Little Rock Folkestone

Beachside The Harbour The Harbour Arm, Folkestone CT20 1QN, UK

There are quite a few seafood restaurants in Folkestone and I wasn’t sure which one I should go for, but I’m glad I chose Little Rock! The restaurant is built in a container right on the beach, next to the old station. Not only the vibe is great, but also a lovely ocean view. What can you wish for more? The food! 💕 We LOVED the freshly caught seafood here. Appetisers are particularly great, my favourites are Crabs and scallops. We live in London and it's almost impossible to have fresh and decent-sized scallops no matter how much you pay for them. We also had the catch of the day for the main, pan-fried Plaice and skate. It was brilliant too. People there were also friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely we will come back again!

Bottomless brunch was delicious - excellent customer service! We’ve been for this brunch before and the quality and service has somehow improved despite being great previously! The food choice is great, something for everyone. The food is cooked to perfection, drinks are just right and replenished quickly when you’ve finished one off, another is being offered. Will definitely visit again for brunch in the future.

What an amazing find by the sea! Great atmosphere to begin with. The menu is so well organised you have great choice of food and drinks. Our little girl loved Cod cheeks and chips! Crab with brown crab mayo is AMAZING. What a little star Polly is !!! We watched her work and were amazed by her. Thank you all!

Very tasty food and a comfortable eating environment, conveniently located right on the beachside; the seafood is fresh and expertly prepared to preserve its original flavor.

This was a bit of a mixed bag. I found the service a little stand off-ish. My crab had a hair in it, my mussels were delicious, the kids meals were not really a hit. But the aesthetic of the place is to die for! It looks amazing, I would definitely go back as they dealt with the issues we had with the meals quickly. I'd like to think we just caught them on an off day maybe with the service.

Popped in very early so was empty, had a decent cappuccino and plumped for the Eggs Benedict, was not disappointed. Good portion size and tasted fantastic. Recommended. Good value for breakfast don't forget they accept cards but prefer cash if possible.

Nice clean cafe, polite staff. They’re very generous with the cheese on the jacket potatoes which I loved and a really decent tasting and styled salad. A little pricey for a jacket though to be honest.

Lovely, friendly service! Perfect location with a good menu selection. Menu items were a little pricier but you are paying for the convenience of location and great service. The hot chocolates and lattes looked amazing! I opted for a mocha, but wish I had chosen one of those as they were cheaper and looked delicious!

Could well be my new favourite breakfast spot, in Folkestone. Friendly, efficient staff, clean and tidy restaurant with attractive decor and chilled atmosphere. Food is of high quality, served quickly, piping hot and delicious. I felt that the food and drinks were fairly priced. Couldn't fault my visit.

Fantastic English breakfast & latte, parking was free for up to 2 hours directly outside (if you manage to get a space), plus prices seem reasonable too. It was the perfect stop off for 4 cold bikers on a December bike ride. We will be back (when it gets a bit warmer 🥶)

Nice little cafe offering an assortment of food and hot/cold drinks too. The price is about average and the food was hot and didn’t take to long to be served once ordered. Yes it’s wheelchair accessible but the parking is hit and miss as it’s on the corner of a main road and side street. The staff were welcoming which is a bonus but it’s only downside I’d say it’s quite small inside.

Great vibe from the decor and layout throughout into the beer garden - a feeling of quality and attention to detail. I appreciated the range of drinks - local beers and ciders sourced locally + wide selection of wines. I initially called in for a drink in the evening, and decided to stay for dinner ordering the ribeye steak, which was tasty. I returned the next morning to sample the brunch, choosing the smashed avocado with smoky bacon on sourdough, and a cappuccino. I found the service relaxed and welcoming from bar staff and table servers, who were also very attentive.

One of the best restaurants I ever had in the uk. The chef team have extreme well control on fire power. Excellent seasoning. And cozy vibe. Dog friendly. I am a chef as well, so it is a honest and genuine review.

I was staying in a nearby hotel and I popped in for a couple of pints. This place has a nice beer garden and I like the copper pumps behind the bar. The barman was friendly and I managed to try a couple of pints of Duddas Tun cider. Which I'd not seen before. I would recommend the Elderflower one. If you should ever happen to see this Paul, great recommendation.

UNBELIEVABLE. We visited this evening for dinner and I couldn't hold back on leaving a review! Neil and the team in the kitchen satisfied taste buds that I didn't know existed - we tried multiple dishes and were not disappointed by a single bite. We ventured out of our usual comfort foods (bar my steak) and have left wanting more. We are definitely going to returning as soon as possible to try and complete the menu!

We originally chose this pub, because we were looking for a dog friendly eaterie in the centre of Folkestone. We were pleasantly surprised by the stylish interior, with lots of gleaming copper, and the menu choices, which combine old favourites with unusual, like curried cauliflower tacos. The service was friendly and efficient. It all made for a very enjoyable lunch.

Came for a celebration meal with family. Managed to get a seat outside without reserving, but looks like it gets pretty busy so probably best to book ahead. Had the platter for 2/3 people to share with two cold meze to start. The stuffed vine leaves were very good! The star of the show was the meats, all of which were full of flavour and juicy! There was a lot of rice and bulgur to go with it so definitely a good portion for 3 people. To finish I had a Turkish coffee which came with a piece of Turkish delight. I'd not had a Turkish coffee before, but I was very pleasantly surprised as it had a similar taste to chocolate. Staff were great and the price was fairly reasonable for the portion size you get!

Lovely meal for 2 with mixed grill, chicken shish, beers and lots of freebie extras like bread and baklava for around £60: staff were great too.

Went there last week and had a great experience. They serve excellent Turkish dishes- the kebabs and platters were generous in portion and tastes great. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I noticed afterwards that they didn’t include a service fee in the bill which I only realized when I got home. Could leave a tip for the great service. Despite this, I recommend this place for their food and service

Woooow! Don’t think about it just book it. It’s was amazing. The staff could not do enough for you. The food portions were huge, and tasted AMAZING! Finished off by complementary lolly pops for the kids and baklava and Turkish tea for us! We will be returning more than once. Thank you a great experience.

Nice place overall. Birria sauce was very lacking. High prices but tacos in particular didn't really justify their price. Decent enough to stop in too. Given 4 stars as a few tweaks would make a big difference.

A very tasty brunch, fresh with quality ingredients, not greasy at all. I had a vegan and my partner a full English brunch. We both left happy and very full, with a piece of cake and a sourdough bread to go 😊 The staff is very friendly too. It's not the first and definitely not the last time we will visit!

I've never been able to get into the Gourmet Kitchen when I have visited. Folkstone, what just happened that it was quiet when we walked past today. The 4.7 rating on Google is very, very well deserved! Service is excellent, The atmosphere very convivial and the food is amazing. I have a soft spot anything with pastrami and gherkins and I was not disappointed with the lovely toasted sandwiches we ordered. The bagel avocado, mozzarella and roasted tomato bagel was epic 🙂. We will be back!

Excellent full English, happy to accommodate one change and what a delight to find a chef who knows how to cook tomatoes and add herbs to enhance. This is a rarity! The quality of ingredients was excellent, bacon nice and crisp as requested, delicious sausage. Friendly and warm service, clearly a popular place with some tables reserved. I asked for both my drinks (chai and flat white) to be extra hot. They were reasonably hot but not extra hot. I always ask everywhere I go because I can't bare tepid drinks! Highly recommended! Thank you 😊

I am a first time buyer and had a survey done on the house I am hoping to buy which required me to get someone to look at the electrics. Lewis at Coopson Technologies could not have been more friendly and helpful. I was booked in within the week to have an electrical EICR report. I was talked through everything on the report. Everything was explained and nothing was too much trouble. As a first time buyer I was nervous and asked a lot of questions! I am really happy I booked this company and when I get the house (fingers crossed) I will be booking Lewis for the jobs listed, thanks again. A happy customer!

Outstanding service! Its alway tricky to find a professional and reliable contractor. We were very fortunate to discover coopson technologies. We required a full 'Electrical Installation Condition Report' for a property purchase and chose coopson, after speaking with 3 contractors in the area, as we were so impressed with how helpful Lewis was when speaking on the phone. He was able to accommodate the day we needed and his communication was excellent throughout. The test was carried out and the report followed promptly. I asked to speak with Lewis over the phone to go over a couple of highlighted areas and, again, he was very helpful. A couple of minor issues required further works which he was happy to discuss and book in at a time that suited us after completion of the purchase. 5* service and will definitely be using Coopson for future works! Thanks

Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.

Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.
