The Best Restaurants in Badlesmere, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Had our company Christmas meal here like we did 10 years ago. The food was well presented and tasty. Service was very good. Overall a very nice experience. Look forward to coming again

Found this lovely pub today. The landlord was very welcoming and the waitress so friendly. After having a difficult choice to make as the menu was so tempting. I decided on the liver and bacon which was absolutely delicious. Creamy mash and tasty onions. My friend went for the lamb and mint pie which she said that she couldn’t fault. A lovey fire burning and a cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back if I can find it again. Thank you.

It is my local pub and I am glad it is. The food here is delicious and the Sunday roast is amazing. I highly recommend it. All the staff are very nice and the tables outside are very nice to sit on in the sun Inside the atmosphere is lovely. The parrot is also very cute. Overall I highly recommend coming here.

Consistently delicious English classic dishes with great beer options in a great setting. Both Bangers & mash and steak & ale pie are highly recommended. Try to come here at least once when visiting my wife’s family in Kent.

Nice setting almost on the water. We sat outside but there is good seating inside too. Car park right at the pub which is handy. The interior of the pub is very well fitted, nice bar, and the toilets are well kept and clean. The food was really good. No complaints there. The service was mediocre at best with our food arriving in stages and missing one order, and no real apology from any of the staff. Once again the food was tops. So all I all a solid 4/5

Such a refreshing experience! Great pub, lovely location, amazing food! Fajitas were extremely good! If you have a doubt to drive the long way, this is your sign, yes, go there, worth it! 👌🏻

We would like to thank Dan, Trinity and the team for creating a great experience from start to finish for our staff night out..They really went above and beyond..we will be back soon..thank you so much Cosgroves cafe

A gorgeous pub on the Creek. Myself, the hubster and our friends went for our 2nd lunch together today. The friends had ribs, which looked amazing! Hubster had the classic beef burger and I has the grilled chicken caesar burger. Everyone enjoyed, but personally I lived the chicken burger. Chips are skin on chips which were really nice and ever so slightly salted. Staff were attentive, but not in your face. A lovely place for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely food and lovely service. We were in there today with our baby and staff were amazing. So attentive. They helped us get the baby in the high chair as we had no idea what we were doing. They gave her a snack and were really great when she got upset for milk. They were adamant that we didn’t have to clear up the food she dropped - but I will always clean up after her! All in all a wonderful family brunch trip - often people can be negative towards young babies when we go for food but you guys were great. Thank you again. We will definitely be back for a roast too - because that looked amazing!

Delicious tuna salad ! Generous portions with some juicy olives, light coleslaw and red onion. Always such good friendly service. And their coffee is the best in the town! . I often grab a cappuccino on my way to work and I always choose Moonlight over other cafes for my early morning pick up. Fab cafe !

This place is our go to, and it should be yours if you’re in the area! The staff are wonderful, the chefs are faultless and the food is amazing! The prices are fair and if your kids are good they might just get a lolly when you pay 🍭 I have been going here for as many years as I can remember, and I’ve never had anything less than a perfect experience. Get yourself down there, you can thank me later

Lovely little cafe , unfortunately they weren’t serving food as it was late-ish for them but the staff were really nice. The coffee the lovely lady made was perfect and rather surprising the milk they used agreed completely with me. Generally it has an after taste, but this one was pretty unique. It’s a clean, charming place too. Looks rather reasonable in price too.

Visiting the area with my wife and adult daughter, as soon as we walked in we felt welcomed. Lovely atmosphere, smiling friendly staff and our dog was welcomed too. Had dinner here and again the staff were attentive and the food was delicious. Drinks in the bar afterwards and had a lovely chat with the landlords and manager. Will definitely be back and will stay in the pub next time. Highly recommended.

Stayed one night for a trip to Faversham. Super friendly service, fantastic food and drink. The pub and rooms have been recently renovated to a very high standard. Very dog friendly. Special mention to the Full English- best I've had in years.

A last minute night away to celebrate our wedding anniversary, wonderful, what a great find! Welcoming, friendly, cosy, hugely dog friendly pub. Great food & accommodation. We will definitely be back. Had a wonderful time. Thankyou Jo,Clive & Bella Tickner

We absolutely loved this unique and very special pub/restaurant/ hotel. We stayed one night, it was spotless, comfortable and excellent value. The food was obviously cooked in the pubs kitchen from locally supplied meat, breakfast was as good as dinner. Staff were very attentive and discreet ( nice touch ) Overall we had a fantastic stay at the White Horse. Thank you all particularly Rebecca!

We celebrated my Dad's 80th birthday at the Phoenix last night and were very glad that we did. Definitely a contender for the best food in Faversham against some strong competition. My Mum raved about the pork with kale which she said was the best she'd had in years. Soup, fish pies and fish and chips were also top quality and thoroughly enjoyed. And the atmosphere, friendly service and overall experience made it a perfect evening and a very happy birthday for my Dad.

We went for lunch on our wedding anniversary, food and service were excellent, pub was quiet at lunchtime, but I feel the service would be the same if busy or not. We were made so welcome and a lovely little touch of a card and an extra dish after our meal. Highly recommended.

The staff was very tolerant of our group of noisy ladies enjoying our annual gals weekend. The menu has a great choice to cover all palates and they cater for gluten free also. Really good cocktail menu and wine list. The food was outstanding and the staff were so friendly....we will be back!!

The quality of the food was genuinely exceptional. The place deserved to be much busier than it was. We had the beef rump and sea bass - both worthy of a top-notch restaurant. Dark chocolate delice for dessert was beautifully rich and, again, superb. Surprisingly great all round

Myself and 2 friends popped in on the way home from Canterbury. We were greeted by a lovely lady who found us seating in the bar area. We were given menus to browse at our leisure. We ordered from the bar and nothing was too much trouble. Two of us had the best fish and chips we’ve ever had at a restaurant, crispy batter and beautiful chips. Our friend who is vegetarian was well catered for and has a beautiful cheese and potato pie served over mash potato. We were just sorry we didn’t have room left for pudding! The toilets were immaculate and we have already planned to visit again and have recommended the gunpowder mill to our friends. Thank you for an incredible experience!!

NEW MENU ! Absolutely gorgeous. Well all really enjoyed our meal -family of 4 3 ordered from new food that was added and it was so good, cooked to perfection. All plates clean, now that’s a brilliant sign, will definitely recommend and go again without hesitation. Staff were very attentive and friendly, nice atmosphere perfect. 10/10 well done

I had a lovely meal at this restaurant for my birthday. The food and cocktails were great, and the staff were so friendly and went through the menu with us. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was very cosy. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying at the Cave Hotel.

As someone who has had some of the best BBQ in America, finding a decent place for BBQ in UK is a challenge. Korean Cowgirl did not disappoint with the BBQ platter. I would have to disagree with Nick below and say if you are going, definitely get it, so you try as much as possible whilst you are there. I will agree that the wings were the star of the show. We went for the soy and garlic wings which were amazing. We did also have the chicken gyoza's, chocolate brownie and the Biscoff and Nutella donut. All the food was great. My only issue was with the service. It seemed we didn't have a dedicated waiter/waitress and it was very difficult to get anyone's attention when we did want/need something. We also had to ask for the bill twice as the first time when we asked for it be charged to the room (we were staying in the hotel next door) they sent it without us checking and signing for it so asked for it again to check. I would definitely go back if I am ever this way again.

If you love smoke house BBQ food then you have to pay a visit to the Korean Cowgirl. Four of us went for the ludicrous BBQ board and each style of meat was amazing. Go you won’t be disappointed.

Visited the Cave for my birthday and came here for a late lunch. We ordered the BBQ Smokehouse board for 2, it was £70 - some things on the board were delicious however some were very underwhelming. The service was lovely and the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing. Not bad overall just lacked value.

Possibly the best restaurant I've been too. Everything was excellent from the food to the service. The staff were as good as the food and I am very impressed
