If you find yourself in Rye, England, The Cobbles Tea Room was incredibly charming and well worth a…read morevisit. Nestled off one of the main streets, this small establishment packs a big punch with traditional decor and a tasty afternoon tea menu. Everything from the service to the food and tea were delicious and served for a great pick me up in the middle of touring the town for the day.

We decided that we were long overdue to go back as it's been two years and we were in the area. We'd also heard that the Cobbles is under new management. But don't worry, it's exactly the same! We were welcomed at the door by the new owners who showed us to a table and we proceeded to order loads of food! We decided to go in before the lunchtime rush (11ish) and were the only people there for a good 30 minutes! I had coffee, a cheese scone (you've got to have the cheese scones, they are delicious!), a jacket potato with beans, and then a piece of coffee cake for dessert. Elle had gunpowder tea, a cheese scone (gotta have one! - not gluten free though) a gluten free toasted ham and cheese sandwich and some gluten free chocolate cake! Everything was delicious, the service was excellent, the waiting staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We sat with the sun shining through the door, with little sparrows, robins and other little birds flying up to the door and looking back at us. It was a really wonderful start to a day and I can't recommend them highly enough, they never disappoint and everything is exactly the same as they had been when we last visited. Ate everything before I thought about photographs lol....Can't wait to visit again.....

My husband and I ate here tonight for dinner, having no reservations. I ordered the cod and…read morescallops with pesto and white bean sauce whilst he got the wild boar chop (for wild boar week). I asked for no extra salt to be added to mine and it showed: the fish was quite bland as was the overall pesto sauce. That being said, it was very light and appreciated after a day of drinking and hot chocolate drinks. An annoyance though was the dish was described as having scallops and there was only one scallop with the meal! The cod portion was very good though. My husband LOVED his food, praising the flavour and amount of meat on his plate. Also, he appreciated the full bottle of ketchup given. However, he was only given a butter and not a steak knife and the waitress explained those are never given to customers. Huh?! Still, we overall had a nice experience and would return if in Rye. Decent prices too compared to other places.

This place is fantastic, easy walk from Dover Castle and just so happens to be Dovers oldest pub. The menu for lunch is small, feels like it's because they want to do things right. The fish and chips- highly recommend. However unless you are starving I recommend you split it with a friend. When we arrived we were immediately greeted, service was excellent. For families like us, they do have high chairs. They will take your order if you sit inside. There's also an outdoor garden however you need to come to the counter to order. Same with drinks. Each room has a lot of history. Take one look around and there's a lot going on. Apparently this location used to be a part of monastery and has evolved over the years now to a great pub. Each dish we enjoyed, the vegetarian linguine was fresh, chips were delicious and the fish was wonderful. If you're cruising in and need a place for a good meal not too far from the port or to Dover Castle- I recommend you swing on in. Highly casual so you can come as is or for special occasion.

It's a lovely, flower-decked half-timbered building, with which my guests from overseas were delighted. The interior is in keeping, too, and everyone enthused about the reasonably priced roast chicken. Not me, though I had the 'Pork Pie Ploughman's', for I don't like a heavy meal in the middle of the day. And, being something of a connoisseur of pies, this was as good as the product of Melton Mowbray although they're not allowed to call it such these days, for 'Melton Mowbray' is now a PDO. I can't speak for the beer, for it was my turn to drive. The others pronounced it satisfactory, though.

When I got inside I was disappointed because immediately you see a "slot machine" (one of those gambling machines you have in English pubs). I have nothing against them but given the history of the place, I think the owner would be better off making sure the place has a historic feel. As for the beer, they had only one cask ale (again disappointed) with all the other beers being the usual (Guiness, Heineken, etc); definitely not what I expected.
