Darren is a fantastically knowledgable electrician. We had Darren install our solar, battery, and inverter. Everything went like clockwork, very neat, tidy and everything just works. Great job and a super conscientious person. A*
Rating: 5 / 5
Prompt, professional and helpful , explaining details of operation throughout . Yes I would recommend Darren for battery installs without hesitation!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
Very professional, battery storage completed as quoted, on time and to a very high standard at an excellent price. I can thoroughly recommend this company for this type of work.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Where do I start! The most friendly welcome, a cute little bar area for pre dinner drinks, and then an outstanding 3 course dinner served by a brilliant waiter Amit. The flavor’s in the food were exceptional and the portions were really decent! Mark Sergeant was very present throughout the evening, bringing out some of the dishes, asking us our thoughts, and making us laugh. What was really refreshing was not being kicked off your table 2 hrs after arriving. In fact, we were still eating at gone 10pm having arrived at 19:30! There were perfect gaps in between each course. This really is a little gem of a restaurant where they have got everything spot on. Tierney who was serving up fabulous drinks was also incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us transport back to the station. Thank you! We will definitely be back 😊

My Bestest Brother from another Mother treated us to lunch at MS Brasserie. Everything was absolutely deliciously outstanding. Our waiter sharing exquisite detail about the menu & chef Mark explaining the abundance of love and creativity that goes into each dish derived from all local produce. A lunch fit for Kings & Queens. One of the best food lunches I’ve ever had. Special place set on the delightful Folkestone sea front. Thank you 🙏 so much for a wonderful afternoon Paul Briggs.

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.

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.

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 😊

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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!

We had a fantastic evening here on a Friday night. We were a party of 10. We received a very warm welcome from all of the staff. The food was fantastic: fresh, great quality and delicious. The margaritas were wonderful too. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Rating: 5 / 5
What a meal! We ventured in and have to say that the service was fantastic, especially with our autistic son. Some people are perfect in the service industry and it's a pity more in the UK don't understand that it's all part of the experience! Anyway, the food was so tasty and rich with flavours, that it was a delight to savour each mouthful. We had whitebait, tacos and empanadas for starters, followed by Chicken & Pulled Pork Burritos and a Salteados. All was absolutely delicious and we left nothing on the plates. The presentation of the food was also pretty damn good and that just sets you up for the experience of savouring the taste of everything. Most definitely a place to return to, especially with friends.

I have been a long time fan of Mexican food in Folkestone and there was always only one choice. Going to Morena has made me re-think this however. The staff were nice and friendly, very helpful with queries and always made sure we had drinks. Food came out very hot and very quick. Mexican food is the best when it is piping hot and this did not disappoint. The burrito was so full of good fillings it was hard to finish! Would recommend and will definitely be coming back for more.

Visited here after a recommendation from the owner of the hotel I was staying at. I had very high expectations but I was not prepared for how good it was. First and foremost the staff were very friendly and attentive, something that is sadly missing in a lot of restaurants these days. As soon as I sat down I was offered the drinks menu and that arrived very quickly. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and they were so good! The price was very reasonable too. Would strongly recommend Morena!
Rating: 5 / 5
Booked our work meal here for 14 people and we were not disappointed. Food was fantastic and a charming atmosphere that invites you in. Food wait was minimal and it all came out at the same time so no one was left watching others eat. 100% would recommend and for me personally is the greatest Mexican food establishment that Folkestone has ever had.

Our friends recommended Antonio to us. Antonio is extremely professional and reliable. He has academic and professional knowledge in his field. He plans his work in detail and always offers best solution. He leaves the work place spotlessly clean. He offers competitive prices. We have used Antonio’s services 4 times now and we have recommended his services to our neighbours and friends. We cannot thank Antonio enough. Amazing guy! Excellent work ethics! Excellent standards of work! Highly recommend!

I have used Antonio on numerous occasions, most recently to rewire my house and add new outdoor electrical outlets for security cameras and lighting. It was a large job due to its complexity and the need to add consumer units to different parts of the property. Antonio's price was very competitive, but most importantly he was professional, polite and flexible. My frequent mind changes did not phase him at all, and he did not show any annoyance (I would not have been so accomodating). His workmanship and knowledge was top notch, likely from his teaching background. I have included a picture of how neat his wiring was for a consumer unit installation. If you are looking for a professional and dependable electrician, I could not reccommend Antonio highly enough.
Rating: 5 / 5
Antonio came recommended by a colleague, its not hard to see why. He is always on time, nothing is too much and charges very reasonable rates. There are several jobs that need to be done throughout the house but the first job he did was to replace our switchboard. The work is to a very high standard, he leaves things clean and tidy when he is done. It's very hard these days to find a reliable craftsman and I am very pleased to have come across Antonio. Don't look further if you are looking for a very skilled and punctual electrician who is a top guy to boot!
Rating: 5 / 5
Antonio did a great job doing the electrics in my flat, he is easy to get on with and someone you can trust. He has brought the electrics up to date at a price I was more than happy with. I would highly recommend Antonio and if I need an electrician in the future I would definitely use him again.

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

I wish I had this cafe near where I live. I would go there every morning, if not every week to get their amazing breakfast 🥹 We were visiting Folkestone and on the very last day in the morning before we left the town, we decided to have breakfast there. I’m simply glad I did - it’s on the iconic old street and the view from the cafe is what I find so cinematic - I felt as if I was in a scene from a film or something. The place is busy but in the morning it wasn’t too hard to find the seats. We ordered granola, porridge, croissant and toasted banana bread with a pot of tea. It was massive that I felt full - and every meal was nicely prepared and I felt healthy eating them. My favourite was the toasted banana bread - the best banana bread I’ve ever had. I can’t forget to mention that all of the staff were very welcoming and lovely. They made my morning great. Thank you so much for providing great service!

A relaxing coffee place with lots of books to choose from and great for conversations. I tried the biscoff hot chocolate and it was one of the best I have tried! Highly recommend for anyone who loves hot chocolate. We also tried the chocolate cake. It was a bit too sweet for me. The service was great and the staff were friendly. Absolutely love this place.
Rating: 5 / 5
A little piece of London in Folkestone! Cool and cute cafe with a lovely decor and atmosphere. I highly recommend the cappuccino (one with coconut milk is divine) and a slice of one of their lovely cakes. What’s also great is when you get a slice of cake it’s a proper slice - not a slither! The coffee is some of the best I’ve had in the area.
Rating: 5 / 5
Folkestone has evolved over the years and Steep Street occupies that spot as the “go to” place for coffee, cake and chilled vibes. Perfectly made proper coffee, the cakes are delicious (and I don’t even have a sweet tooth) and it’s created a family friendly, local vibe that’s always busy. Highly recommended.

I have used Relay at 5 different properties - varying roles, from running electrics round the garden for lighting and hot tubs, full re wires and then changing lights and moving sockets and switches. They always turn up when they say they are normally with a Text message reminder sent the day before arrival ,nothing is any hassle ( even if the plans / design change our end ) and all always polite and professional. I never hesitate to pass on their details to friends and family and everyone has the same view! I have dealt with alot of electricians in my time and these guys can do the lot. Also good in ‘urgent’ cases for my tenanted properties - they can always juggle something to get someone back on supply or to fix a fault So I will always recommend Relay to anyone
