From a small wooden shed Chummies has grown into a much bigger and better business and all the better for it.
All kinds of fresh local shellfish can be served up either hot or cold or with a salad.
Favorite Dish: Hot whelks on a cold day!

Not a restaurnat but seafood stall on the Stade overlooking the harbour.
All kinds of seafood to take home and eat at the thoughtfully provided benches.
Favorite Dish: Prawns and cockles... they do jellied eels as well if you really want them.

My friend and I came here recently for her birthday and I must say for a small town this restaurant was excellent.
The service was very good with the waiter and waitress eager to help and they both helped us with our choices as the menu is quite extensive. They also helped with the choice of the wine and actually told us the house one was the best! They were right about the wine and the food!
Portions are large so be careful should you decide to have a starter as you may not have room for dessert!
It is quite expensive but as a special treat it is certainly worth it!
Favorite Dish: %S$For a starter I had the salmon risotto and it was so creamy and so well made. The only problem was there was so much that I had to leave some of it to make room for the main course. For the main course I had the veal in cream and mushroom sauce. Delicious!!!!
Tracie and I shared a dessert and we toook the Italian cake filled with strawberries and crea. Yummy!

Not really a bar although there is a small seating area at one end. The main business is an excellent all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet and it is worth a mention just for that. No "all boiled rice and hunt the crispy duck" here, as attentive staff keep the varied and plentiful dishes well stocked. It's not cheap and you probably have to ask yourself if you are able to eat £13 worth of Chinese food but it is cheaper midweek and lunchtimes and is well worth a visit if you're hungry.

This restaurant has been open in Folkestone for as long as i can remember, they are actually freinds of my parents and as it was my fathers birthday a few weeks ago we decided to take him for a meal here. This is the first time we have eaten here for years and although the decore is like going back in time, the food is exeptional. I don't think its been decorated since my last visit in the 70s coz its still got flock wallpaper on the walls LOL, but so long as the food is good who cares
Favorite Dish: We actually hired the whole restaurant out for 1 night because there was a big party of us and the menu was pre arranged before hand. The owner prepared a whole roast pig for us with all the trimmings, superb stuff and not to be missed

Up till a couple of years ago this was a dissused bank, but now its been turned into a chinese all you can eat restaurant. Good value for money, but thats as far as it goes in my opinion, all these sort of buffet restaurants seem to be the same, and they are popping up all over the country. In my view these are great places to go if all you want is stuff your self silly, but as for the culenary side of things, well forgett it

Before i start, this is not a seafood restaurant, but a seafood stall, and its far better and cheeper than a restaurant. This place has been here all my life and you will not taste better crabs or cockles anywhere in England. It is very poplar in the summer, you can buy a plate of prawns or cockles and sit with a pint of beer at the pub oppersitt WHAT COULD BE BETTER
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish has to be there crabs

The east cliff pavillion is a fantastic place to eat your sunday roast because of the panoramic views over the channel to france. This restaurant also does great international nights such as turkish nights, greek nights, italian nights and so on. If your ever in Folkestone and one of these nights is on DO NOT MISS IT .
