We had afternoon tea, it was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The sandwiches and cakes were lovely, and the scones were absolutely delicious.
Our only issue was when we asked for more tea. The teapot was taken away and brought back a few minutes later. Unfortunately they had only refilled the pot with tepid water, consequently the tea was lukewarm and weak. A sad end to what had been a lovely experience
Best steak I've had in years, with very friendly and attentive staff. Prices were very reasonable for quality £20+ for two courses. We paid £9.50 extra for the fillet upgrade which was 100% worth it. Decor is nice. Nice selection of drinks. Was more quiet than it deserves for a Friday night. I will definitely be back!
Conveniently located within the hotel and the menu has a range of options available for every taste. I particularly liked my martini and, being on a strict (although self-imposed due to my vanity and utter narcissism) low-carb diet, I appreciated the variety from which I had to choose.
Friendly staff and management, as usual, and the view from the balcony sea-view suite is always stunning. Please keep in mind that this is a very old hotel, so do not visit with modern amenities as a basis for your expectations. Here it is charming and a bit quirky, but every bit worth the experience. It is the only place I stay when I am in Dover (4+ times per year), so that should say something.😉
Mr White’s English Chophouse is great for a special meal when you are staying in Dover for a few days. We just came from a hike over the white cliffs and were very hungry, so a warm french onion soup, a delicious rib-eye steak, and sticky toffee pudding to finish it off did sound like a good idea.
It was my first time trying one on of the famous Marco Pierre White’s restaurants and I have to say it does live up to his reputation. Nothing overly unique or special about the style of cooking, just good quality classic dishes.
Lovely food on our visit, and not as expensive as we was expecting - albeit be aware they do add a service charge to the bill as default.
In terms of menu, they do offer a set meal. Two course for £14.95, which I didn't think was too bad, especially as it included a steak option! They also have a children's menu, and the portions of child's options come out big! (Could have easily got my two to have shared a kids meal).
Everything was clean, service was good and not loads of waiting around or anything. Would visit again as there was plenty I would have chosen!!
Post funeral wake. Finger buffet was very good & nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Cannot conment on costs as I wasn't paying but given the general surroundings, standard & quality of food, & efficiency & dress of staff, I think it would be safe to expect a large bill!!
Had a fantastic evening celebrating! The staff at the restaurant were lovely, especially our Waiter! We were treated to complimentary prosecco, the table was decorated and we were also presented with a celebratory dessert. As for our meal it was fantastic, very delicious indeed! Can't wait to return!
We tried this out after really enjoying the steakhouse in Folkestone by Marco Pierre white, had a nice window seat looking out to the Dover Harbour, a Less formal setting than Folkestone and a more burger based menu.
I had the sirloin steak and my wife had the chicken , really enjoyed them , ordered the sticky toffee pudding as the same as Folkestone but didn’t taste as nice hence 4 star rating. But a great restaurant to check out if you are in the area .
Afternoon tea. Weekday.
A delightful contrast to where I had eaten lunch the previous afternoon. Not pretentious, nice location and staff that were so pleasant I felt comfortable and attended to without having the simple pleasure of lazy conversation with my wife interrupted.
It is a chain restaurant but, and I cannot emphasise this enough, it manages to feel a little bit special because of its staff.
Took tea there to see if it was worth having dinner there at some point. My dress was on the tramp side of casual. Not made to feel anything about that. Plenty of eye contact and smiles. Made to feel welcome.
Food, just at an afternoon tea but plenty of it, about 1500 calories per person. Obviously preplated as is the norm but stored correctly so that nothing was dry or curly. Nice mix of flavours and textures with the cakes.
Will be booking dinner or lunch soon.
We ate here as it was in the hotel. We did make a reservation, expecting it to be busy on a Friday night, we were the only cover almost.
Food was very good, I would echo some of the comments on here that the food portions were lacking for the price point. The calamari as an example was tiny. The mains however were plentyful.
Great service, nice atmosphere would go to others in the chain.
Cocktails on the weak side for a steakhouse. Steakhouse hallmark is cocktails with a kick.
Very helpful staff. Sometimes the food looks like it has been put together in a rush and the cakes with afternoon tea lack imagination. Nice environment ..the covered terrace seating can get very hot in summer but nice view to the port of Dover
Had afternoon tea with family. Delicious scones. It just melts away in your mouth. Will definitely visit again to try other menus. Good service with attentive staff despite being busy.
Had a fantastic afternoon here to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. The staff were exceptional and couldn't do enough for us! They made a huge fuss of my nan, they sang and brought out cake which we hadn't arranged. They kept checking on us and refilling our drinks. Really fantastic customer service and the food was also very tasty! We will definitely be back for more. The staff here really went the extra mile and we can't wait to come back. Thank you for making it so special, my grandmother thoroughly enjoyed her day!
There were some very poor reviews of this restaurant online, so even though we were staying in the hotel so we nearly didn’t bother, but having just finished a really good meal there, we are glad we went.
We hadn’t booked in advance, but the staff were really accommodating, in spite of it being a very busy bank holiday weekend. They even got us the window seat we requested. The service was very friendly and helpful throughout the meal. The food was delicious (I had shepherds pie, DH had chicken escalope Milanese with fresh pasta
and we both had cheese to follow - so we kept it simple - but it was well cooked and delicious. One waitress, Belinda, was particularly helpful and pleasant.
