🤩 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!

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 😊

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

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.

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.

Joe & team have helped us with a number of jobs over the years, the latest being our Tesla EV charger. We’re always pleased with the service and nothing ever seems too much. Will always recommend. Thank you.

I've relied on Joe and his team for years across multiple properties, and their service has always been outstanding. They are professional, punctual, and highly skilled. Every job is done with precision and care. Joe consistently provides clear explanations and practical advice, ensuring top-notch results every time. I highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Highly Recommended Joe and Lewis installed new circuits for our kitchen recently, including various lighting solutions, plus a new consumer unit and an EV charger. They are highly professional, punctual, tidy, arrive when they say they are going to and nothing is too much trouble. I like the fact that Joe has a can-do attitude and rather than just taking the easy route he works with you to develop your own ideas, suggesting alternatives to consider and helps to save costs where possible. I will definitely be using Parker Electrical for any future requirements.

This cafe has all the 'true' quiltlies of a traditional cafe. I personally love the experience when visiting, it's simply comfortable. I go alone on luch breaks when working near by. Discovered this only a few weeks back. I Think it's family run, and the guy who serves just seems really nice. Will always support such establishments. food is great, the price is great, and coffee is better than most coffee shops. £7.50-£8 for a solid breakfast w/coffee can't be beaten. I do many reviews on google and will always make a point of showcasing exceptional establishments with detailed reviews. Well done, guys. I hope you are here for many, many years to come.

Went there last week and had a great experience. They serve excellent Turkish dishes- the kebabs and platters were generous in portion and tastes great. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I noticed afterwards that they didn’t include a service fee in the bill which I only realized when I got home. Could leave a tip for the great service. Despite this, I recommend this place for their food and service

Lovely meal for 2 with mixed grill, chicken shish, beers and lots of freebie extras like bread and baklava for around £60: staff were great too.

Woooow! Don’t think about it just book it. It’s was amazing. The staff could not do enough for you. The food portions were huge, and tasted AMAZING! Finished off by complementary lolly pops for the kids and baklava and Turkish tea for us! We will be returning more than once. Thank you a great experience.

Came for a celebration meal with family. Managed to get a seat outside without reserving, but looks like it gets pretty busy so probably best to book ahead. Had the platter for 2/3 people to share with two cold meze to start. The stuffed vine leaves were very good! The star of the show was the meats, all of which were full of flavour and juicy! There was a lot of rice and bulgur to go with it so definitely a good portion for 3 people. To finish I had a Turkish coffee which came with a piece of Turkish delight. I'd not had a Turkish coffee before, but I was very pleasantly surprised as it had a similar taste to chocolate. Staff were great and the price was fairly reasonable for the portion size you get!

Nice little cafe offering an assortment of food and hot/cold drinks too. The price is about average and the food was hot and didn’t take to long to be served once ordered. Yes it’s wheelchair accessible but the parking is hit and miss as it’s on the corner of a main road and side street. The staff were welcoming which is a bonus but it’s only downside I’d say it’s quite small inside.

Had breakfast here this morning, it was absolutely delicious! Great menu with a good variety of choices at excellent value. Our food came quickly, piping hot and good sized portions. The food was also of a good quality and cooked to perfection, especially the eggs. The stand out part though was the excellent staff giving a fantastic warm friendly welcome, prompt table service (despite being really busy) and going above and beyond to interact with all customers. As a pub & restaurant landlord & landlady, from our point of view, this place has the perfect balance of everything which has clearly made it THE place to go for breakfast in Folkestone. We will definitely be back! 😁

From the moment you step into Sailbox, you’re greeted by an ambiance that promises an unforgettable experience. The food is nothing short of epic, with flavors that sail you through a delicious journey of culinary excellence. Each dish is a masterpiece, crafted with care and presented with flair. As you savor the exquisite cuisine, your eyes are treated to the amazing view. The picturesque vista of the Folkestone coastline is a feast for the eyes, complementing the feast on your plate. It’s a harmonious blend of nature’s beauty and gastronomic delights. The atmosphere is elevated by the great music that resonates through the space, setting a rhythm that’s both relaxing and invigorating. It’s the perfect backdrop for dining, chatting, and making memories. And then, there’s the incredible Bloody Mary—a shout out is indeed in order for this concoction. It’s bold, it’s zesty, and it’s the perfect accompaniment to the epicurean adventure at Sailbox. This isn’t just a drink; it’s a statement—a testament to the creativity and passion that flows through the venue. In conclusion, Sailbox in Folkestone is more than a restaurant; it’s a destination that offers a symphony of tastes, sights, and sounds. It’s a place where each visit is a new voyage, and every meal is a discovery. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Stopped by for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning place was very busy but there were seats inside, despite the outside terrace looking full in the sun. Decided to have the Harbour Master cooked breakfast, the wife decided on the Fisherman's breakfast. Mine was cooked perfectly, good portions and the hash brown bites a delight!

Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.

Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.
