Lovely small cafe, open into the evening. Some lovely oriental food. The cheese and mushroom pancake omelette was so good. Fresh ginger tea great on a cool evening. Owners so friendly. Definitely going back when in Sandwich.

Came here when they soft launched and then came back last week and the improvement is vast. The food is absolutely delicious, the teas are great and the staff there are the biggest selling point, I’ve genuinely never eaten anywhere with such a happy, warm, welcoming team waiting to serve you. It’s a little off the high street but highly recommend it if you’re here for a day out

Stopped in here yesterday morning for a full English breakfast. Best I've ever had 👍👍 The atmosphere and certainly the very warm welcome, was the nicest I've experienced in a long time.

A little gem in Sandwich serving good Hong Kong style light menu, a twist from the ordinary Chinese takeaway. Cosy space with some outdoor seating. The young owners are friendly and attentive with their service.

Amazing food with a fantastic service and atmosphere. More than just a diner with a pool table and darts board. Will definitely be returning!

There was a party of 7 and had a mixture of breakfasts and pancakes. The diner is lovely, very clean and attractively decorated. The staff once again were friendly and up for a banter but professional too. The food is always great quality, expertly cooked and well presented. Whether you drive a truck or come with friends and family the quality and service is the same. I'm so pleased to have the Roadhouse diner open here for snacks, breakfasts or just a coffee. My brother often uses the diner now with such easy parking for his work lorry.

Road House Diner is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a satisfying dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a delightful meal. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home from start to finish. The highlight, of course, is the food. My steak was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, just the way I like it. The accompanying fries, mushrooms, and coleslaw were just as impressive, each contributing their own delightful taste and texture to the meal. Overall, Road House Diner provides a dining experience that's hard to beat, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Easily the best bag of chips I've eaten anywhere recently. Perfection. Babylon potatoes from a local Kent farm apparently. Beautifully cooked, floury, fantastic. As I told the guys behind the counter, well worth the £ 27 rail fare that took us down to that part of the Kent coast from London.

Large haddock and chips for £11.50 is a bargain, everything was beautifully cooked to perfection. My only issue was the waiting time in the restaurant area which could do with a spruce up, as it looks like it's stuck in the 70s regardless everything was clean and tidy. We waited a while for our food as takeaway customers were served first despite coming in after. Overall I couldn't fault the food and this could be one of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

I recently moved to Sandwich and discovered Ossies, hands down the best haddock and chips in the area for miles. The owner is always friendly and mentioned that the fish is sourced fresh, which certainly tastes like it. The fish is always cooked to perfection, and the chips are not the typical pale ones you get from other places. I try to visit each Friday whenever possible.

Yummy! The haddock fish I had was from Ramsgate this morning. No wonder Ossies's fish and chips were fresh. If you're in Sandwich, you have got to try the authentic Fish and Chip British food at Ossies

What a find! Incredible value. Some of the largest salads and toasted sandwiches ever seen on planet earth. We had no idea helpings would be this large and had to ask to take half of our "lunch" home for dinner. Amazing tasting bread and butter, divine cheeses. Everything was seriously good. Do yourself a favour, especially if you're hungry, and visit the No Name Shop right in the middle of Sandwich. Highly, highly recommend. 🥪🧀☕

Being in Sandwich, we wanted to eat a vegan sandwich, but most places couldn't help! We found this lovely place that was more than happy help and had a vegan mozzarella and pesto baguette (yes, I know it's not a sandwich). They also had a beetroot, hummus, and falafel baguette. We also came away with a raspberry frangipane slice and sweat potato and onion pie for our dinner later! They also had at least two other vegan cake/slices! Very good quality.

Great selection of quality deli and bakery foods. We love to come down for a freshly made pastry and coffee - I can recommend the vegan raspberry croissant! Cheese and bread are also excellent.

Popped over to drop the bike into a service into Locks for a service and stumbled across this establishment after refusing to go into Costa. Fantastic Tuna and Onion toasted baguette with a Mocha. Love the decor, the Burlington toilet is a modern take on an original design and love the character. Very comfortable and a great place to let the world go by and people watch.

This quintessential little place is a must on a journey into Sandwich. A busy hub selling fresh grounded coffee, which is their own brand, I may add, to small bites and a food menu that really tackles your taste buds. With staff that welcome you with a smile, what isn't there to like about this amazing business? Located opposite the Guildhall, you can literally get off a bus and walk straight in. Failing that, it's a short 5-10 minute walk from Sandwich train station.

Lovely use of the 1920s old coach waiting room in the centre of Sandwich. Clever use of glass doors all around make the place feel a lot bigger than it is. Friendly guys behind the bar with a couple of beers on tap, good cocktail menu, and lots of sweet treats to dive into as well.

Stumbled across this late one night when staying in Sandwich and decided to try it out for breakfast the next morning. Had coffee and bacon/sausage baguettes. All really tasty. Very friendly staff. Great use of the old bus waiting time. Really nicely decorated. Went back couple of days later for more coffees and ginger Cake, again all really good 😋

Delicious 3 course meal. Excellent vegetarian options. Fabulous food. One tiny down side was that service was a little slow, we weren't asked if we'd like drinks for almost ten minutes, but once ordered the food and drink arrived promptly. Luckily we had plenty to chat about so it didn't ruin our evening and the food was definitely worth the wait.

Always have such an amazing time - the food, drinks and service are all great. Beautifully decorated and perfect for any occasion. The court yard is spacious and private and a real sun trap! Been a couple of times recently and both visits have been excellent. Would highly recommend and is a real Spanish gem in the heart of Sandwich!

Absolutely fantastic meal last Friday.The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for the Chefs. We all enjoyed 3 courses. Starters: Tempura chicken, Calamari and a Scallop & King prawn dish. For main: Cod for one, Rib eye steak for other 3 of us (all cooked to perfection) with chips and accompaniments. For dessert: Brownie for 2, Peanut butter ice cream and lastly a Profiteroles. A sublime meal, would highly recommend!! Compliments to the Chefs again!!

I came here to celebrate my partners birthday after many recommendations and promises of excellent food from friends and locals alike. I phoned in advance and, speaking to the chef, arranged for my partner to have roast partridge, a favourite of hers, which was served with seasonal vegetables and a red berry jus. The food was truly exceptional, beyond all my expectations, safe to say she was impressed too! All in all I found the place a lovely, welcoming venue, with amazing food and great drinks, I myself enjoying a pristine pale ale before moving onto the bubbly! I would definitely recommend and will be back again. Attached is a picture of my partners meal, it would of been a crime not to share it.
