"I recently went to Cin Cin for their bottomless brunch with friends for the second time, and once again it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, the drinks kept flowing, and the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit. Price per person is £30-40, and I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5."

"The Sicilian is a handy, family-run restaurant in the seaside town of Deal (Kent) offering delicious food, cheaper eats, from snacks to meals, and some of the best and reasonably priced wine in town. Located just off the High Street, the Restaurant is small (bijou), with additional seating outside for your morning coffee or one of their home-made ices. I dine here once a month, for lunch with friends. We usually each opt for the simple range of Panini to Antipasti Pasta and (collectively) a bottle of their local (Sicilian) wine. Time permitting (priorities) perhaps we’d start with a shared plate of ‘antipasto misto’, cured meats or cheeses, not to forget ‘pane e olive’, a trusted and fine accompaniment to the wine. I have always felt that the judge of a good restaurant is the soup, and have never been disappointed, but various pastas are on offer, the ‘Cannelloni Ricotta a Spinaci’ delighted my friend, the ‘Lasagne’ was among the best I have ever sampled. The baked aubergine with tomato and mozzarella ‘Parmigiana’ is another favourite. There is also a selection of pizza to suite many diverse tastes. Although we have often commented on the lovely deserts and pastries on display, we have yet to take the plunge, but ‘watch this space’ The service is friendly, we feel at home, loving the mix of authentic tastes. At the weekend The Sicilian offers evening dining, the ‘specials’ board giving an extended view of this cuisine from southern Italy."

"Booked an early curry (7.30pm) for myself and 2 friends. Restaurant decoration was good. Ambience was peaceful and not too noisy. We had poppadoms and a couple of drinks as starters and then had a main course each with three side dishes and a keema naan to share between us. The food was good and service was reasonably prompt. We enjoyed the evening and the food was good value and not overly expensive. The only negative part of the experience was the rather stern manner of one of the staff which didn't feel particularly welcoming. Having said that, everyone was perfectly polite and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again. The central location made it very accessible and easy to reach."

"I made a reservation online and received confirmation via email. On the day of our reservation, myself and my friends arrived at the restaurant only to be told they were fully booked. Despite showing my confirmation, the staff informed me that they had only been open for 2 weeks and were not online. After speaking with the manager, we were eventually seated at a table (despite many empty tables available). We waited an hour for our food to arrive and had to request cutlery and napkins as they were not provided. While waiting, a large table who were also waiting for their food ended up leaving. Overall, I will not be returning to this restaurant anytime soon."

"Located on a quiet side street in the historic town of Sandwich, this charming old pub is a delightful spot to enjoy a meal or drinks with friends. The front bar area has a low ceiling supported by exposed wood timbers, giving it a cozy atmosphere. The walls are made of exposed flint concrete, adding to the rustic feel. The rear dining area is newer and offers views of the small outdoor patio. The menu features a small selection of game dishes, with the duck from the lunch menu receiving high praise. The food is well-prepared and presented, making it a great choice for a casual meal with friends or a business lunch. While Sandwich may not be a well-known destination, taking the time to visit this pub is definitely worth it if you find yourself in the area."

"we visited this month after the jackdaw. it was welcoming and excellent service. we belong to britstops that advertises the jackdaw for residential property to stay overnight. this gives an additional advantage to have a meal with a drink as not to drive. after the meal just go over the parking lot. the pub is also well located to stay overnight before we go to lydden circuit, where we also for crossing the canal as close to naval and other medium of crossing. because of the holding ups we were a little late for our booked table, but still greeted with a smile and did not tell any effort that our meal with friends even more pleasant than we felt restless to foot in the pub late."

"If you are looking for a pub near Kingsdown beach, one that serves great food, by friendly staff, then this is the place for you. I booked a table for two for a couple of my guests that were celebrating their wedding anniversary. It was a short notice booking. From the moment the phone was answered, I knew it had been the right decision. Such welcoming staff and great food. The chef, Jake, cooked amazing homemade burgers and also scampi. Cooked to perfection. My guests couldn't speak highly enough. The service, by Mia, was friendly and welcoming. She made sure they were greeted warmly and congratulated them on their anniversary. I cannot fault anything. With gardens outside and a lovely English pub atmosphere, this place caters for families and large parties, as well as couples just stopping for a drink. Highly recommended! Thank you Mia and Jake."

"We hadn't dined at this restaurant since COVID, but we returned with our family for Sunday lunch. The service and food were outstanding, with a great selection on the menu, generous portions, and reasonable prices. We were pleased to have found a new favorite spot to eat, especially after many local establishments have closed recently. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning."

"Recently visited the Kings Head and had a great meal. The service and quality of food provided was excellent. Friendly and accommodating to us, whilst giving us time to enjoy the food that was provided. Quick in responding to the request to book a table at the start of the experience, but no rush during the meal so was able to enjoy the cosy and comfortable surroundings of the Kings Head. Great staff and definitely value for money in terms of menu on offer."

"We walked in sat at the bar area, no one was around, we thought it might be closed. We investigated further yes they were open but staff were not attentive or very welcoming, more of an intrusion, this should have set alarm bells ringing! We were seated next to a full table of around 20 yet the whole place was empty?! No Kent gin but hey! Scotch egg was good, couldn 't have the prawns because they were marinated with chorizo ?! so had the prawn cocktail, disappointing, no flavour to the sauce very few prawns. Burger was OK but chips soggy the plaice was disgusting, swimming in oil so overcooked for such a delicate fish. The potatoes which were advertised as crispy were a soggy mess, absolutely foul. We were asked how everything was I pointed out the potatoes, the waitress agreed asked if I 'd like an alternative, just some boiled new potatoes, no problem. What arrived was old new potatoes they were microwaved, equally horrible. Staff didn 't know how to deal with a genuine complaint they didn 't offer anything, needless to say we did not pay the ridiculous service charge . Would not return."

"Chose as a Birthday celebration for two. Hit the mark on every level of taste,quality, service,price, atmosphere. Partner raved over every course in the Nose to Tail menu. I finally appreciated Truffle Garlic in the Egg Mousse and Garlic almond Soup. Our bottle of Champagne was placed in an ice bucket and our bottle of red lasted perfectly with the meal. Marvelous setting for a meal for two (We were in Green Room) or for a party in larger rooms. The organisation of the whole evening was impeccable from arrival and departure for a full house with dishes arriving and clearing smoothly. I hope to return later in the year with a small party. They can be very proud of this establishment and can thoroughly recommend and hope they never expand and keep it soooo unique."

"We just moved to the area and had a couple of nice evening meals so booked to bring my daughter who had just had a baby for lunch. The price was the same as the evening and the food was terrible, my daughter always has spaghetti Bolognese as she says its best in an Italian restaurant. She gave me a bit to taste and it seemed like it had been cooked several times before. The pesto pasta with pine nuts I had was tasteless and no nice toasted pine nuts on top, in fact I couldn’t see any at all, it was very disappointing after I had told my daughter and partner how good it was. They had made an effort with decorating the table and the people are lovely but I think I probably won’t go back."

"The last time I reviewed this restaurant was in 2016 and we have since eaten many meals here and frequently recommended it. However, today for the first time we were a disappointed. Maybe we chose the wrong items... My husband wanted the mackerel starter but unfortunately there wasn't any left so he was offered blanchbait instead, which he enjoyed. He followed up with calamari but found them rubbery and tasteless. I usually have the pork belly and crackling but today I fancied roast beef with all the trimmings, including a gluten-free Yorkshire pudding. The roast potatoes were crunchy and delicious and there was lots of gravy. But the beef, although a generous serving, did not meet the expectations I had, based on the lovely pork belly. Was it precooked and reheated? I don't know, but I know some restsurants do that. In my opinion the best gluten-free Yorkshires come from Sainsbury's. The one served here turned very hard within minutes of being put on my plate and I couldn't eat it. The vegetables, a good selection, were probably cooked to the satisfaction of a lot of customers (crunchy) but for me they could have done with a little longer. This is not the first time a roast dinner has disappointed me. I think I shall have to give up expecting them to be cooked the way they always used to be and order some thing else. We didn't have a dessert. Top marks for the staff though ; friendly, pleasant and helpful."

"I understand that the staff were doing their best, but considering we paid full price despite a shortage of staff, I have to give this restaurant a rating of 3. We were informed that the restaurant has changed ownership since our last visit, when we had a great meal. Unfortunately, this time the roast beef was tough and extremely rare. Our dog seemed to enjoy it though. The french beans were undercooked, far from being 'al dente'. We had to use our own tissues as there were no napkins on the table, and none were offered to us. The Lemon and Lime cheesecake I ordered was bland, so much so that I had my husband taste it to confirm. It was difficult to identify the topping. We were also surprised by the price of a pint of beer when we received the bill, as there were no drink prices displayed in the bar."

"Sixteen years ago, I first tried fish and chips after arriving in the Uk. I recently revisited this iconic dish at a family-run business in Deal with my Family, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, with a crispy golden batter that was simply divine. The chips were just right—crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. What made this meal truly special was not just the delicious food but also the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the establishment. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. It’s clear that this is a place where quality and care are priorities, and it shows in every bite. This was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be coming back. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a meal that not only satisfies but also leaves a lasting impression. This family-run business is a gem that deserves to be celebrated."

"My breakfast at Chaplin's Restaurant in Dover was amazing. The regular breakfast was excellent, with just the right portion sizes that left me feeling completely satisfied. The black coffee was delicious and paired perfectly with the meal. The standout of the experience was the fantastic service from the chef, who made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a fantastic start to their day!"
