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.

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 😊

🤩 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!

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

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.

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 😊
Rating: 5 / 5
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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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!

My husband and I visited Folkestone for a mini break and came to Mocka for breakfast. We'd seen good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Spectacular! The breakfasts were beautifully presented and of high quality. We'd recommend this place highly. Wishing the owners a lot of success in your venture.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice looking restaurant. The savoury part of the waffle 🧇 is a bit bland, but I like the combo of savoury and sweet in one plate. The burger is good. One of the friends ordered the sandwich which seems to be the best. :)

We visited here after looking around town for somewhere to have dessert. We really lucked out. The place is newly decorated and is really cute. The passion fruit and mango chiller was delicious and our desserts not only looked good but were delicious! The service was perfect and we really loved the music which set a nice chilled vibe. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Wow! What a wonderful first experience we had! 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 small. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Meze was AMAZING and great value. Service was top class, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We went for a special occasion and felt we were really treated as such. Thank you for making my 45th birthday memorable for all of us. Oh and the Cherry crush cocktail, LUSH. Only 1 photo as we were too busy having a great time.

We booked a table for the 3 course £19.95 lunchtime menu after reading many positive reviews and we are so glad that we did. We had Brie and tempura prawns to start followed by liver with bacon and moussaka, finishing with chocolate fondue and biscoff cheesecake. Everything that we had was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The wine was well chilled and reasonably priced. All the staff were efficient and friendly and the service was attentive but not intrusive, just as it should be. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We celebrated our Nans 90th birthday here today and the food and the service was first class . All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There was no waiting for our starters or main meals or desserts they all come out together which was great service. All our food was very tasteful and my wife and myself will certainly return for a meal there .

Visited today in beautiful sunshine! Sat outside enjoying the warmth and the staggering view! Great coffee, fairly basic menu, but good. Owner and staff very friendly. Plenty of space inside if the weather is worse than today! Google Maps listing for the cafe has the wrong postcode! Should be CT19 6PS (Swiss Way, off Wear Bay Road, Folkestone ) not CT20 1AE.

It was very tasty 🤤 My steak tasted amazing 🤩 I have eaten this many times in different establishments, but in your establishment it was 10/10 Thank you ☺️
Rating: 4 / 5
A lovely discovery day 1 but day 2 not so good. I had breakfast and the food was cooked beautifully and with quality ingredients. Further, the kitchen amended the standard menu listing to what I wanted. Comfortable surrounds . Pleasant staff with largely good and speedy service. Given the table call buttons and waiting on service the 'welcome desk' is somewhat formal and unnecessary . Not the cheapest but I think with the positive experience largely appropriate ... It means it's a now and again treat rather than more regular. I will definitely be returning here. I did return the next day as it happened given I was so pleased. Alas the same breakfast was one poached egg and one tomato less than the day before. The manager did bring a second egg but was very reluctant and was abrasive rather than apologetic, suggesting I'd ordered extra the day before . Hopefully a one off blip as the food was again good and not a weights and measures issue. He then tried to charge me for the 2nd egg but finally gave in to just charging 30 p more for a one tomato less meal than yesterday ! I think they need to get their act together here as they turned a delighted returning customer into one that would consider twice about going a further time. My initial five stars across the board have been revised down.

Have been several times now for breakfast. Food was delicious and well presented. So far, there isn't anything on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Staff has always been nice and friendly. The time to wait for food was less than what I expected, granted, I missed the peak times. The restaurant itself is clean and has a nice style that sets it apart from the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

Very nice what they have done with this historical place. For the second time here to eat as a conclusion of our UK trip. Show that English cuisine is more than fish and chips. Smooth and charming service.
Rating: 4 / 5
Popped in for a drink and to watch live music. Although it's small, it's a good use of the space and you can hear the music loud and clear wherever you are inside. The price of the drinks can be a bit much I thought, three drinks costing just over £30. £12 for each 125m glass. That being said, the drinks were very nice, I just couldn't justify buying a second round.
Rating: 5 / 5
Booked one of their Fri eve specials, 3 courses, glass of wine and a live band for £29.50! Need to book, and send menu options the day before. Friend has allergies, so called up and needed an alternative main meal. We were well looked after, lovely atmosphere.

Shesells Seashells
Harbour Approach Rd, Folkestone CT20 1QH, UK | Restaurant P: Not available
Rating: 4.6 (77) Price Level:
A friend recommended Shesells Seashells so we went. We didn’t book which wasn’t an issue as there’s plenty of outside seating. We ordered the hot seafood sharing platter. It was outstanding, more than enough for two, We ploughed our way though it, mussels, Calamari, squid, scampi and the biggest crevettes Pius Mac m cheese, fries and two large chuncks of bread. Perfectly cooked and nice and hot. The service was spot on, attentive but not in your face. Our waitress pop over several times To make sure we were ok and if we needed anything else. I’d advise to book if you want to guarantee a table inside. We sat outside, with a lovely view of the harbour and the sands. It was a bit windy but we were given blankets just in case we got cold. We’ll be going back again and again until we’ve gone through the whole menu

Fell in love with this restaurant from the very first bite! Its selection of seafood is simply mesmerizing – every piece was amazingly fresh and flavorful. The waitstaff were not only very polite but also experts in their craft, which added a special charm to our evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant is simply magical – it evokes feelings of coziness and luxury. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who values true quality and unforgettable experiences!
Rating: 5 / 5
Superb!! Stumbled on this whilst strolling on the Harbour front- behind the modest exterior, SheSells Seashells is a gem of a find. Had the Thai style and they were the tastiest mussels I have ever had, packed with flavour. Washed it down with a local Kent ale. Would highly recommend a day trip from London for this place, for a meal that's better than most re mussels, and half the price - the chef is a genius with flavours, friendly service and a lovely setting on a sunny evening....perfect!

Lovely, friendly service! Perfect location with a good menu selection. Menu items were a little pricier but you are paying for the convenience of location and great service. The hot chocolates and lattes looked amazing! I opted for a mocha, but wish I had chosen one of those as they were cheaper and looked delicious!

Popped in very early so was empty, had a decent cappuccino and plumped for the Eggs Benedict, was not disappointed. Good portion size and tasted fantastic. Recommended. Good value for breakfast don't forget they accept cards but prefer cash if possible.

Nice clean cafe, polite staff. They’re very generous with the cheese on the jacket potatoes which I loved and a really decent tasting and styled salad. A little pricey for a jacket though to be honest.

Fantastic English breakfast & latte, parking was free for up to 2 hours directly outside (if you manage to get a space), plus prices seem reasonable too. It was the perfect stop off for 4 cold bikers on a December bike ride. We will be back (when it gets a bit warmer 🥶)
