   We’ve visited Dr Legumes several times, and the last few visits have just not been as good as before. It felt like our choices on the menu were being dictated by the waitress, and there were so many things that ‘couldn’t be done’ due to timing and everything being made to order. The starters took such a long time to arrive (40 mins), and the mains were slightly cold. I also noticed that the ice cream that was being served with the sticky toffee pudding was from a general tub of shop-bought ice cream. I could see this from the mezzanine which looks slightly into the kitchen. There is a charge for ketchup which I find quite ridiculous. It’s a bit of a shame how the quality seems to be waring off.

   The food was lovely. Creative use of plant-based food and meat alternatives.

   Beautiful, well crafted and thoughtful food. Really cool ambience and always a great playlist. More lovely cushions or textiles would be my only (very female) feedback. But if you love food and enjoy cooking yourself, then rest assured you’re in the right place 💚

   Very unassuming restaurant in Folkstone but the food and service was exceptional. Would highly recommend, especially their Sunday Roast!

   Very well-cooked vegan food. Flavour's rich, vibrant and distinctive. Liked it very much. Super healthy, too, of course. As a dining experience, leaving aside the food and the very pleasant service, the venue is a bit 'cafe' like, but in a slightly old-fashioned way. They could spruce this up quite easily. So if it's a classy evening out you want, perhaps not, but for very good and tasty vegan food, served very nicely, then this is a good choice.

   Really charming service. Great choice of dishes if more focused on meat substitutes than we expected (seitan, pea protein sausage). That said, on a cold evening, the comfort food menu of pies, sausage and mash was just the ticket. The sticky toffee pud was exceptional. The wine list includes organic and biodynamic wines, which is a plus.

    Really enjoyed our meal out to Dr Legumes in Folkestone. Menu online was different to what was presented in the night, but actually superceded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, great value for money. What was even better was, they had desserts and you had more than one option. The staff were amazing, attentive, polite, considerate (I put in for a special request, which was fulfilled.) Just overall was really impressed with everything.
