Top Places and Services in Bonnington, Kent

Visited early Saturday morning before riding down to brands hatch and were met with the best hospitality possible. The lady behind the counter saw I was cold from the ride and asked me if I wanted a blanket or hot water bottle, couldnt be more accommodating! Very reasonable price, good food, very clean restaurant and toilets, quick and friendly service. Would recommend anytime. Thank you for a fantastic breakfast experience!

I believe it's under new ownership since I last went there some time ago. I would say it's improved overall. I enjoyed the friendly staff and a calm atmosphere. I like that!!
Anyway. The food was well presented and was hot and tasty!! It's reasonably priced, too.
Overall, yes, I'd pop through there again when I'm passing in the future.

Recommended!!

1st time here. Menu has something for everyone. Clean and tidy. Service was good. Food very good. Only downside is the car park. Massive pot hole and a bit rough. The cafe itself is very good. Will defo use again.

Have been a regular of this cafe for just shy of 20 years now and have seen ownership and menu changes in this time, for the better and for the worse.

We are creatures of habit and the most recent take over was not received well amongst the regular tuck inn aficionados, which was based on objective truth …until now.

The Tuck Inn was famed for fast service, good portions, competitive pricing and breakfast quality that was expected of a ‘greasy spoon’ (cash n carry fayre!!).

My visit today (26/08/2024 1230hrs) was not planned but more of a ‘why not’ on approach. As always my review will be based on their most popular item, the breakfasts/brunch.

It was reasonably busy, as expected of a Sunday, but still plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Getting served took around 5 minutes as there was a queue of 4 upon arrival. I chose breakfast option 7, with no burger (2 x sausages, 2 x egg, 2 x bacon, beans, mushrooms and chips) which cost £9.80. Pretty reasonable in this day and age.

It took around 5 minutes 30 seconds for the food to arrive. Portions excellent, hot and everything was well cooked.

The chips (more like fries) were akin to what you’d expect out of a kebab shop, not bad. The mushrooms were your standard closed cap mushrooms fried in oil, they didn’t last long!

The baked beans were of a very good quality and if I’m not mistaken, Heinz branded, or a very good off brand clone.

The eggs were not your anaemic yellow affair but rich orange yolks and whites that were PERFECTLY cooked, perfect fried eggs to me are snot free and runny yolk with a thin jammy layer.

The bacon is your standard back bacon, unsmoked, cash n carry job. Not bad but personal preference would have the bacon cooked a touch more.

Now the sausages are what makes this, no longer are they cheap and rusk filled ‘chip shop’ sausages but rich n thick Lincolnshire style sausages with a good ‘snap’ on cutting and a rich meaty and herb flavour, indicative of a good quality sausage.

Condiments on offer are very good for a cafe. Proper HP sauce, Heinz ketchup, salt, pepper and malt vinegar.

Overall menu selection is very good, from your standard cafe favourites to more ‘bougie’ offerings like eggs benedict and smoked salmon.

Pricing is average-high but acceptable given the apparent quality upgrades.

Staff friendly, toilets clean, quick, efficient service and a proper LOCAL business.

Use it or lose it!

As always The Tuck Inn was just spectacular! It really is the best cafe in Kent!!

We always come for breakfast and would recommend anyone coming to try the breakfast. On this visit we were actually coming for lunch and it was delicious, super friendly and kind staff, really quick service and good prices. Would absolutely recommend anyone to come for either breakfast or lunch. You’ll never be dissatisfied.
