A group of 21 have just enjoyed a fabulous Christmas lunch. The food was all homemade, beautifully cooked and served hot. The main courses were accompanied by a good selection of fresh vegetables and the portions are generous. The homemade desserts were all delicious especially the Baileys cheesecake!

We had our end of term meal here for our adult singing group and, as per all past years, it was absolutely delicious, all served together nice and hot. Even though we had chosen different meals beforehand, nobody was kept waiting. Vegetables were also delicious, nothing soggy, with a good variety. I cannot recommend this eating place highly enough.

This was one of the best meals we have ever had, we had their Christmas 3 course meal. Exceptional value for money but the food was of high quality. A highlight was the slow cooked brogdale shoulder of pork with crackling, just delicious. Also the baileys cheesecake… scrumptious as was the lemon tart. Would really recommend this restaurant and we will be back. Thank you.

Beautiful homemade food. Best meal out in ages for proper homemade. Great staff. Comfy and tables not to close together.

Very good. Smaller portions of lovely food for the elderly clientele.

We were staying in the area and had two breakfasts at the Parlour. The waitress was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. The menu is quite varied. My husband had the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast which he said was delicious. In fact he had the same on the second breakfast. I had the most delicious granola with yoghurt and berries which was an extremely generous portion. The coffees also were good. It is definitely a place we would visit when we next return to Birchington. Friendly staff and comfortable seating.

Went with my parent for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed. Really tasty English breakfast and coffee. Friendly service too. I would definitely recommend going here. 10 out of 10.

My no.1 spot for breakfast. Food is fresh and delicious and a lovely warm feel to the place. Highly recommend, never had a bad experience here.
I'd arranged to meet a friend of mine, originally for breakfast, but she then requested a later time so we could eat and have one of her friends join us at midday. I was a few minutes earlier than 11.30, but sadly discovered it was the end of breakfast service. My friend having already arrived. They offered to squeeze us in but my friend replied she was happy to wait until lunch at midday. We sat in the sunniest spot in the garden, not my favourite place, as I don't do wasps or heat, but nice enough once parasols were erected. While we waited for midday and her friend to arrive, I had a lovely pot of tea with extra water. Her friend arrived early and we ordered. The menu, plus specials board, was scrummy lots of healthy dishes, including vegetarian, fish, and something for the meat eaters too. Her friend ordered a starter; Crisp tempura prawns with Asian salad, served with fresh lime and sweet chilli. He had the steak and ale pie for main, with potatoes, veggies and jug of gravy. My friend being gluten-free had specific requirements which the staff managed without batting an eyelid. The same for me, when I choose two items from two different dishes. They took our requests in their stride and are an asset to the business, remaining calm and obliging. Every dish arrived immaculately presented. We all agreed the food was of a high standard and cooked to perfection. I couldn't fault my lovely salmon and herb fishcakes, nor sauté potatoes. Likewise, my friend's cod fillet looked amazing, cooked precisely as it should be. The pie looked good too, and must have been because her friend cleared his entire plate. I will definiately be coming back to The Parlour, now I know it presents scrummy food. A quality chef works here, make no mistake.

The best home cooked food that I've ever tasted in a restaurant. It's as good as my mum's and she's a very, very good cook. We will certainly be back for more next summer. Unfortunately I don't live in Birchington anymore. If I did I would go once a week.

What a lovely place to find. All home cooked food and desserts, very friendly staff and relaxed welcoming environment. My wife and I will definitely be returning with our young baby.

A local rare gem where all the food is home cooked and you can certainly tell that in the quality and super presentation. Good, honest, unpretentious, well cooked food in a delightful setting with friendly staff.
