The Cliffe Restaurant

Lovely food and very attentive staff, been there quite a few times now and never had a bad experience, highly recommended and it’s one of the few restaurants in Folkestone that’s have maintained standards

Roast dinner really good, choice of meats and food portion. Starter really nice didn’t have room for pudding though. Good service and nice views. Recommended.

Dined from a la carte menu while overnighting in hotel. F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! Having successfully tried the tapas meu in the bar for lunch we had high expectations for dinner- we were certainly not disappointed! Excellent service, delicious food and great value! Highly recommended, thank you!

Excellent food and the staff are very pleasant although slightly unorganised. Surprised they don’t have a menu of what spirits they have, my partner had to go and look at the till to see what spirits he could choose from. Waited 40 minutes for our main meals. We noticed other tables being served their mains before us even though we had been there longer. We didn’t mention anything as we were in no rush and were enjoying sitting and drinking our drinks. The waitress eventually bought our meals over and apologised for the wait. They also forgot my dessert and it was only that one of the waiters noticed I had been given cutlery and had sat waiting for a while that he chased it up and found that our ticket had been missed by the kitchen. Not really sure what the problem was with our table and missing our orders but we didn’t complain. The lemon meringue dessert wasn’t very nice, too sweet and the meringue was a runny mess but our seabass main meals and the Thai mussels and soft shell crab starters made up for what the dessert lacked. Although service was a bit of a let down we will definately return.

Great service. Holly is very good at front of house. Good choice of food, well cooked and presented. Lovely wine. What more can you ask for?

Marvellous relaxing Sunday lunch, Staff extremely friendly and helpful, wonderful surroundings. We will certainly be returning, we also understand that they are going to have some musical entertainment in the near future.

Always made to feel welcome at the Cliffe. Excellent food and very attentive staff. A cocktail is a must, the best in Folkestone . See you again soon.

Lovely meal and our waitress was brilliant ! Food a bit slow to come out but definitely worth the wait ! Will come again soon

The food was cold had to be sent back to the kitchen to reheat. The gravy should be served separately not pored over the meal the food was swimming in gravy. The staff were pleasant but a bit more training would be good. Overall disappointing.

It was a fantastic evening. Not only was the service attentive but the food was of a very high standard. A definite revisit is in order.

Sunday lunch. Excellent starters, slightly over cooked beef, dry Yorkshire but nicely done veg. Good tart but the lemon overpowered the elderflower. All nicely presented by competent staff.

Beautiful surrounds and excellent efficient service Had the fish and chips and was delicious Sticky toffee pudding very nice Will definitely be back very soon

Another wonderfully mouth watering meal in picturesque settings. Staff and atmosphere amazing. This really is a hidden gem. Can’t wait to return.

Excellent Sunday lunch, had roast beef lovely and tender, great yorkshire puddings and crispy potatoes with plenty of vegetables. lovely setting on the Leas with very friendly staff.

Fantastic food, drink, service and atmosphere. We went for a birthday celebration and had the perfect night. Not one fault could be going. Extremely happy 😃

The food is incredible. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. They are great to talk to and are happy to have a laugh. The cocktails are faultless. Amazing evenings.

The menu had changed to the one sent on the e-mail. Nevertheless the menu was good. The food was excellent, and the service from the waitress was also excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A nice place. Good food, good service. Reasonably priced too. Would return. It’s a bistro type restaurant, rather than traditional dining. Could probably do with more of an atmosphere.

Food was beautiful and very reasonably priced for the quality of food, the staff were lovely and went out of there way to make sure we were happy an amazing night

This place has a great bar for drinks before and after you meal making it ideal for a complete night out. It’s not fast food but what you get is excellent and service is first rate.

Really great food and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and bar . I would definitely recommend and will also return again . I had the sea bass . It was delicious and the sweet potato fries and vegetables were also really tasty .

Great food and service. Spacious restaurant without unnecessary ambient noise. Very good range of choices on the menu. Attentive but not overbearing service. Everything was delicious.

Lovely as always! Took my dad for a meal and he loved it

So happy we found this lovely place, Amazing choice of food and drinks and very nice inside the Hotel also the staff made you feel very welcome and they were very attentive. Cant wait to return!! 😁

Always great here amazing food and amazing cocktails. Our favourite place to eat

I had Crab starter and sea bass for main - full up so no room for dessert! Lovely meal. Good service. Cocktails made to high standard.

lovely stuff, even lovlier view right across the channel to France!

A beautiful place in a lovely setting. The staff were friendly and attentive which was great The food was delicious and there was a good choice on the menu We will definitely be returning.

As always an exceptionally great meal provided. Staff wonderfully knowledgable regarding menu. Setting breathtaking. Think I may have found a new favourite in the pork belly would overly recommend giving it a try I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Thank you The Cliffe as always a great evening spent.

It was My Fathers 94th Birthday, he is a bit hard of hearing but short as is my step mother, chairs were very low for tables and uncomfortable even forty wife and myself, cutting in on back of legs, people management should always when buying furniture should try them out first, had to get cushions for shorter older parents not a big problem but shame about chairs. Starters were OK but not wow in any sense, had Sunday lunch before here was all very good, still same chairs still cut off legs. The mains I had steak and so did my wife these were very good and enjoyed them, also prawn and muscle salad for father was good, but the lamb mum had was tough and hard work, did not complain as that is not their way, but just saying for them as not a cheap meal. Only benefit was some of the lamb went home for the dog wrapped in tissues, he did not find it tough!

The restaurant is in a lovely spot. The waiting on staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and most of all, the food was excellent. It really was the perfect way to start our holiday before heading off to France the following morning.

We have eaten at this restaurant a few times and it has always been amazing, really pleasant staff and food was on time, would recommend to anyone

My family and I enjoyed our Sunday lunch. It was beautifully cooked, presented and efficiently served. We look forward with pleasure to our next dining experience with you.

Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Food was well presented and flavoursome. Nice ambience and our table had a lovely sea view across the English Channel

The food is absolutely amazing, the service is absolutely amazing, the drinks are amazing, such a lovely place shame they have to deal with rude customers who think it’s ok to click their fingers for service

The food was very nicely prepared and tasted very good as usual. Unfortunately, though our young waiter was very attentive, we did have to wait a long time for our main course. It seemed this was most likely due to the kitchen staff. When we called this to the manager’s attention the matter was rectified.

Delicious food, friendly staff in a lovely setting. The overall experience was very good. The only negative for us, was as it was a Monday night it was very quiet, so ambience was lacking. However I would definitely return as the food was fabulous.

Only things that could be improved would be linen table cloths and more ambient lighting. Service was excellent and food fabulous. Wine list good if a little limited.

A great experience. Relaxed environment, attentive staff and pleasant afternoon tea. We were offered a choice of table and were made to feel very welcome. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely artwork depicting local places of interest. The food was absolutely delicious, a varied menu and excellent service with a smile. I recommend this restaurant highly.
