A fantastic vegan restaurant in the heart of Folkestone. Incredible food, inventive and delicious menu, would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone including meat eaters who fancy trying something different.

Wonderfully creative vegan food, that deserves a Michelin Star ⭐⭐⭐ There is something quite delightful about not having to ask "is this vegan?"! We're always delighted with flavour profiles, the inventive team come up with. We shared 4 small plates, and only just had enough room for pudding... Which you must not miss! Cosy and intimate, but not stuffy. If you've not been, do it!

Absolutely amazing food! My husband is a vegan, we tried lots of different kinds of vegan food before, this one is definitely the best vegan food we have had. We also can feel all the love from the food 😊

In the heart of Folkestone, this vegan gem offers a delightful brunch experience. With a clever menu overlap between breakfast (10-3) and lunch (12-4), you're spoilt for choice. The pea pancakes were a surprising hit - even for our pea-skeptic child! Paired with yogurt and stewed fruits, it's a flavour combo that works. My nourishing bowl of kale, sauerkraut, tempeh, mushrooms, and rice was a wholesome delight. The relaxed atmosphere and good tunes create a perfect backdrop for people-watching as Folkestone's tourists stroll by. Ample seating options cater to all preferences. A solid spot for vegans and curious foodies alike. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town!

All our electrical installation was done by B.R.S during the last 6 month project, we are really please with the job done and service quality. Brandon is an excellent electrician, a man of his words, trustworthy and a great electrical advisor. He put the customer benefits first. If you are thinking to get a great electrical job, definitely B.R.S is your best option.

Lovely meal, great service. The sharing platter for starters was really nice. For mains, I would highly recommend the pork belly or the steak. Went for an anniversary meal and every staff member to came to the table wished us a happy anniversary and had a little personal note on the table it was a nice touch 😊

Popped in here for a lite lunch before hitting the harbour. We were seated quickly without booking, which was great for a Sat. The food was good, but large portions, so be aware.

We were lucky to get a table for early dinner and were not disappointed. The smashed burger was delicious and the service was fantastic and friendly. Food was hot and we hardly waited ten minutes. Great that it’s not overpriced and they don’t automatically add service charge to your bill. We shall definitely return soon. give the overpriced harbour arm a miss and visit this gem

🤩 Took a trip from Margate especially to revisit Marleys. Their service is fantastic and food is just delicious ! Excellent prices for the quality of the food you are getting. So much cheaper than Margate cafes 💰 🐶🛑 NOTE: the cafe js NOT dog friendly if you want to eat a meal (u can have a coffee at the front) so you have to leave your furry friend at home!

Marley's is amazing. I have been here a couple of times with friends and family and I have never been disappointed. Both times I have been here have been for breakfast. The first time I had their version of a fry up and the second time I had pancakes. The fry up was amazing. Really nice sausages and eggs and it was all locally sourced. The pancakes were peanut butter and strawberry. The peanut butter was made at Marleys and I did ask if I could buy some. The price is fair as well and very good value as they make some of the food and buy locally. If you are coming for the pancakes it's worth knowing that they change the topping week to week so look at their Instagram.

Easee One EV point install. I’d shopped about before I emailed Ryan. Ryan was polite and his communication via email was always brilliant. He came to my home and quoted my wife who had no prior knowledge of this. Ryan explained everything to great detail about the install. My wife was happy. Install came at a date and time convenient to ourselves. Very neat work and again he explained everything to wife on the day. Ryan contacted myself via email as well. I’ll will highly recommend EV Connect SE ltd. I’m really happy with every step. Thank you Ryan

I used EV Connect to install a Simpson & Partners EV charger. The quote was competitively priced, and Ryan was able to undertake the install within 2 weeks of booking - which is great in the current market. The installation looks great and was completed in under 3 hours. Ryan tidied up before departing, and also gave me a good run-through of the Simpson & Partners app, as well as taking me through the work that had been done. Recommended.

Could not have been more impressed with CSPM, doing a job restoring power to my 80yr old Mum's flat. They came at short notice (within an hr or so of getting a call) worked hard, worked late into the evening to get everything resolved, were really good with my Mum and were incredibly reasonable - don't hesitate to use these guys

Great place for breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the place looks gorgeous! Their food is very tasty and cooked with fresh ingredients when ordered - true enough, it adds some more waiting time before you can eat, but trust me, you won't regret it! Freshness and quality justify it with no doubt.

Amazing place - a real hidden treasure! I dream of their full English breakfast and its ham. You can order a small portion of full English breakfast plus a single waffle for a decadent breakfast. The cappuccino comes with real chocolate dust. Attentive staff, pleasant environment, soft music. A feel of a friendly neighborhood cafe for a perfect lazy weekend brunch or a relaxed lunch during the week.

Contacted Darren as he’s a GivEnergy fully trained installer. Initial phone consultation was very helpful and Darren had plenty of ideas. Site survey was carried out a few days later with measurements and plenty of ideas for placement of batteries. Darren then sent a fully comprehensive email with various solar and storage options and estimates of annual solar generation and savings. After deciding what options an order was placed for materials. Darren estimated three days to install solar, batteries and also replacing my old EV charger. I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything went, Darren and his team are extremely professional, all the work was completed on time despite horrendous weather and looks really good, and they were so tidy. Darren is one of the nicest guys you could meet and he should be called a Master Electrician and I cannot recommend him highly enough, many thanks Darren.

Darren installed a GIVenergy battery towards the end of July 2024. The installation went smoothly but shortly after it became apparent that there was a problem with theGIVenergy battery. Darren was extremely helpful in liasing with GIVenergy to identify the fault in the battery packs.This led to replacement battery packs from GIV energy which has solved the problems with the system. I can strongly recommend Darren for not only the installation but also the after sales support when it became apparent that the original battery packs supplied by GIVenergy were faulty.

Great stop for coffee during a coastal dog walk, located inside the old signal box at the entrance to the harbour arm. The owner is Sicilian and the food and drink reflect his homeland superbly, coupled with the local heritage and views across the fishing boats and white cliffs coastline. Superb!

Quaint coffee/snack outlet in the former signal box, complete with signal levers, etc. Lovely coffee and Sicilian snack. Sat outside as weather was warm and sunny. Owner (?) even took the time to explain how the special Sicilian snacks were prepared. Will go again!

Found this gem by accident. The owner is an Italian chef. He is very serious about foods. He told us his pistachio croissants are sourced from a local bakery from Sicily, Italy. The croissants are exceptional. They are flaky and crunchy from the outside. The pistachio filling tastes natural and the sweetness is just right. It adds an excellent touch to croissants. We never knows croissants can taste that good with pistachios. We also tried sfogliatella, a kind of cream pastry. The cream filling adds a touch of clove, which opens our eyes on the use of such strong herb in desserts. The coffee beans are sourced from a local roastery from Eastbourne. The owner believes that small local producers/farmers know how to make/grow their specialty, as compared to commercial producers who only care about cost. We share this belief too because during our UK travel, our two best restaurants are both small restaurants in remote parts of Scotland who sourced their ingredients locally. One is on the remote part of Island of Skype. The other is on the highest town in the highlands.

Lovely little cafe. They still keep the control indicator light there as decor which is a nice touch. The coffee is good. And the pizza fritta is really tasty, and it is served piping hot. Also has a good view over the harbour.

On a sunny day in October you can’t beat sitting on the edge of the fantastic Sandgate beach, drinking coffee and eating a delicious bacon and Brie roll. The service was from a hatch, but happy and helpful. The food was delivered with a shout to identify you! A simple but wonderful visit!

Lovely little place on Sandgate sea front. Lots of food options that do sound good. Plenty of drinks too hot & cold. Ice creams and lollies. Tables and chairs out for customers, nice touches with free returnable sunglasses and use of free binoculars, which are great ideas. Staff are nice and polite.

It's a lovely sunny day so we stopped for a coffee and ended up eating the fish finger roll and the warm mackerel roll, gotta say both were phenomenal, just sitting here looking out to the channel with the sun on our faces, just a beautiful setting complimented by the food and drinks, if you haven't been then WHY NOT

Walked along front from Folkestone and spotted Boat House offering bacon and Brie roll … but also noticed crispy fish finger roll😱 being indecisive we ordered one of each and shared… definitely worth it! It’s not what people expect as ‘fast food’ but it’s hot fresh and tasty … and served with a smile! The weather was great so sitting outside on front was also part of a great experience! Thank you!!
