    Great food. We had oysters to start and then 2 of us shared the Turbot and the other had the Cod (both beautifully cooked). Cheeseboard was good and the Tiramisu and the Strawberry custard (which was overly sweet). They had sold out of the Monkfish by the time we had arrived and the desert we fancied. Also seasonal vegetables with the Turbot was just Samphire.

    It is a must do once in a lifetime when visiting Folkstone. When the weather permits, best to sit outside, otherwise inside window seated. Averagely, a higher level compared to other restaurants. Definetely not to compare with the typical pub food, restaurant level, very good quality and very tasteful.

    Beautiful day the mussels for starters were delicious and a good size the Lamb with all the trimming again really good. I'm afraid we couldn't manage desert. And a nice bottle of wine. Most enjoyable lunch.

    We had a 12 noon booking on a Sunday. Had one of the best bloody Mary's that I've tasted on the deck upstairs then went down to our table. Met by a most welcoming hostess. The variety of food on selection on this Sunday was quite vast which made for a tricky decision as I hate food envy. However all the served dishes were delicious and fulfilling.

    It was a beautiful place to enjoy a Sunday morning walk and then stop for breakfast with a view of the sea. It was a bright and sunny day so made the experience even better and we were a little early and letting us know where out food was but we were really willing to wait with how pleasant the restaurant was. The breakfast and pancakes were first class and you could tell it was all so fresh and local produce. Will definitely go back and visit again

    The food was very nice and extended expectations. The service was slow at times, we had to ask three times for the bill, waiting an hour to pay. In this time we saw two other tables ask and get theirs straight away.
