The Hop And Huffkin

➤ 10 New Street, Dover, United Kingdom

Steak • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"Another lovely find in Sandwich! My wife and I dropped in for a meal and received a friendly welcome and were seated quickly. Menus were perused and choices made whilst our drinks made their way out to us. My wife's coffee was sublime and my cider choice was perfect. Our food arrived promptly (a pork belly burger and a cheeseburger) and was far better looking than my photos show. More importantly it tasted magnificent! Really good quality food in a generous portion. The staff were attentive but not over bearing which made us feel cared for and not harassed. We both decided on pudding although we were stuffed from the main course. My wife had the poached pear and I had the sticky toffee pudding. Again, it was served promptly and was sublime! We had a wonderful time here and would recommend it to all. Well done the hop huffkin"

The Griffin's Head

➤ Griffin Hill, Dover, United Kingdom

Soup • Steak • Coffee • Chicken

"Ive been to this pub many times over the years and have enjoyed the setting and the gardens so booked for Sunday lunch. The staff were pleasant and helpful even though the venue was fully booked however the food was mixed at best. The Bruschetta with asparagus, broad beans and feta looked fresh and inviting but the bread was neither grilled with olive oil or toasted and there was no dressing to add flavour. The calamari dressing was ok but the the calamari was barely coated and tough. The pork belly was delicious, and the crackling was superb however the roast potatoes had a think hard layer and tasted of old oil, the veg was ok but the broccoli was very much over done. The fish of the day was halibut which was a little overcooked and the mash was overworked and unseasoned. It was served with samphire which wasn't mentioned so it was a nice surprise and was very tasty with buttery soft leeks. The menu sounds really nice but the execution was just poor which was a real shame. It looks recently refurbished, it's a nice job, however the chairs are too low for the tables leaving the plates at chest height which made eating really strange. I'll visit again as I like the venue but I'm not sure I'll eat there until I see some better reviews...and just to reiterate the staff were very helpful."

Kearsney Abbey Tea Room

➤ Alkham Road, Dover, United Kingdom, CT16 3EG

Tea • Coffee • British • Breakfast

"Went here yesterday ...just wanted a sandwich to take away. Wasn't even busy and after I paid for our 2 tuna baguettes £7.20 I might add) I then got told it's a half an hour wait . 1. I should have been told that before I had paid 2. What the hell it's a baguette and tuna it's not exactly hard. If you are expecting any kind of busy day things should be prepped. I wouldn't have minded but there was 6 people ahead of me and they all only had panini's not exactly 5* food coming out to warrant the wait. At least 4 people working so think you seriously need to look at your speed of service and your preparation. Was nice what we had but for the money and wait would not have food from there again unless I have loads of time"

The Five Bells

➤ The Cross, Lower Street, CT13 0HX, Dover, United Kingdom

Pubs • Full • Lunch • British

"We recently visited the Five Bells for the first time and it seems we have stumbled upon another quality pub in Kent. Despite making a last-minute booking, they were able to accommodate us without any issue. Due to us bringing our dog along, we were seated in the bar area, which was bustling with activity. However, the staff were attentive and the service was excellent. Three of us opted for the Sunday Roast, which received unanimous approval. While the Yorkshire Puddings were a bit disappointing, the cauliflower cheese was delicious and the roast beef was very tasty. The meal was accompanied by a generous serving of vegetables. It was evident that the team is doing something right as the bar was filled with regular patrons. Additionally, the pricing at the Five Bells was very reasonable. Whether you are a local or just visiting the area, we highly recommend this establishment."

Ramada Dover

➤ Singledge Ln Dover, Kent CT16 3EL, CT16 3LG, United Kingdom

Steak • Hotels • British • Barbecue

"We had planned to have our pre-Christmas meal at this restaurant since we were alone this year. Unfortunately, there was no special Christmas menu available and the tables set for the evening had crackers and party hats, but we did not receive any. We were disappointed with the lack of festive atmosphere and will not be returning."

Olive Tree

➤ Singledge Ln, Dover, United Kingdom

Soup • Meat • Buffet • British

"I have read and heard many good recommendations to try the Ramada for sunday lunch. Unfortunately it did not meet expectations. The best part of the meal was the staff friendly and attentive. There was a good selection of starters and plentiful amounts but it then went down from there. Our main course vegetables were overcooked and the beef that two of our party selected was very dry and again overcooked. The desserts although many in choice, were all far too sweet and both the jelly and vanilla mousse ? lacked any flavour."

The Cliffe at The White Cliffs Hotel

➤ High Street St Margarets at Cliffe Dover, Kent CT15 6AT, United Kingdom

Pizza • Casual • Cheese • British

"You are unable to sit at your table and order food from a menu. Instead you have to stare at a large blackboard then order at the bar so if you ask for a description of what something is don't fancy it, you then have to go back to the board again. I had the Kentish Blue Salad which sounded very nice. It was actually a bit strange. Both hot cold lettuce with crumb sized bits of blue cheese walnut, but as well as mixing hot cold lettuce (this should never happen) there were also 2 quartered pieces of very crisp apple but this too was hot as it been put on a griddle but still as crisp as an uncooked Granny Smith. My husband had pork fritters. Fritters are defined as slices covered in batter. What actually turned up were pea sized bits of pork deep fried in batter, so more like croutons really then only about 6 on the plate. We both had crab with a breadcrumb topping. The crab was all dark meat it ended up being quite sickly. It was also the temperature of molten lava I had to empty it out of it's dish onto the plate to try to cool it down a bit. Overall the service from the waitress was great but the rest of it was pretty awful. The food combinations were awful, it didn't taste very nice it was well overpriced. What was even more disappointing, was the website looks fantastic but none of the menus on the website were available just a pretty lack lustre blackboard choice. A classic case of trying too hard to be a bit different but going way over the edge."

Coastguard

➤ Dover, United Kingdom

Pubs • Grill • Burgers • Sandwiches

"Great view overlooking the water, adjacent to the famous white cliffs of Dover. Great place to grab a bite while looking out over the water, then take a stroll along the water and see the cliffs. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean. It 's divided inside, sort of like an old house. They have outside seating for good weather days. Their coastguard burger was good; nothing special, just a good burger. As for their fish and chips, the fish was really good; light flakey with minimal grease. Chips were average thick cut fries; nothing special there. Mushy peas, which they called crushed peas , are about what they sound like smooshed English peas, which is what they tasted like. Again, nothing special. The purple coleslaw was good; nice flavor. They use purple cabbage, which gives it the unique color, but seems fairly common in England."

Jerk N' Tingz

➤ 29A London Road, Dover I-CT17 0SS, United Kingdom

Drinks • Cheese • Jamaican • Caribbean

"I had just dinner here and was really impressed. it's nice to have something else here in dover and I really hope this place surrounds. had to start the cod frit and the sauce was super delicious! jerk chicken wrap for net, all meat is cooked to a middle heat, so I got a little top from home made chili sauce, which really had a blow whisper was a lemon drizzle with around and rosin egg that had some nice big chew pieces. the pineapple cooler was also delicious. the food was great and quickly came out. the service was friendly and friendly. clean clean space comfortable seating. the one that really impressed me was the eco-friendship of the place. the tassen are compostable, the plates and bowls were all kartons and the cutlery was wood (except spoon). so they also do their little bit for the environment! well worth the visit, some can think on the expensive side, but open to good quality crafted food. I'm happy to pay! thanks for a nice dinner!"

Kong Sing Chinese Takeaway

➤ 242 Folkestone Road, CT17 9BH, Dover, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Chinese

"Have visited twice since new owners took over, but have experienced no problems as others seem to have. Staff do not seem as friendly as the previous staff, but then again we had seen the front of house staff grow up there. Food? Well my son does not rate the chicken curry which he previously loved. However all of the other dishes we have had since takeover have been good. Sesame Prawn Toast is second only to The Moonflower's in my opinion. Lemon Chicken was very good, Roast Pork Chinese Style is acceptable, fried rice dishes have been very good but the standout dish, not on the menu but a notice on the counter is Salt and Pepper Squid, delicious."

Buffer's Coffee Shop Snack

➤ 13A Priory Gate Road, Dover, United Kingdom, CT17 9SA

Cafés • Coffee • British • Desserts

"This is a nice little sandwich shop that serves delicious bacon sandwiches and amazing coffee. The space is very small with no seating, so it's mostly for takeout. Hopefully they will have outdoor seating in the future. The food is tasty and the service from the friendly and pleasant lady was great. I would recommend checking it out."

Waterfront Restaurant

➤ Dover Waterfront Waterloo Crescent Dover, Kent CT17 9BP, CT17 9BT, United Kingdom

Bars • Pizza • Cafés • British

"We have now enjoyed a Sunday lunch, which was really good quality food, in a lively setting, we even had background music! Only slight criticism was the tables were a bit close to each other but we were a party of 10, the que for food was also a bit disconcerting as there was a constant flow of people brushing against our seats. The two occasions we have had afternoon tea we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The first time we were given a cup of coffee the second time we were given a pot and were told we could ask for a refill. We have also been to a themed night {Indian} the food was to the normal high standard but again we felt hemmed in and due to our table position were unable to see the dancers, who did not perform for very long. Overall really good food but a bit crowded for Sunday lunch and themed nights."

Marquis

➤ Alkham Valley Rd, Alkham CT15 7DF, Dover, United Kingdom

Hotels • British • Dessert • Vegetarian

"Food was excellent, as always, both for myself and my partner (who is vegetarian). Beautifully cooked, fine dining, interesting dishes that certainly feel 'special ' and justify the price tag which is reassuringly expensive without being over-priced. The service really let the Marquis down on this occasion. We had booked night before we arrived via Open Table, got confirmation reminder, etc and yet when we arrived there was no note of our booking at the desk. Fortunately they had a table for 2, which is perhaps unusual for saturday night , so we did get to eat. Service was very pleasant but a bit chaotic, eg had to ask for bread after starters had been started, and then chase dessert when it didnt arrive for 20 min. The latter was exacerbated by the table next door being delivered their dessert within 1 min of ordering (after they had also moaned a little about being overlooked for a while), even though we had ordered the same dessert 15 min earlier (which arrived 5 min later)! Again the waiter was really, really, really apologetic, and if it had been a standard gastro-pub then i wouldnt even be mentioning this here, but as the service is part of the overall experience you are paying for with fine dining it took the edge off what was otherwise a really nice meal."

Royal Oak

➤ 36 Lower Road RiverKent CT17 0QU, Dover, United Kingdom

Tea • Pubs • Fish • Beer

"Tried the Oak as recommended by a friend. Sunday lunch menu, limited but enough to please most people. Food was presented well and was of a good standard. Plenty of vegetables to go with the main course. Was a little quiet and etmisphere a little lacking, but hopefully the trade will pick up and a buzz will be in the air.. overall I would say it was a good experience"
