Overall, it's a popular spot for breakfast and lunch, with a good reputation for value and friendly staff.
"So so impressed with this place. The menu is delicious. The coffee is strong but smooth. The music is relaxing and at a perfect volume to still chat. It's clean and the decor is modern, love the shade of blue on the walls.
But the highlight is the staff. So efficient. Seated quickly, served quickly, table cleared quickly, but made to feel welcome the entire time. Food was delicious, we had the eggs benedict, sourdough toast with marmalade and coffees.
We will definitely be back!!!
Maya, Abby, Ollie & Mia are superstars 🌟"

"Sunday VEGAN breakfast was fabulous.. The best I've eaten in a very long time. Hurrah for chef that did not put fake meat or fake cheese anywhere near the tasty plateful.
Well balanced and colourful.. lovely and hot on a hot plate 10/10 Thank you chef. Staff were smiley and helpful. Do go to the Kent Mining museum on the site too."

"Brilliant restaurant right next to the kids playpark at Betteshanger. The menu is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast and lunch menus available and a good selection of drinks at the bar.
Places to sit both inside and out when the weather is good.
Really great place to have a drink or meal after exploring Betteshanger park."
