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!

Mentalbano is an authemtic Italian restaurant, clean, tidy, and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable, to say the least. They greeted us at the front door and took our coats, and presented us with our table. Good atmosphere, tasty food, and well lit. This is the second time I have visited this place, and it hasn't disappeared me. It got better. 😀👍

What a beautiful place this is. Can be quite busy but staff and kitchen handled it like a pro. We were graciously welcomed and staff was super friendly and attentive to all. As they had a lot of customers on the night, they never lost their cool and made the experience extremely pleasant. The liver was a bit under cooked so ended up with pink, bloody mash BUT was still tasty. Aranchini was cooked brilliantly but the sauce was too tomatoey for me as it over powered the taste of the aranchini. The olives & bread is sooooo good. The Black Shadow cocktail was so tasty and tiramisu also delicious. Nothing like a little Grappa to end the evening off. Overall an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

Chris came out at very short notice to fix a problem with fuse tripping. Problem was with a pond pump. Came back a few days later and fitted a new socket and a new pump at a very reasonable price. He is a courteous and friendly young man and I would thoroughly recommend him. Marian Hilton

Fab service! We needed to reduce lighting costs in our shop with most lighting being fluorescent. Chris replaced a 5’ fluorescent emergency light with a new LED unit & converted 12 T8 600x600 fluorescent grid fittings to LED tubes.On another visit he repositioned & converted another 4 T8 600x600 grid fittings to LED. He is also returning in the next few weeks to reposition & convert 4 more fittings in our stockroom & add a PIR to the circuit. Overall saving should be in the region of 60% on running costs on these fittings alone. Highly Recommended

We contacted Richard firstly to complete a electrical survey on the house we were purchasing and then again to carry out the works which included a full rewire, installation of a new fire alarm system, removal of old/obsolete wiring, alarm systems and more. Can't recommend him highly enough, he had a team working on the weekend to help get us into our new home faster. We expected to have to do a lot of clean up once they had finished so we're pleasantly surprised to find they had cleaned up and left virtually no remedial works for us to do. He was in constant contact throughout. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Cannot thank Richard and his team enough. Always there for you. They have just done a whole rewire on our property. They have completed the work professionally and cleaned up after themselves. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Richard attended very promptly to resolve an "emergency" issue where my RCD kept switching everything off. Subsequently he came back and tidied up my garden electrics which were the root cause of the problem as well as changing my outside lighting. Prompt and efficient and pleased with the result.

Contacted Richard to install electrical supply 240v and 110v) in my wood shop. He really knows his trade and did such a great job I used him for two further major electrical installs. Thoughtful, interactive and top quality in all he does. Can’t recommend him too highly.

Outstanding Service from Eveco innovations Ltd I recently had the pleasure of hiring Eveco innovations Ltd to wire in an extention, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service. Here are some highlights of my experience: • Prompt Response: When I reached out for a quote, Matt responded promptly. He scheduled a site visit to assess the project requirements and provided a detailed estimate. • Skilled Technicians: The electricians who worked on my project were highly skilled. They tackled the job efficiently, ensuring safety and compliance with all regulations. • Attention to Detail: Eveco innovations Ltd paid attention to every detail. They meticulously installed new fixtures, wiring, and outlets, leaving no loose ends. • Transparent Communication: Throughout the process, Matt kept me informed. He explained the steps involved, potential challenges, and any necessary adjustments. • Timely Completion: The project was completed within the promised timeframe. Eveco innovations Ltd didn’t compromise on quality despite working efficiently. • Fair Pricing: I found their pricing competitive and fair. They provided value for money without compromising on quality. Overall, I highly recommend Eveco innovations Ltd for any electrical needs. Their commitment to excellence, skilled team, and transparent communication set them apart. I’ll definitely be using their services again! Thank you, Eveco innovations Ltd, for a job well done!

Lovely owner run and managed cafe. Booked for brunch on a wet Easter Monday. Glad we reserved as it’s a small place and we were a big party. Lovely menu for big and little kids alike. We were greeted with a lovely smile and seated quickly. Orders were taken quickly. Drinks came quickly. Food was a little slower as it’s freshly made but well worth the wait. Cooked Breakfast and pancakes are highly recommended. Coffee and tea is excellent. Juice is standard carton stuff but pleasant enough. The owner Chloe and her team are lovely and welcoming and clearly very accommodating for small, large and single guests plus dogs. It’s also a very inclusive cafe which accommodates people with disabilities. Lovely find and highly recommended for all. A local gem.

Very responsive and great service. Electricare came to fix a burned out underfloor heating system installed by another company. They diagnosed the problems and fixed it the same day. Also installed two outside lights for us during the same visit. We would definitely use them again.

We asked Electricare to install a EV charger in a new build property. Other companies had provided solutions which were expensive or unacceptable in terms of cable routing etc. Electricare did an absolutely amazing job of routing and hiding the cabling and were professional, courteous and responsive. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Outstanding service from start to finish.

Paul and his colleague re-routed the house electric supply to make better use of an external 3 phase smart meter and avoid needing to use two old internal meters which also enabled an overhead supply cable to be removed. Paul had two visits pre work to plan and prepare. All work done professionally and to a high standard over 3 days. He offered to speak to Power Networks and EDF to help me deal with their questions. Hard working, tidy and open communication at all times. I would use them again and I would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent electricians who work to a high standard.

I have employed the services of Electricare for some years now: for general household needs. This included, supplying and fitting an electric car charge point, fitting electric exterior plug in points plus fairy lights and a hanging lamp for a newly installed Gazebo. All the varying jobs have been carried out very efficiently, without fuss, by well presented men always arriving on agreed time. I know the job will be carried out 100% correctly. I can thoroughly recommend this company with confidence. A certificate always follow on completion of job.

I was another one of those who couldn't quite believe this place could live up to all the exceptional reviews, and yet it exceeded our expectations. Nothing quite compares to Beacon Hall House, it is by far the best B&B and one of the best accommodations I ever stayed in. We were there for the Easter break and every day we would wake up to the most luxurious breakfasts, including fresh fruit, jams, marmalade, bread, home-made cakes and muffins, local cheese and if that isn't enough for you, Julie will whip up delicious cooked breakfasts. My partner and I are both vegetarians and Julie made us the tastiest brekkies with fresh veggies straight from her garden. Our room was so peaceful, overlooking the luscious greenery and we really appreciated the little touches like fresh flowers, high quality bedding, White Company towels and home made biscuits on arrival. Whether you just want to relax or if you want to be more active, Beacon Hall House is the perfect place - there are tons of footpaths basically on your doorstep, gardens, castles, amazing country pubs and wineries nearby. We were also able to play some tennis, as there's a tennis court on the property and you'll be provided with tennis rackets which was super fun. Thanks Julie for spoiling us and for all the care you put in welcoming your guests - we hope we'll be back!

We stayed for three nights, having dinner cooked by Julie on one of them. This is one of the very best B&Bs we have ever visited, out of many all over the country. (actually I think it definitely IS the best!) Comfortable, quiet, relaxing; excellent breakfasts with delicious home made bread; the dinner was perfect and we were allowed to bring our own bottle. The house has an interesting history and is set in glorious wooded country with walks all around, a choice of nice pubs and although being mid November a lot of things were closed there were still plenty of places to visit. Our room (Hebe) was large and well lit; fresh flowers, a comfortable bed and a huge ensuite with everything you need. Julie herself is a natural: sweet and generous to the core. We were genuinely sad to leave, which says it all.

We had a wonderful stay. Julie and Jonathan are incredibly accommodating and their home is stunning. It felt more like we were staying with friends than in a B&B. Breakfast was delicious, Julie is a great cook and nothing we requested was too much for her. The rooms and house are exactly as pictured. We will most certainly stay here again.

Julie and Jonathan have a lovely home (and garden) and it was a genuine pleasure to stay there. Their sense of hospitality and kindness was amazing and touching at times, and it made our stay a lovely experience. Julie is a clearly a great cook and takes pride in the food she serves up. We stayed for one dinner, which was delicious. Amazing restaurant options are also only 10 mins drive away. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a B&B (or hotel for that matter). One of the easiest recommendations I could make.
