Stunning outdoor location for a coffee or a yummy lunch. Very friendly service with a great selection of sandwiches, coffees, milkshakes and cakes. Dog friendly too with pup cups available!

What a great stop off point to reward yourself during a walk, run or cycle. The ideal place to refuel if exercise has taken its toll. Small seating area with plenty of outdoor space to soak up the views and soak up the rays if the British weather is being kind. Wide selection of drinks and snacks.

What a beautiful little place to stop on the river, truly the friendliest and helpful owner with beautiful snacks and drinks, I have no idea why anyone would choose to walk by here and go to Malta Inn if you’re just after a quick bite and a drink. Really enjoyed our time here today and cannot wait to go back!

I just LOVE it here, so do my two dogs! Lovely variety of food, dog treats and drinks and a beautiful spot by the river. I’m looking forward to trying out their new cafe the pantry in Aylesford too!

Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

A lovely place to stop and relax and enjoy a cuppa or a bite to eat. Our dog loves it too for the treats and the Dog ice-cream. Staff really friendly. Can highly recommend!

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!
