Excellent work as always from James and his team. Despite being busy, he is well organised and always fits me in somehow! The job is done properly, at a fair price, and clean up is always good too. Pleasure to work with and I will continue working with them in future.

A quirky characterful themed cafe with the tone set by the owner and staff. Well worth a visit. It is a small place so a bit crowded and food took a while but lots to look at while you wait and it was worth waiting for. Generous portions well cooked.

Great restaurant with friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Food was delicious and served in a timely manner. The WW2 decor has a very interesting history and adds an extra charm that you don’t get at a lot of other cafés. 100% recommend if you’re in the area and fancy a tasty brunch!

I have used Duncan several times to undertake work at my business, including a full fuse board replacement and some technical work to connect up a gas shut-off system. Ducan's work is always of the highest quality, completed quickly, tidily and for a competitive price. I can highly recommend his work.

Duncan came and helped us with electrical upgrades for our kitchen renovation which were completed to a very high standard. The works were quite tricky and required a few visits, which were attended punctually around the kitchen renovation. I couldn’t recommend Strangxl as a company more. As a family he was very mindful of our home and children. The electrical safety certificates have been carried out by Duncan previously and we will continue to have his services to make sure our electrics run safely and to the current recommended standards. Thank you very much!

Jack arrived at my house to fit an EV Zappi charger, all paid for by my company and I couldn't be there, my husband was there and as a tradesman himself couldn't praise Jack enough 'lovely, chatty, young lad, knew what he was doing' as i couldn't be there he came when I could and explained the ev and charger to me. I agree with my husband, what an amazing young man, professional and Informative, if I had to recommend I definitely would.

ACY were appointed to comelete the electrical works following the install of a Garden Building. Harry & Alfie arrived on time (2 hours 50 mins drive) and did a superb job. Polite, effiicent and a professional 'can do' attitude. How refreshing. Would have no hesitation in recommending ACY Electrical Services for your electrical needs. Thank you - Paul

We had Jack to install the electrics to our new garden cabin he arrived on time considering the long journey he had, was very friendly, worked really hard while he was here and done a great job. He was very professional, approachable and was able to answer any questions we had. He installed everything exactly where we required it, was a pleasure to have him working at our property.

Dave was recommended to us and turned up on the day he was contacted, he was presented with an awkward task of wiring in two built in ovens with limited space to position the electrical connections. He solved the problem swiftly and competently, completing the task in a relatively short time. It was clear he had a good knowledge and understanding of his job and I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking for a good, reliable electrian.

Dave has been brilliant. We recently moved into a flat and got three quotes for rewiring. Dave was by far the most reasonable and also offered a more comprehensive service than the other electricians. He has been extremely flexible, full of great suggestions, is very safety conscious and has a lovely team.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Greenaway Electrical. Tim, and Alfie, have done a fantastic job for us with a whole range of repairs. I have been very grateful for the way Tim has clearly explained what needs doing, for the efficient way the work has been done and the reasonable prices charged.

Tim was excellent from start to finish. He did a site visit & clearly identified how long the job would take and the cost involved. He took the time to discuss different options to better suit our needs & was clean & tidy throughout the whole job. Can’t recommend Greenaway Electrical enough. Thank you again Tim.

Have just had my Mother’s 100th birthday celebrations at Christies Wine Bar and Sue and the staff were amazing. They could not have done more to make the afternoon so special. They were all attentive to our needs, allowed us to decorate the room and were there to ensure everyone’s needs were met. The buffet food was fantastic and everyone was catered for. Thank you so much for everything.

The best thing about this place was the people! Really good service from our waitress and the owner. It’s a locals place but they were very welcoming and Id definitely return. Roast was great especially cauli cheese and potatoes- the veggie option could do with a bit of improving however.

With the weather being so glorious, a spot of afternoon tea outdoors was in order. We took a trip to Felicity's Cafe at Quex Park. After performing the, what has become normal, NHS track and trace scanning we were walked over to a table situated perfectly in the sun. We were offered a choice of tea or coffee and told the food would be out shortly. Within a few minutes we had a stack of savoury and sweet treats presented to us. On the lowest tier were 4 sandwiches: salmon and cream cheese, chicken and tarragon, cheese and tomato (amazingly tasted like pizza) and finally egg mayonnaise. On the next tier we had a scotch quails egg, caramelised onion quiche and piccalilli. Finally, the top tier included a chocolate brownie, red velvet, bakewell and carrot cake topped off with a few strawberries. We've had many afternoon teas over the years, it's always great to experience the same sort of meal with differing menus or twists. In this case, there were several elements on offer that wouldn't have been my choice. However, the empty plates at the end speak volumes. The food was great! The cheese and tomato 'pizza' sandwich was amazing. The salmon sandwich fantastic. The scones crumbly, with lashings of clotted cream and a blob a jam. The red velvet light and fluffy with icing that was sweet and creamy. It was the perfect amount of food that left us just to the comfy side of stuffed. Service was great. We were offered refills of tea several times and didn't have to wait long should we require anything else. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Feeling secluded from the rest of the world and all its chaos, it was a satisfying and peaceful way to let time tick by. If you're looking for a good quality afternoon tea in a relaxing setting, give Felicity's Cafe a try.

Lovely open atmosphere with affordable prices. The hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows is quite tasty. I love the vegetarian breakfast and my mates loved the bunny’s breakfast: the mushrooms and halloumi are especially tasty. Staff are incredibly sweet - they offered our puppy special dog treats too! Would definitely recommend especially if the weather is good! ❤️

Oh wow! I'm gluten free so messaged prior to booking to be reassured there were plenty of options. Tasty soup served with a sandwich. They had a chocolate & hazelnut cake too. I was too full up so I took a slice of go 😁 Service was a bit slow but was so worth it. Great experience set in lovely grounds

A lovely little timber-clad cafe with ramped access and inside / outside seating. Hot meals such as Welsh Rarebit and very nice made-to-order sandwiches too. For dessert there are some amazing cakes, sundaes or even milkshakes. The afternoon teas also looked fantastic. The coffee is also really good, although bizarrely the large ones come in an extremely hot mug with no handle!? We had to ask for a small cup to pour them into as there was no way we were touching that cup! Friendly for little people and an accessible WC there too. All in a nice bite to eat!

The Parlour

11-13 Minnis Rd, Birchington-on-Sea, Birchington CT7 9SD, UK

P: 01843 841800

Dining at the Parlour is always a delightful experience, and even after 10 years, it remains as exceptional as ever. Kelly and her daughter manage the front of the house, while Glen, a seasoned chef with a history of working in top Kentish Pubs, including the Old Coach & Horses, The Compasses at Crundale, The Chapter Arms at Chartham Hatch, and the George at Newnham, runs the kitchen. It's a family-run business with a strong family ethos. Glen sources all food locally and prepares it with care. Years ago, he transformed an ice cream parlour into the charming venue it is today, complete with original 1930s artwork on the walls. The menu ranges from ice creams, coffee, and homemade cakes to wholesome dishes reminiscent of childhood favorites, catering to all tastes and budgets. The parlour, situated on the outskirts of Birchington's bustling high street, is a popular spot for both locals and visitors, offering limited roadside parking. After an extensive refurbishment, they've reopened, ready to welcome both new and returning patrons. On my recent visit from Canterbury with a friend, a former patron of the Old Coach & Horses, we hadn't booked, but they graciously accommodated us. I messaged Glen en-route. I savoured the Slow Roasted Belly of Pork with crispy crackling and apple puree, accompanied by roast potatoes and vegetables, all brought together with a rich gravy reduction that was simply divine. My friend opted for the Sausage and Mash with Mustard Gravy, which was also perfectly prepared with a flavourful onion gravy. To finish I had a dark truffle chocolate torte dessert with sprinkles of frozen raspberries, and a raspberry swirl ice-cream, it was delicious. As others have said you got to eat here if you want the best in Birchington in my humble opinion. Well done to Glen and the family for keeping up the best standards.
