About the restaurant

Opened in 2018 by local couple Mark & Charly, Marleys is a neighbourhood favourite rooted in fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. What began as a cosy café-restaurant has evolved into something a little more special — a place where elevated casual dining meets warm, down-to-earth hospitality.

By day, we serve relaxed walk-in breakfast and lunch with a focus on comforting British flavours and thoughtful touches. By night, Marleys transforms into a more intimate and romantic setting, offering a refined yet welcoming dinner experience with a carefully curated menu and a touch of elegance.

Whether you’re joining us for a laid-back brunch or an evening out, you’ll find heartfelt food, a passionate team, and an atmosphere that feels both familiar and beautifully unexpected.

Dinner reservations are available in the evenings, while breakfast and lunch remain walk-in only.

Marleys never ceases to provide excellent service and fantastic food. I went on this occasion for a date and the ambience was lovely, the food excellent and the staff were the perfect balance of attentive but respectful of our conversation. We both had the pork belly main (honestly the best thing you can eat in the whole of Folkestone IMO) and my date who hasn’t been to Marleys before was impressed and said he could see why Marleys is my favourite and why I recommended the pork belly. Thank you as always Team Marleys, you rock.
