I cannot recommend Mark at White Spark highly enough, we were in the process of ripping out our kitchen & Mark hit the ground running, understanding the brief & what we wanted to achieve. Nothing was too much trouble & any extras we needed weren’t an issue. Due to a part of the kitchen being delivered late he had to make extra visits & again always arrived with a smile & got to work. If you are planning to use a reliable local electrician I would strongly advise you to get Mark to quote you, you won’t be disappointed.

Great service from Mark at White Spark. We were STRESSED when hubby drilled through an electric cable on Friday night, but Mark came through at 7pm and managed to get our lights back on! Very happy with his service and with the reasonable price! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend :)

After quoting up for a new fuse box and a couple of smaller jobs, Mark arrived on time and completed everything and a few tripping issues on the way. I was interested in what he was doing and he explained along the way. Mark was very professional, completed the work within the time frames set and tidied up after. Not only do we have a safe fuse box, but a working light and socket! Highly recommend, so much so he's going to be doing some work for my dad. Thank you

Just had Mark finish a small job for me. Fit me in at short notice so I could have it done before the holidays. Very happy with how the job turned out and a friendly service while it was carried out. Will use him again in the future and highly recommend others to give him a call.

Fantastic service and price. Alistair is a punctual, reliable specialist and helped solve a tricky problem in my house, also I asked him to fit a new consumer unit. I would have no hesitation recommending Alistair for any electrical work and will definitely ask him for any future work I require. Thanks again for your excellent help.

Alistair was quick to provide me with a quote for an electrical inspection for communal fuse box in our small block of flats. I sent him a photo of our existing fuse box & he could immediately see that it no longer met the current regulations. He then quickly gave me a quote for the price of a new fuse box & the fitting. I booked him in to do the work & he arrived on time with all the necessary parts. He did a great job & was very polite. I will be recommending him to all my friends

I would definitely recommend a visit to Fields Cafe in Birchington. The food and especially the wonderful and really special cakes made by the owner of the Cafe,Jamie are a real treat. The service and atmosphere is just great and it’s very relaxing and enjoyable being there. Today i tried his banana and pineapple cake with pistachio nuts on top!! Absolutely delicious. Large slice too!!

Calm cafe atmosphere, festive for the holiday (Easter) great selection of cakes, friendly staff, free WiFi, decent coffee with a nice selection of syrups. I love this local cafe (I'm assuming it's a family run business), I'd definitely visit again. Only thing I can think of for constructive criticism, is that there was a few grains of ground coffee at the bottom of my latte, but that's me looking for things to improve on as I know it can happen. 10/10 visit 👏

One of the best tradesmen I've ever had work for me, reliable and well priced I usually find other tradesmen are usually difficult to get ahold of, or won't show up when they say, or charge ridiculous prices. I've never had this problem with Trevor We've used him for big and small jobs, and he's always great at what he does.

Trevor is fantastic and has helped us ensure smooth running of our busy restaurant operation. We have had a few electrical situations where we have needed his advice and urgent call outs and he has been a pleasure to work with. Thank you Trevor! Matt Sworder www.cornerhouserestaurants.co.uk

We have had solar panels for over 12 years and Python batteries for 5 years, we have been pleased with their performances but in winter the panels suffered from shading by our neighbours chimney. We wanted to even out the years production and decided the best place to put extra panels would be in a dead area of the garden. This would mean we produced more in winter but needed to upgrade the batteries to store the extra. We discussed our ideas with Richard who ran through all the pros and cons of our plan. We settled on the ground mounted 4KW system in the picture. It sits out the way in the garden and we are very pleased with its aesthetic and performance. The fitting team of Dave and TJ were fantastic, great guys to have on site. Friendly, helpful and very neat and tidy. From the first visit by Richard to the fitting, the very prompt back office emails and certificates etc. by Hollie and Ellie we have been truly impressed. A very efficient company, can not praise them enough. As for production and storage, this winter will be a lot better than last! Much less purchased from the grid.

Total Electrical Solutions were well recommended to us by work colleagues that had had solar panels installed already. We love ours now that they are all fitted, our system has an app where we can monitor our solar energy production and where it goes. The whole team were great. Very knowledgeable and approachable and more than happy to chat through what's best for us, our house and our needs with any questions answered quickly. From planning to install we were well looked after. If you are thinking about having solar panels installed we would highly recommend using this company!

A very reliable and professional company. They fitted solar panels on our unit in ramsgate, throughout the whole process they were informative on any questions we asked about battery storage and how the use the app that tells you what your solar panels are producing. We are a roofing company and have worked with this company on a couple of jobs, their employees are a great team to work with. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic company, really lovely guys who came and installed the panels. Super quick & efficient and they explained the app and how it works brilliantly. Always on hand for a phone call if you need anything too. 5 stars, would reccommend to anyone wanting to install solar panels.

Agree with the other five star reviews here. Fabulous fish and chips, very fresh, beautifully fried and large portions. Aside from the great food that you can eat in or out, we loved the really high quality paper bags; a pet hate are plastic bags, as they gather condensation and make the chips soggy! Not so here! We got lucky picking this takeaway. Highly recommended.

A lovely little timber-clad cafe with ramped access and inside / outside seating. Hot meals such as Welsh Rarebit and very nice made-to-order sandwiches too. For dessert there are some amazing cakes, sundaes or even milkshakes. The afternoon teas also looked fantastic. The coffee is also really good, although bizarrely the large ones come in an extremely hot mug with no handle!? We had to ask for a small cup to pour them into as there was no way we were touching that cup! Friendly for little people and an accessible WC there too. All in a nice bite to eat!

Lovely open atmosphere with affordable prices. The hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows is quite tasty. I love the vegetarian breakfast and my mates loved the bunny’s breakfast: the mushrooms and halloumi are especially tasty. Staff are incredibly sweet - they offered our puppy special dog treats too! Would definitely recommend especially if the weather is good! ❤️

With the weather being so glorious, a spot of afternoon tea outdoors was in order. We took a trip to Felicity's Cafe at Quex Park. After performing the, what has become normal, NHS track and trace scanning we were walked over to a table situated perfectly in the sun. We were offered a choice of tea or coffee and told the food would be out shortly. Within a few minutes we had a stack of savoury and sweet treats presented to us. On the lowest tier were 4 sandwiches: salmon and cream cheese, chicken and tarragon, cheese and tomato (amazingly tasted like pizza) and finally egg mayonnaise. On the next tier we had a scotch quails egg, caramelised onion quiche and piccalilli. Finally, the top tier included a chocolate brownie, red velvet, bakewell and carrot cake topped off with a few strawberries. We've had many afternoon teas over the years, it's always great to experience the same sort of meal with differing menus or twists. In this case, there were several elements on offer that wouldn't have been my choice. However, the empty plates at the end speak volumes. The food was great! The cheese and tomato 'pizza' sandwich was amazing. The salmon sandwich fantastic. The scones crumbly, with lashings of clotted cream and a blob a jam. The red velvet light and fluffy with icing that was sweet and creamy. It was the perfect amount of food that left us just to the comfy side of stuffed. Service was great. We were offered refills of tea several times and didn't have to wait long should we require anything else. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Feeling secluded from the rest of the world and all its chaos, it was a satisfying and peaceful way to let time tick by. If you're looking for a good quality afternoon tea in a relaxing setting, give Felicity's Cafe a try.

Oh wow! I'm gluten free so messaged prior to booking to be reassured there were plenty of options. Tasty soup served with a sandwich. They had a chocolate & hazelnut cake too. I was too full up so I took a slice of go 😁 Service was a bit slow but was so worth it. Great experience set in lovely grounds

Went last night for Valentines day and as we entered was greeted with a rose and glass of champagne. The service was amazing and the food was the best Turkish meal we have ever had. The flavours were amazing and plenty of it. It was a set menu for £35.00 pp and worth every penny. The friendly service you receive is fab. Definately going again soon!

Dining at the Parlour is always a delightful experience, and even after 10 years, it remains as exceptional as ever. Kelly and her daughter manage the front of the house, while Glen, a seasoned chef with a history of working in top Kentish Pubs, including the Old Coach & Horses, The Compasses at Crundale, The Chapter Arms at Chartham Hatch, and the George at Newnham, runs the kitchen. It's a family-run business with a strong family ethos. Glen sources all food locally and prepares it with care. Years ago, he transformed an ice cream parlour into the charming venue it is today, complete with original 1930s artwork on the walls. The menu ranges from ice creams, coffee, and homemade cakes to wholesome dishes reminiscent of childhood favorites, catering to all tastes and budgets. The parlour, situated on the outskirts of Birchington's bustling high street, is a popular spot for both locals and visitors, offering limited roadside parking. After an extensive refurbishment, they've reopened, ready to welcome both new and returning patrons. On my recent visit from Canterbury with a friend, a former patron of the Old Coach & Horses, we hadn't booked, but they graciously accommodated us. I messaged Glen en-route. I savoured the Slow Roasted Belly of Pork with crispy crackling and apple puree, accompanied by roast potatoes and vegetables, all brought together with a rich gravy reduction that was simply divine. My friend opted for the Sausage and Mash with Mustard Gravy, which was also perfectly prepared with a flavourful onion gravy. To finish I had a dark truffle chocolate torte dessert with sprinkles of frozen raspberries, and a raspberry swirl ice-cream, it was delicious. As others have said you got to eat here if you want the best in Birchington in my humble opinion. Well done to Glen and the family for keeping up the best standards.
