What a great, honest, down-to-earth place. Solid grub (though could do with more vegan options, please! 🙏🏻), lovely staff, wonderful spot in Birchington that the DFLs tend not to find.

Went last night for Valentines day and as we entered was greeted with a rose and glass of champagne. The service was amazing and the food was the best Turkish meal we have ever had. The flavours were amazing and plenty of it. It was a set menu for £35.00 pp and worth every penny. The friendly service you receive is fab. Definately going again soon! Their casseroles are to die for!!!!!

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.

Beautifully cooked Christmas lunch. As usual, the food was lovely, the fresh veg always goes down well, gravy is divine and roast pots, lush. Try the roast pork, it's divine.

Agree with the other five star reviews here. Fabulous fish and chips, very fresh, beautifully fried and large portions. Aside from the great food that you can eat in or out, we loved the really high quality paper bags; a pet hate are plastic bags, as they gather condensation and make the chips soggy! Not so here! We got lucky picking this takeaway. Highly recommended.

This place is 10/10. Service = phenomenal. Super affordable and actually quite cheap for what you’re paying for. Atmosphere is homely with a separated area for working so that part of downstairs is more social. Great decor, great playlist. We both ordered the kimchi hash special. The really did the Korean influence justice (saying this as an East Asian person who has eaten too many minimal effort whitewashed token use of Asian ingredients in restaurants). Straight up delicious. They also take payment on order so it’s great if you need to rush off after. Breakfast and drink totalled to around £9 per person including an extra sausage added on for each of us

Fabulous brunch, as ever, from the friendly, helpful, attentive team at Cliffs. We love this place, with its relaxed, retro-vinyl vibe. No better place to relax and re-fuel, with the excellent choice of inventive breakfast and brunch dishes, and great coffee. The tamari mushrooms are to die for, and the veggie breakfast, just superb. The chill-out tables upstairs are ideal for friends and family get-togethers, the play area for toddlers is the ‘icing on the cake’. We’ll be back!

Great place for breakfast. The meaty is delicious and a big portion. Very fresh and so tasty!! The coffee is also great. Friendly and welcoming staff. The perfect place to bring a dog or sit and relax with a book. The downstairs is abit more crowded now that you can’t use upstairs but there is a nice sofa by the window.

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! ❤️

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!

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

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.

Dropped in for breakfast, warm greeting and order taken promptly. Food was hot and well cooked. Reasonable prices and nice atmosphere and decor. Slight gripe, the knives reminded me of those from school and the handle dug into the palm of my hand whilst cutting, invest in some better quality knives and forks. Would absolutely visit again.

If you are looking for a bargain - this isn't the place. If you are looking for quality, variety, exceptional customer service - this IS the place to come! Not only has the place got a fish monger, butcher, deli & cheese counter, it has a pizza parlour and a lovely café as well as a wide range of homemade frozen food and a little pet corner outside. The staff here are exceptional and very helpful. The food on sale, especially on the fresh side of things is expensive, for example a scotch egg is £2.75, however, it isn't a supermarket scotch egg! The products we purchased were of the highest quality and they are well worth the extra £! The staff were brilliant, certainly worth shouting about especially the young lady on the deli / cheese counter today who was so nice. Certainly revisiting - Thank You
