stunning views | chilled vibes
Enjoy an unforgettable experience in an idyllic setting with open views of the countryside & the Kent & East Sussex steam trains chugging by in the distance.
Imagine messing about on the river with friends & family & then kicking back with a cold beer, listening to mellow tunes, whilst the kids kick a ball in the garden.
Opened in 2015, our Scandinavian boat house inspired restaurant offers indoor (covid allowing) & outdoor seating with stunning views; a great venue to hang out with friends & family.
Our menus are designed to cater for all, whether you are camping here, live locally, attending one of our events or are here to paddle on the River Rother.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast or just great coffee & fresh pastry. Lunchtime delights range from generous homemade burgers to seasonal salads, with good vegan & gluten free choices. Equally, you can just pop in for afternoon tea, cake or ice-cream. Our children’s menu will help keep the whole family happy.
In the summer we host regular live music events -See Social Media pages.

FolkestoneReal pleasure with delicious cream teas
"Our family trip down the river was a real pleasure with delicious cream teas in the middle. Most fun to sit up the front and get the best view of the wildlife. We plan to return to have a go boating ourselves another day. Just book ahead on summer weekends as they are so popular! Justly so."

CambridgeFelt like we needed to stay longer to enjoy more local sights
"We camped for 3 nights in August and were very nervous first timers. As soon as we arrived, the warm welcome made us feel better at once! The size of the field was great as the children all played together in the middle and we could keep an eye on them. We made use of the fire pit hire which we loved. Great location for exploring."

ChathamAbove all the ethos of this place is second to none.
"The cafe area is a stylish and good-looking place to have breakfast or lunch in keeping with the surroundings. It was well communicated that the ablution facilities are temporary and will soon be upgraded - that is not to say that they are inadequate by any means. Above all the ethos of this place is second to none. The owners were extremely friendly; there was a family atmosphere and the future vision to expand to accommodate schools and community should be commended."
