They used to sell gresh bread, cakes and pasties as well as having a acfe but now they are mainly a cafe/coffee shop. I find the pasties and slices to be the best value and quality. The baquettes are very expensive and not always very fresh. The drinks are extremly expensive. There tables and chairs are all comfy and they have a few good quality high chairs availiable. The toilet facilities have been refurbished too though they are still way out the back of the shop. They have also added a few tables and chairs outside as well as a small outside area out the back. The staff are friendly and they keep the busy queue moving very well. Generally I enjoy eating here with my son as there are plenty of suitable choices for him as well as high choirs for him to sit in. My only critisicm of this shop is that at the end of the day I often see them throeing large amounts of food into black bin bags. I just find this very sad and wasteful when there are plenty of shelters that would accept the food.

Quick-serve diner, w above-average food…read more Small family run cafe, with a limited menu of basic items done right. If you want fancy or exotic food, keep walking. If you want basic quality at a fair price, stop here. The fish & chips were top-of-the curve; dry and crispy, not greasy. The chicken & chips had roasted chicken with flavor-packed gravy reminiscent of a chicken pot-pie (in a really good way)! Dessert was apple-pie, baked like a strudel. Interesting and odd, but good. Soft drinks, tea, coffee, cider, ale & beer. Nothing crazy. Eat here when you are hungry for real food.

Our tour guide had called in our lunch orders before our arrival. We had a choice of four entrees...fish and chips, roasted chicken and chips, meat pie or a jacketed potato. Dessert included. I had the meat pie. Delicious. My other half and a friend of ours both had the fish and chips, which they both enjoyed. Apple pie with a dash of whipped cream and coffee rounded it out. We each had a beer or wine and the total bill of 51.10 pounds seemed reasonable.

The shop stocks lots of very fresh local produce (ducks' eggs, meat, cheese, bread, veg). It also has a great selection of dry products such as whole home made cakes you could easily pretend were your own creation, a fantastic selection of crackers for cheese in every flavour (the crackers, not the cheese!) and interesting jams, chocolates etc. At the back there is a 'Cook' section, from the popular high end ready meal people. My best find so far has been the beer sausages, which were hands down, the best sausages I have ever tasted! The coffee there is superb, even though they don't offer skimmed milk! They sell home made cakes by the slice and it's all very fresh and seems extremely clean. If you're passing, or in Rye or Camber, it is well worth a visit. Last time I was there, there was a 1931 Morris Ten parked in the car park, and the owner was very happy to show my father around it, which made his day. I can't guarantee that will happen when you visit, but they seemed like regulars, and it's just that sort of place.

The prices are also good and the food is always fresh. The atmosphere is very nice, it is small so there is never too many people around. They have a selection of newspapers and other things to read which is always welcome when you are waiting for your food to be made (they make the food to order). They also do nice coffee and other hot and cold drinks. I think this is one of the lesser known places to get some lunch in Folkestone but it is perfect for a picnic for the beach during the summer.

All food is made as you wait, so you know it's fresh. The staff are very friendly and they even make an effort to clean up the street outside.

Let me start by saying - these pastys are amazing!…read more So I don't live near Ashford and don't get to have these pastys that often, but when I know I'm heading in that direction its my first though for lunch. I actually didn't have my own pasty for the longest time. My boyfriend started ordering one pasty, which quickly changed to two pastys and I would just nibble the crusts. My nibbling of the crusts progressed to actual bites until he could share no more and I had to order my own...! I have tried a few different ones but my top three are; 1. Bacon, leaks and cheese. 2. Pork and apple. 3. Cheese. They also do the traditional pasty and others such as curry vegetables, Thai chicken and a special each month. Because there is such a turn over, they always seem to be freshly cooked. Which means they have to be eaten slowly otherwise its really easy to burn your mouth. Luckily my boyfriend doesn't like the crusts as much as me, so I get my pasty and his crusts! Driving away the other day I said how cool it would be to buy them frozen and cook at home. I quickly corrected myself - yes it would be cool, but they wouldn't last the night!

It's got lots of chairs and tables, and is a little more café-like than most fast-food or takeaway spot. They use local and organic ingredients wherever possible, and the pork in my pork-and-apply pasty was certainly roughly hand-chopped, and not at all machine-precision-cut. My pasty was, in fact, way too hot to eat for quite a while, though this is a better extreme than too cold.
