .Lots of seating on benches outside, although I think there is a need for a few more .If you like crepe's,(pancakes)then try one as they are delicious, with various fillings, vegan, and vegetarian available options, too. .A very good place to start a walk along the Saxon way which I really enjoyed and is very well looked after, and return for reviver of tea, coffee and a hot chocolate, which was really good and a cake of course! It's a really great play area for kids to go on and have a picnic close by, too. .Overall its a great improvement since my last visit some time ago.

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble on this excellent vegan restaurant. The staff was friendly and described what was available to me. The mushroom Wellington was excellent, and the roast vegetables were nicely accompanied by a mildly spicy sauce. So it is a five-star from me - which I give out rarely

Came for some lunch with a friend and had a really nice time! The interior is nicely spaced out and designed with pretty cool colour combinations. I love that there are couches towards the back, very cosy. I ordered the hot pot, (which changes daily) and was lucky to have this amazing Sri Lankan curry! It came with rice too and some delicious veggies on the sides. To drink I had this smoothie mixed with beetroot, bananas and some other ingredients. It was pretty good! I definitely will be back.

Love this place. I’ve been vegan for 3 years and counting and it makes me so happy when I see a place that really does vegetables justice and serves food that makes you feel so refreshed and healthy. Definitely give this a go- I had the mushroom wellington and it was incredible! Staff were very nice as well. They also do homemade kombucha but it was sold out- will be back to try!

Great place for breakfast. The meaty is delicious and a big portion. Very fresh and so tasty!! The coffee is also great. Friendly and welcoming staff. The perfect place to bring a dog or sit and relax with a book. The downstairs is abit more crowded now that you can’t use upstairs but there is a nice sofa by the window.

This place is 10/10. Service = phenomenal. Super affordable and actually quite cheap for what you’re paying for. Atmosphere is homely with a separated area for working so that part of downstairs is more social. Great decor, great playlist. We both ordered the kimchi hash special. The really did the Korean influence justice (saying this as an East Asian person who has eaten too many minimal effort whitewashed token use of Asian ingredients in restaurants). Straight up delicious. They also take payment on order so it’s great if you need to rush off after. Breakfast and drink totalled to around £9 per person including an extra sausage added on for each of us

Fabulous brunch, as ever, from the friendly, helpful, attentive team at Cliffs. We love this place, with its relaxed, retro-vinyl vibe. No better place to relax and re-fuel, with the excellent choice of inventive breakfast and brunch dishes, and great coffee. The tamari mushrooms are to die for, and the veggie breakfast, just superb. The chill-out tables upstairs are ideal for friends and family get-togethers, the play area for toddlers is the ‘icing on the cake’. We’ll be back!

I went with a friend to the Grinch Afternoon tea. I've been to several of the afternoon teas.. not reviewed till now. I've made a point of doing it today as it was once again a 'can't stop smiling' experience. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The menu is lovely and so creative. It's the attention to detail that I always love so much. Even down to things like the 'ice' shard and the little tart with the lane grinch logo on. Each afternoon tea is obviously well planned out and any dietary adjustments are made so they still fit the theme. You get so much for your money and I love that you can box up and take home the rest. The drinks are also never ending, very generous and you are never rushed even when you can tell they are getting ready for another sitting. (Happened on another occasion- a friend and I had chatted for so long we were the only ones left. The staff were still really friendly and chatty, answering random questions I had.) There is beautiful decorations everywhere which are hand painted and details galore. A really nice touch was a candy cane on the grinch plate and there is always a puzzle on every table. To the team, keep doing what you're doing, you're bringing a lot of joy, cleshay yes but true, its very much appreciated. To anyone else, pick a theme you like and get booked in.

Popped in for lunch. Found the staff friendly and welcoming. I ordered a jacket potato with Chili con carne and a large flat white coffee. The chili was clearly home made and was tasty, the potato also came with a side salad with a tasty dressing. I dined inside and enjoyed the 1940's style music gently playing in the background. There is a small,covered courtyard or an outside area so plenty of choices of where to sit. They have a really nice selection of homemade cakes,I had a slice of spiced apple cake which was very tasty indeed. In terms of prices this cafe is a little cheaper than some of the others along Hythe High street. I would revisit this cafe, I saw other food coming out,it all looked well presented.

There are lots of places to eat along Hythe High Street, and this one was the busiest. That alone tells you something. A big array of freshly baked cakes and goodies and an extensive menu to choose from. I had a bacon bap today, and there sure was plenty of good bacon in there. A pot of tea for one gets you two large cups, so great value there. I had a coffee last time and that was very good. As was the homemade scone! Lots of seating, indoors and out (some of the outside under shelter), lovely staff and excellent service. Highly recommended.
