  Love the fact that you can see your food being cooked. Spotlessly clean and tables far enough apart you feel it's intimate. Good selection of dishes, wines and drinks. Staff are local and so attentive. Helena, the hostess so friendly and takes time to welcome you and happy to answer questions about dishes etc. lovely to see that the restaurant is giving young up and coming chefs support while they train. Atmosphere was great and we really enjoyed our visit. Will be visiting again and will try the apprentice evenings. Well done to all at Banks, so nice to have this place on our doorstep.

  Lovely restaurant with plenty of space, reception and staff were lovely. Food was questionable, table next to ours sent Monkfish back as under cooked, my cod burger was served with slightly burnt roll and fish was cold in the middle. My wife and sister shared a chateaubriand @ £80, requested medium rare, came out sliced and was just above being blue and raw, they didn't complain but really should have. Mentioned it at the end and was given a free round of drinks. Overall I'd say it's a lovely restaurant with good service but food needs to checked before being sent out over the pass. Chef should know better.

  A table was reserved in conjunction with our stay at the affiliated bed and breakfast, securing the latest available seating time. Due to unforeseen work obligations, our arrival was delayed beyond our anticipated schedule, exceeding the dinner service cutoff. Nevertheless, the manager and chef graciously accommodated our late arrival. We were not rushed during our dining experience. We are extremely pleased to have been accommodated, as the cuisine was exceptional; each course was truly delightful. All staff exhibited exemplary friendliness and professionalism. Thank you so much,

  04.08.24 3pm Sunday Roast for two. (First visit) Overall a new pleasant experience. Limited car parking immediately outside but the adjacent Abbey has a free car park) On arrival there is no defined area to request a table. We’d booked in advance & arrived to a very busy (but clean) dining room with just 3 young staff members covering the dining room & bar. After eventually managing to grab the attention of a staff member we were seated (chairs could do with thicker cushions) 15 minutes later we needed to grab some attention again to order our drinks (at which time we ordered food too rather that wait too long again) First thoughts are that although busy & a nice atmosphere, a ‘front of house’ team member is required to orchestrate the floor team & welcome guests on arrival. Food came quickly, good temperature & well presented with clean cutlery & napkins. (No table cloths) (2 courses £25 p/p) Mackerel starter was just enough, tasty & well presented. The roast beef was plentiful & on hot plates with 3/4 roast potatoes, pickled red & green cabbage, stuffing, carrots & plenty of gravy. (Unfortunately as the meals were served to the table, a small amount of gravy splashed onto the floor & my shoes) a side of hot cauliflower cheese (£3) finished the course. Staff were friendly but a little under pressure all doing everything, it seemed no defined roll for each? The young lady that sat us & said she’d be back for our drinks order then went off to clean glasses, seemingly forgetting all about us until after 15mins we raised a hand to draw some attention from another server. It was a food only visit this time so can’t comment on the rooms. The outdoor garden area has both a raised patio & lower grass area with fantastic views right over to the Sheppey crossing. Single male, female & disabled access toilets all on the same floor as the restaurant & bar. Not overwhelmed in a positive way but not a completely underwhelming visit. Food was so plentiful neither could manage desert which was a shame as they all looked very tempting…. Maybe next time? Worth another visit but maybe at a less busy time if possible. I would imagine it to be a very nice venue for a ‘date night’ with a little music, tablecloths & candles.

  I just had lunch with my daughter at this lovely hidden gem of a restaurant in Minster-on-Sea, Sheppey. We both had the grilled chicken salad which was delicious. The young lady who served us was attentive and friendly and the restaurant itself was very clean and well presented. We thoroughly recommend it and will definitely return soon.
