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.
