The best restaurants in Ashford South East

Glad we decided to take a break at this garden centre cafe on our way back from Brighton. We were ideally looking for a loo and somewhere to grab an easy coffee. But we saw the menu and decided to have a late lunch and can recommend the ham egg and chips served with "proper thick cut ham" Also the omelette cooked with onion, spinach,tomatoes, and cheese. Meals are served hot,quick and a very decent portion. Nice cup of coffee, too. Staff are helpful and the venue is very clean.....the garden centre was stocked fully and not too big to have a stroll around.

Queued for 20 minutes and then was told contents of a panini could not be altered (one item needed removing and being replaced by another as my wife has food intolerances). Totally inflexible and unhelpful. Walked out and will never return.

Got a takeaway for 5 of us. All cooked fresh and was still lovely and hot by the time I got home. Lovely fish and chips and curry sauce.

Terrible service. 1 classic hot chocolate with cream, 2 lattes and 3 cold mince pies. Shouldn't be too hard. The barista (slightly overstating the job title here) made the hot chocolate first, added the cream and then sat it on the side whilst getting and opening the milk for the coffee....by which time the cream had melted into the hot chocolate. I asked for the cream to be added when the coffee was ready, expecting them to pour it away and start again, doing it properly. No, more cream was added to the original drink, left to melt again, 45pence worth (8) mini marshmallows added, all the melted cream poured down the side of the mug, then it was put onto the tray. 2 coffees followed and I was asked if I wanted the mince pies warmed up. "No thank you". They turned around and started serving the next customer. I asked for my mince pies and was told they were in the microwave. "But I didn't want them warm" I said. So they got them out of the microwave, dumped them on my tray "they're not too hot". "Errrm no, I wanted them cold". Hence more slamming things around and 3 cold mince pies came our way. Along with a hot chocolate swimming with 2 lots of completely melted cream and not even an apology. £20! Wow, train the Saturday staff please.

Friendly staff and tasty home-made cakes and pastries. You select and pay at the counter and your order is brought to you. Nice seating area inside and, if the weaher is good enough, a quiet (considering it is on the High Street) area outside.

Do yourself a favour - think twice before you eat there. I went with a friend. The chips tasted and looked like they had been cooked in oil earlier in the day and re-heated in a microwave so they were soggy and tasteless and not a lot of effort put into presentation on the whole the food was substandard. The furniture wasn't the best. The chairs needed re-padding and given a good clean. The female staff were polite and helpful. Probably the only positive thing about our visit to the café.

well i wanted a cream pie but i got a divious experience behind the counter i didnt expect a little girl to work this hard (;

Wow!!.Great friendly greetings from staff .They work so hard but with a smile every time . As for the food ,you won’t be disappointed,all the food is exceptional. I love the new pods that have been set up outside .Fantastic place to visit 😁😁😁

Always love visiting Macdonalds Ashford high street. The staff are so hard working, great with the kids and friendly to. Food is always cooked thoroughly and quickly, always very tasty.

Worst food I have had ever. Ordered and told it would be 90 minutes turned up 3 hours later. Delivery driver was polite. Food was stone cold and horrible. Phoned up to complain and the women was down right rude, no apology just told me to bag everything in its proper containers and bag and then wait for a driver to come and collect so they can check if it’s definitely cold or if we were lying. Couldn’t tell me what time the driver would come back. I Didn’t bother, no refund or compensation offered just basically said I was lying.

I received my order over ten minutes late,the food was cold and dry when I opened it to serve i had to put in the bin,,very very poor service with crusader kebad&pizza i will not be ordering again from them and I advise people do the same

It was ok and thought we had found a real gem, however…….very slim pickings on the menu, 2 of the 6 mains were sold out even at 6pm. So thank good for the specials board. The food good can’t fault that, but don’t have the steak if you like it blue as they won’t accommodate it. Staff were a real struggle though a lovely lad in there but the female side was just god awful. Did not make for a warm welcome and consistently reminded us that they needed the table at a certain time, (which believe you me, we knew already) practically ushered us from our seats, to which made us not want another drink in the bar area. Refused to serve my 22 year old daughter alcohol, even though she had a work lanyard to which they snuffed (hey ho their pub 🤷🏼‍♀️) but not great for her after hard shift on a Saturday!! So no rush at all to go back. Thankfully have found another pub 10 mins away which is just fab!!

I went in there yesterday middle of the afternoon. Very quiet with people playing pool and watching the sport on TV. There is no real ale here, but the bar staff were terrific. A top dollar bar maid.

Ordered chicken rogan josh, no spice to it, supposedly tomato curry with roasted spices, and a chilli kick, more like smart price curry sauce, I've had ice cubes that have been Hotter? Don't waste your money, Can't wait till i get my samsung z6 flip, Has A I(Artificial intelligence) which has a translator, Breaks down the commutation barrier.
