Popped in for breakfast. Such a nice welcome. The English breakfast was great value (£4.90) and really tasty. Note cash only. Local cash machine broke. Only had £5 on me. I said I would've had set 2 option which was bigger and included coffee if they took card. How surprised was I when they gave me a free coffee. Thoroughly enjoyed my brekky!!!

Yesterday evening I went for an amazing fry up dinner at the Aylesham Market Fish Bar and it was delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty nothing was greasy. I was so impressed and recommend trying their cafe for a sit down service. 10/10 I will be back

I ate there not too long ago with my family, the staff were very polite, food was great and there was no long wait. I had the half pounder with chips. It was genuinely one of the best burgers I have ever had. To top it all off the 2 owners gave my family and I complimentary chocolates, and a Christmas card. Wonderful service, great food. 5 star.
