Folkestone Wine Company - Shepway

The French Sun King Louis 16th boiling away in his legendary orangery at Versailles famously made the finest marmalade in all Christendom, but not any more! All hail the new marmalade king, by Dave, the brilliant chef-owner of the Folkestone Wine Company, whose small batch marmalade puts the Sun King in the shade! The king Louis of marmalade is dead, long live Dave, the new king of marmalade!

We visited here for a birthday lunch. They were quite accomodating despite the fact we were 15mins late.This is a quite silly but intimate place with great atmosphere. The food is excellent we had Dover sole and turbot. Both were cooked to perfection. The wild garlic soup was really good as it was actually foraged. Only downside was we had no room for deserts. Would return again and definitely recommend.

Great Little Restaurant, Got a late booking, very relaxed environment our waiter and Polly front of house very welcoming. Food was very well cooked and seasoned , Scallop dish exceptional, only slight downside , 4 half sliced bits of bread sliced with a mandolin ? and tab of butter £4 whole loaf of Bread ? And I know it’s shabby chic but iron your napkins. would definitely go back but a few minor details would not make me feel I was a bit slightly short changed .

Phenomenally overrated. We sat in a shabby room at the rear that was full of pointless furniture, the lighting and ambience was dreadful. Maybe I’m lucky to have an enthusiastic cook at chez nous but this meal was very average and vastly overpriced… the icing on the cake ? A 75ml glass of pineau at £9 (the price of 75cl in leclerc) and a glass of Sparkling vouvray £11.50 (6€ a BOTTLE in France). Avoid

It's nuts that TripAdvisor's algorithm ranks this as the 41st best restaurant in Folkestone (at the time of writing . I'd say it's one of the best restaurants in the south east of England and far and away the best in Folkestone (miles better than Rocksalt! The food is absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, inventive and fresh. The wine is fantastic, the atmosphere is great and the service is friendly and attentive. It's perfect. The people on here writing reviews moaning about the crockery, prices or things running out on the menu ought to just go to Pizza Express this is a brilliant independent restaurant that I'll come back to again and again.
