We had a wonderful meal, great food, lovely staff, good atmosphere. The waitress made a mistake with our order, but dealt with it superbly. The loss of one star is actually for only having one ale on tap. This is a fairly busy pub, one ale is a fairly poor show.

We booked for my daughter’s 26th Birthday. 14 adults and 2 toddlers. We Would all definitely highly recommend. Well organised, very friendly , accommodating, helpful staff. The food was amazing, we were stuffed by the end of the evening. They even put candles on the cake when I’d forgotten without asking, very thoughtful. We’re planning our next visit already. Thank you all.

I booked this pub/restaurant on the hoof as I was attending a conference with colleagues from Germany, Holland, Poland & France in Sittingbourne and wanted my team mates to experience a typical country pub. The Sun Inn did not disappoint. The staff were incredible, patient and extremely courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was fresh, very tasty and typically English, my colleagues left in a very good mood. Karen, Kim and the team were fantastic, I will return!!!

Very good value set lunch. I had the calamari to start with, which were huge with a lovely panko breading (there were three, but I'd already eaten one before taking the photo). For main, I had the adana kebab which was very tasty and perfectly complemented with their bread, chilli sauce and garlic sauce. I must also call out the service too which was excellent. Will definitely be back!

We ate here for the first time this evening with friends and was very impressed! Lovely decor, staff were really friendly and very attentive and the food was superb. We were bought a complimentary bread basket for the table, it was fresh and warm and came with a selection of dips and a salad bowl. Our friends ordered a mixed shared starter which looked and smelt amazing and for mains I ordered the lamb chops which came with the option of rice or chips of which I opted for the chips. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly and was a good portion size, the chips were really well seasoned and everything was really tasty. The staff were very attentive and made sure everything was ok, including asking us if the temperature in the restaurant was ok which I felt was thoughtful. Everyone at our table was very happy with their meals and we will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend a visit.

We stopped here for lunch today after messy pups play cafe. Really delicious lunch and such good value. £10.90 for two courses! Starters served with fresh salad, bread and sauces! The best calamari that I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot! Amazing service from Sait! Would definitely recommend and would come back next time I’m in Sittingbourne! Thank you!

So we decided to visit this restaurant after hearing rave reviews in the local newspaper, and the reviews where correct! We had a table reserved for 13:30 in a Saturday afternoon, when we turned up we where greeted by a very attentive staff member that showed us to our table, we where shown to a lovely booth in the window , We opted for a chicken shish and a Turkish pizza, which neither of us had tried before , Before our mains turned up the waiter brought over complimentary bread, large salad and dips, what a nice surprise! Out mains where amazing, super tasty and well presented, one of the best chicken shish I have had! Once we had finished our mains we had two pieces of baklava, which we where informed was homemade and it tasted it , amazing. We will definitely be coming back in the week to try the lunch menu, all in all an amazing Turkish restaurant with attentive staff, Well done Cinar Kitchen 👍😀

The Plough and Harrow Greek Taverna
Oad St, Borden, Oad Street, Kent ME9 8LB, UK | Restaurant P: 01795 841111
Rating: 4.6 (271) Price Level:
We ordered a takeaway for my wife's birthday as we aren't able to eat out at the moment. We'd always intended to try Plough and Harrow as a restaurant, so this was an easy choice when we wanted something a little special for a celebration. We were not disappointed! My daughter ordered cheeseburger and chips. I didn't get to try it but it looked amazing - packed full with a decent patty and lots of cheese and salad. It beat my daughter but she gave it a good go. My son ordered ribs and chips. He's a fussy eater so we asked for no coleslaw, but the amount of ribs was incredible. He battled his way through it and managed to finish it off. My wife ordered chicken skewers (you get two in a portion) and chips, which also came with halloumi, tzatsiki and pitta bread. Tender chicken, well seasoned and very tasty. I went for the mixed grill - 1 lamb skewer, 1 chicken skewer, sausage, chops, chicken wings, grilled tomatoes, chips (I think I've forgotten some bits too). It was amazing - I nearly finished it but ultimately beat me. We also ordered loaded fries and garlic mushrooms. Probably more food than we needed, but both equally delicious. Finally, as we'd heard good things, we also ordered some Lotus Biscoff and Black Forest cheesecake slices. After a considerable time after our main course, we enjoyed these - creamy and crunchy in all the right places. I would thoroughly recommend The Plough and Harrow Taverna. I look forward to when we can enjoy dining there in the future when circumstances allow.

Great owner who was very kind and hospitable when my car broke down in front of his shop. Offered me a soft drink whilst I was waiting for a mechanic to come. Many thanks 🙏

Was very happy with the big servings of authentic calamari, chicken, and sheftalia. Looking forward to exploring the meze options on next visit! Get some Aioli for the meat
Rating: 4 / 5
You won't leave this place hungry!!! We had the £25 mezze and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The amount of food we got was ridiculous. So much so I forgot how many courses we had! The food was very nice and the staff are very friendly. If you like Greek food then you really should give this place a try!
Rating: 4 / 5
For a birthday lunch on a Sunday, The Plough and Harrow Greek Taverna was a perfectly decent spot. I'm not going to be too critical here because its charm could be quickly tarnished by comparing this Taverna to finer eateries. Despite the fact that the owners are not themselves Greek, there's a home-cooked honesty to this place. Do not expect fine dining, but do expect plenty of well cooked food. In fact, the Mega Meze for four people was enormous. The ribs were tender, the chicken succulent, the rice fluffy and so on. However, with four generous courses, it was a bit of a food challenge and the food definitely won! Thankfully, the owners boxed up about half of it which became the following day's dinner. Result! The wine selection appears to lean into the cheap, cheerful and guzzly ethos. The Plough and Harrow is a little out of the way and street parking is in short supply. That said, inside is pleasantly airy with larger tables than most restaurants (they need to be for all that food). Service definitely comes with a smile. There's also an enclosed courtyard to the rear that has additional seating. I am sure it would be rather pleasant on a balmy summer's evening. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and wish the owners much success for the future.

Such a small cafe, has been opened for years but changed hands many times, it's exceptional value for money, large portion sizes and lots to choose from, cooked very well and staff very friendly

Quick, efficient, friendly service. Clean environment. Very tasty, generous breakfasts which were perfectly cooked. Only thing is be careful on the way to the toilet as on the way on the outside path there is a deep hole on the right hand side which my disabled husband nearly had a bad accident with.

Absolutely adore the entire place. Service is amazing, the food is delicious, and the price is very cheap for what you get. Gotta be the best cafe in town by far.

Just wish we'd discovered the Three Hats before! Lovely friendly family pub, great hosts and excellent food. Best chilli burger I've had as well as the cheesy chilli chips my wife had. We sat in the good sized beer garden which was very pleasant although it does look in need of a bit of a refresh! Didn't put us off though Sat in a lot worse and we will definitely be coming back very soon. The 20-25 minutes walk there for us is definitely worth it 😀

An amazing family pub. Been going here for 9 years with my family, including my son who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 6. Best food, best atmosphere, genuinely lovely staff and would recommend to all. Loving the food offers they do midweek, really helps out the local Milton and Sittingbourne community. Support local. They even do delivery!!

This cafe has a great atmosphere. Even to the point if you have dietary needs they will do whatever they can to accommodate them. The Chef cooks to a high standard and the staff are always polite and helpful. Stacey the young lady serving is such a happy polite person and always has time to chat and make you welcome. Stacey is definitely an asset to the restaurant. Truly a hard worker and very popular.

We had breakfast here and the food was very tasty. We had a mixture of traditional breakfast foods and pancakes. The portion sizes were generous and the prices are good value for money. The scrambled eggs on toast is huge! The eggs were lovely and fluffy. The staff were talkative, individually complemented the children and were very friendly. Would definitely visit again.
Rating: 5 / 5
Pleasantly suprised from my visits. Excellent food worthy of any restaurant. WiFi is available First the slightly less good, the 'facilities' (WC) are basic, unheated and you have to go outdoors - but they were clean and well maintained. The outside looks like a typical local cafe/ greasy spoon, and while they do seem to have those items in popular demand I thought I would step outside the appearance when I saw smashed avocado and poached egg on the menu. The avocado was perfect in consistancy and the poached egg was cooked as well as any I have had at double the price. The proportions of side to main was just about perfect. On my return trip I stepped even further and risked the Egg Royal, the smoked salmon was plentiful and fresh, the poached eggs were once again perfect and the hollandaise sauce was delicately flavoured and pleasantly warmed. All in all I will be coming back here anytime I need to visit the town, food is excellent, service is prompt, pleasant, and not intrusive. Prices are low for the quality of the food.

Ephesus Lounge & Meze Bar
47 High St, Sittingbourne ME10 4AW, UK | Mediterranean Restaurant P: 01795 553803
Rating: 4.5 (204) Price Level:
We regularly visit Ephesus to enjoy a decent quiet meal with and without the kids. The owners are a lovely couple who make you feel so welcome and not rushed like other local restaurants. The food has always been to a real high standard so we always recommend dining here. We have booked here a couple of times for birthdays with a larger group and never had any complaints and my family can be quiet fussy. This year I decided to book for Christmas Day dinner for 24 of us. It can be a concern as you want everything to go perfect and with everyone liking there dinner cooked differently I didn’t want anyone to wish they hadn’t joined us as a couple of the family members were unsure on coming as they like their Christmas dinner at home their way, BUT it could not have been any better. With Christmas crackers on the tables and plenty of options for starters, main and desert for the 3 course meal. Some chose the traditional Turkey roast, some had sirloin steak, mixed grill and some had vegetable moussaka. All cooked perfectly. I don’t remember anyone leaving any of there meals (maybe the kids due to the generous size portions). IT WAS AMAZING. Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas Day.

Me and my brother and I were looking for somewhere to have some breakfast in Sittingbourne, and I happened to find this restaurant and decided to dine there. We were welcomed by a wonderful gentleman who seated us and took our drinks order. Breakfast was ordered shortly after by a wonderful waitress who was very polite and friendly, the food came really fast and both mine and my brothers food was really, really good, best breakfast I've had in a long time. The atmosphere was really nice and was something that me and my brother commented on. The restaurant is stylish and very clean, I can't comment on the evening experience, but it's something that I'm definitely looking forward to trying. The owner explained that they will be doing Sunday roasts, which will definitely be my next visit. If you're in the area and are looking for somewhere to eat either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then I highly recommend visiting Ephesus.

Fantastic food and good prices. The host / owner was very lovely and accommodating, the service was exceptional and stood out to the both of us very much, all day we were saying how great the service was. Atmosphere was chilled, comfy furniture, and very well made cocktails. Overall a 10/10 for Sittingbourne.
