WOW!! We are visiting for the weekend and knew we had to visit Angela's. With our expectations high, we were still blown away!! The mackerel with kohlrabi and scallops were AMAZING, apple cider sorbet FANTASTIC, and every drink - wine, soft, and coffee - was a delight. Not only was the food and drink incredibly fresh, delicious, high quality, perfectly prepared and creatively devised - the service was BEYOND 10/10. We felt so at home and welcomed. We came in 30 Nov @ 2.30pm - a very special shout out to both waiters who served our table and the chefs, for being incredibly accommodating of a gluten + dairy intolerance - altering the dishes we ordered, explaining super clearly the menu and allergens, and the chefs even going the extra mile to serve us a delicious dessert. I have never been accommodated for intolerance so kindly, professionally, and gracefully - this was just truly fantastic. We will be back!!!!

A small but cosy restaurant. Excellent and fresh seafood, we ordered scallops and pumpkin soup as starters, the scallops were cooked just well with pumpkin potatoes mashed at the bottom. The pumpkin soup is rich in flavour. Perhaps is Monday, there was limited choices for the main, we have the turbot and skate, both are incredible delicious.

If you love fish, like I do, then you will love Angela's. An ever-changing and varied choice of sea food based meals that are very tasty. There were a single vegetarian and vegan option for starter and main which were very good also. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as well as being extremely attentive.

I had my lunch outside, which was any of the other places on the square, a long table without nice views. The place looked nicer inside, so I might try that if the weather doesn't call for eating outside. The food was delicious. My turbot was a bit charred to my taste, but not too much to ruin the dish. The service was great, even if i could have ordered another glass of wine if the waiter had not changed in between my courses. While the prices are upscale, I would have expected a few more than three potatoes for five pounds on my side dish.

Nice food for reasonable prices. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the venue is clean and really big. A service charge is automatically applied to bill at payment.

Had a meal with family for our 55th wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to go. From the friendly welcome to the most fantastic meal it made the day special. The food was presented and Cooke with obvious pride and dedication. The atmosphere was warm and inviting . We will definitely be recommending and returning again.

Even better second time! We came for dinner again and the food was superb. I had the Chorizo Scotch Egg to start, followed by the Cod and Fries, with the Irish Affogato to finish. Friendly service, lovely decor and clean facilities make this an excellent venue. We shall return!

What a great, honest, down-to-earth place. Solid grub (though could do with more vegan options, please! 🙏🏻), lovely staff, wonderful spot in Birchington that the DFLs tend not to find.

It’s hard to describe the magic of the Pig hotels if you haven’t been to one. Their rustic charm is unbeatable for celebrating a special occasion or just a relaxing break. The thoughtful and personal touches by the team are really second to none - they always go the extra mile with customer service. We have stayed at Bridge Place twice now (getting engaged there the first time!) and we will continue returning year on year. The breakfasts are so yummy - the artisanal options on the breakfast table are a special touch. Dinner is always great! Their interiors are absolutely divine too. Thank you Pig team for another amazing stay, and Merry Christmas!✨

We celebrated our 18th anniversary at this stunning venue and we had an amazing evening! The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed. The menu featured a nice selection of locally sourced dishes, and we loved that they grow most of their own vegetables and herbs. The building is lovely, and a walk around the grounds is a must. While it’s a bit pricey, the quality of the food and exceptional service make it well worth it. A perfect spot for a special occasion!

I had lunch today at the restaurant but did not stay at the hotel.The grounds are incredible.Beautiful scenery. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. I was by myself.They made me feel comfortable aswell as explaining the menu and having a nice chat, the customer service was 10/10. The food was great one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The staff also helped me get a taxi later on. Would definitely recommend and definitely be back.

Nice little Indian restaurant in Wingham. The food and service was extremely good, the staff were also very thoughtful, helpful and efficient. Only really two minor negatives which absolutely would not stop me going again are, no parking and I just felt the restaurant could do with some more Indian decoration to give it that Asian feel. But honestly the food really was good plus well priced.

Was there on Friday night with friends. My friends had eaten there previously, but it was my first time. Every thing was top notch, the food, the staff, and the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Salma and look forward to eating there again.

We have dined here for a special occasion. The fire place was on and it added to overall atmosphere. We went for a longer menu. It was one of the best meals of our lives. Especially the lobster was just amazing. Every little piece was perfectly executed and balanced. Oysters were delicious as well. And the wine selection is very extensive.

Rating: 5 / 5

The food was exceptional as was the wine selection which included a number of English vineyards. We chose the â la carte menu and were very pleased with the choices. I suppose the only comment we would make is that it's basically a pub albeit an elevated one and the service reflects that. Which doesn't mean that anyone was rude - far from it - but there was a fair bit of shouting and loud talking in/out of the kitchen and up/down the bar. My expectation when paying £75pp is that the staff would perhaps be a little more circumspect but in no way did it detract from the absolutely amazing food.

Rating: 5 / 5

An incredible experience, all round. The service, food and atmosphere were outstanding. I love the fact that this restaurant doesn't have a 'stuffy' vibe. It's top class but in a relaxed way. Will definitely be going back.

Went last night for Valentines day and as we entered was greeted with a rose and glass of champagne. The service was amazing and the food was the best Turkish meal we have ever had. The flavours were amazing and plenty of it. It was a set menu for £35.00 pp and worth every penny. The friendly service you receive is fab. Definately going again soon! Their casseroles are to die for!!!!!

Really good food and service. Went for Sunday lunch and the roast was delicious. Other options on the menu as well.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lamb rump really delicious. Small, single hasselback potato accompaniment needed some friends, for £26 though! And the side of veggies at £5 also a derisorily small portion size. Service and vibe superb, so if the pointlessly miserly approach to vegetables is rectified, this place would be perfect!

We recently had our wedding ceremony, meal, and evening reception at the Swan on the 27th July. We cannot say anything but good things about the Swan. Anne Herring was an amazing wedding planner, she made us feel so special throughout. The service from start to finish was exceptional. All staff were so friendly and helpful. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was! If you are looking for somewhere to host your wedding, please visit The Swan, you won't be disappointed. We would like to say thank you so much to Anne and all at the Swan for a perfect day/night. Phil & Alex x

First visit to this incredible little gem today for our anniversary brunch, couldn’t find a single fault, not that we were looking however, staff were perfect! Welcoming, polite, friendly, felt like we were the only ones there because they were so attentive and lovely, would go back just to be treated so nicely, but the food was 5 star, perfect temperature, fresh, and really good options especially for me as a vegetarian, love love love this place! Will be going back asap!

Lovely pub, very welcoming and a nice atmosphere. Staff were very attentive but lessened once it got busier. Forgot to ask if everything was ok after serving main meal BUT nothing was too much when we asked for anything. Food was excellent and very tasty. My family and I go out a lot for a Sunday Roast and although fairly pricey ( you get what you pay for ), I would give the whole experience 8.5 out of 10. I would visit again

A lovely night's stay at the Dog. The 3 course meal was delicious and the service was excellent. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was also very tasty- plus generous portions. Thank you! Well see you again soon.

Rating: 5 / 5

A truly delightful experience. Staff were all so pleasant and professional that it would be unfair to single any one out for special praise. Food and drink both to a very high standard. Room very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Great location for exploring the surrounding area. Overall a very enjoyable stay and a place I am very happy to recommend.
