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.

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!

Busy when we called in. It seems to be a real community hub and, although we only had coffee (very good) the food we saw looked good too.

We stopped off in the lovely little Wye after a morning walking on the North down Way. We had afternoon Tea and coffee, with a wedge of chocolate Tiffin in the lovely little Wye coffeeshop & Kitchen which is nicely set on the corner with nearby free parking. We loved it and definitely recommend a visit. Ps The thunder ⚡ and hale stones where a little suprise after walking in sunshine most of the morning

Best cheese scone EVER!! No, really, it was awesome 😍 Good selection of food and drinks, both got and cold Funky decor with mismatched chairs, tables, benches and stools. Massive exposed beams that hint of the history of the building. So cool that dogs are welcomed, especially as people walk across the Downs with humans and dogs alike! Quite a serious member of staff, but attentive

We had our first ever Christmas Day lunch at a restaurant at the Vineyard today. We had a lovely time. Louise and her team were very welcoming, professional and really looked after us. The food was excellent as was the service. The ambience was also lovely. We would definitely go there again for Christmas Day lunch and would recommend it. Thank you the Vineyard for making our Christmas Day lunch special.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is excellent and the chef really knows his stuff. The menus change with the seasons. Tonight we had scallops with the silkiest buerre blanc sauce, the crab meat and smoked salmon, steak Diane (cooked perfectly, melt in the mouth), Vineyard Chicken and the roasted cauliflower. For desserts we had the raspberry burnt cream with chocolate eclair and caramelised banana, all really tasty and beautifully presented. I really like the addition of flowers. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I have been twice now and have had the best experience each time. The restaurant does both set menus and A La Carte. They have a lovely vegan offering too. Wines range in price from around £20 and the list is extensive and interesting. They also have a great range of cocktails and mocktails. If you haven’t tried this restaurant out yet, then I highly recommend you do.

Having lived in the surrounding villages for a long time, and now moved to West Malling, I've driven past this place countless times. I’m aware that the premises have gone through a few variations over the years. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I’d heard there were new owners who took over earlier this year. I was thinking it might have a pub/restaurant feel, but I was mistaken. This is not a pub at all, but a restaurant. Inside, it’s beautifully decorated. A lot of attention to detail and expense has clearly been put into the decoration, from the decor to the artwork. Chairs, tables—everything has been done to a high quality, giving it a sense of fine dining. This is enhanced by the exceptionally presented food and the excellent service provided by the staff. Moustapha, our main server, was excellent. The food was good and tasty and they have an excellently presented menu and wine list. The atmosphere was also wonderful, making it a great place for a date night. It stands out from other local places with its real restaurant feel.

Dropped in for breakfast, warm greeting and order taken promptly. Food was hot and well cooked. Reasonable prices and nice atmosphere and decor. Slight gripe, the knives reminded me of those from school and the handle dug into the palm of my hand whilst cutting, invest in some better quality knives and forks. Would absolutely visit again.

Service and atmosphere - outdoor seating - were fabulous. The sandwiches we enjoyed were tasty, very very tasty & substantial. What brands are the brown breads you use please ? Such a rich flavour and great bakes, we would love to buy these for home - but without all the trial, error & expense we would need to go through to match the ones you use!! Hubby loved his coffee and my glass of Malbec went down a treat lol Thank you and your cheery staff for our very enjoyable first late lunch with BAC !!

1st visit but won’t be the last. Clean with friendly staff & large menu. We had the Lighter breakfast which was just right size for those who aren’t a manual worker anymore 😅👍 & a great price too. A hidden gem although a lot of regulars have already found it.

This café is our go to Cafe in Ashford! It's the best in my opinion! It's always good food, the staff are always helpful, friendly and willing to meet any demands or expectations. Sometimes some of the crowds outside or people that come in can ruin the atmosphere but overall, I enjoy going to this well run and well priced cafe and see myself continuing to visit.

Cafe/restaurant and bar at Minus bay in Kent. It is also possible to stay there but I didn't so can't comment on that part. In the day The Waves bar is primarily a cafe serving breakfast until 3pm plus a good selection of rolls and sandwiches,jacket potatoes, hot dogs/burgers and a selection of main meals.i would say prices are moderate but I find the food to be good, the service is always friendly too! Your well behaved four legged friend is welcome as well. In the evening the venue becomes a tapas restaurant and they have occasional live music plus they have a quiz quite frequently. Their dessert menu is filled with classics like sticky toffee pudding, sorted dick and Bramley apple crumble as well a cheese board. They do sell alcohol including cocktails. On a nice day it's lovely to sit outside as it's right by the sea. There are customer toilets including one for disabled users plus a baby change. There is plenty of parking, a lot is free but there is also a pay for car park if the free spaces have all gone.

We've been a few times recently as we love cycling and walking along this stretch of coast even though it's a little further for us than our normal haunts! The food is excellent - the brie and bacon roll special even eclipsed the very good bacon and egg sarnie :o). The staff are exceptionally friendly and service is very quick and efficient. We love dogs and all of the resident and visiting pooches have been very well behaved on every visit. Our own dog also enjoys a visit as she usually gets a sausage or some bacon (or even an ice cream!) and also enjoys sampling from every water bowl! Definitely recommended for a rest and refuel before, during, or after a walk or bike ride along this glorious stretch of coast.

Popped in while working in the area. Cracking cafe with plenty of seating and a welcome and clean environment. Served efficiently by professional and courteous members of staff and very impressed with the Set 1 breakfast. All ingredients cooked to perfection, full of flavour and unlike other cafes I've frequented, didn't leave a pool of grease behind. Also well priced considering the quality and service received. I would most definitely return if I'm in these parts again and would recommend if asked.
