The Victorian - Shepway

Thoroughly enjoyed our unexpected Christmas dinner. We stayed in the hotel room only, so got a special price voucher to get a meal in the restaurant fir a bargain price. We had a seafood starter, followed by turkey and gammon with trimmings. After was a lovely selection of gateau, plus we could have had Christmas pudding. Followed this with cheeses and crackers. A complimentary glass of fizz and not forgetting the crackers and unlimited hot drinks. We were so full, we were burstin excuse the pun). Definitely eat here again, even at the full price, as worth every penny.

Reasonable price £9.50 on the day) and lots of variety in the buffet, and unlimited hot drinks and food.

Good choice of food but everything was cold. Most things were gone halfway through the time slot. Staff did not monitor i.e. the tea and coffee facilities, no mugs, milk. They only have to look and keep on top of things.

I am continuously surprised by the reviews I read about this hotel. Although we did not stay overnight in Folkestone, we had a great experience in the dining room. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant dining experience. The Sunday meal was excellent, with hot food served on hot plates, beautifully cooked dishes, and a wide selection of meat and vegetables. The dining room was a bit chilly, but it is a part of the Victorian building and may be difficult to heat properly. The staff were delightful, and I made sure to thank the lovely ladies who served us and the chef. The ballroom was also cold, but we quickly warmed up once we started dancing. There was no charge for parking, so I do not understand the complaints about that.
