Marleys
Price: Very Expensive•British•4.8(304)Opened in 2018 by local couple Mark & Charly, Marleys is a neighbourhood favourite rooted in fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. What began as a cosy café-restaurant has evolved into something a little more special — a place where elevated casual dining meets warm, down-to-earth hospitality.
By day, we serve relaxed walk-in breakfast and lunch with a focus on comforting British flavours and thoughtful touches. By night, Marleys transforms into a more intimate and romantic setting, offering a refined yet welcoming dinner experience with a carefully curated menu and a touch of elegance.
Whether you’re joining us for a laid-back brunch or an evening out, you’ll find heartfelt food, a passionate team, and an atmosphere that feels both familiar and beautifully unexpected.
Dinner reservations are available in the evenings, while breakfast and lunch remain walk-in only.Little Rock
Price: Moderate•Seafood•4.8(1,002)Housed in a shipping container behind Platform Two of the old Folkestone Harbour Station, Little Rock is a spectacular new beachside restaurant just off the boardwalk before the entrance to Folkestone Harbour Arm. Explore the stunning indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Proud to serve fresh, local and seasonal fish and seafood, supplied straight from the day boats operating out of Folkestone Harbour and the surrounding Hythe Bay area.
To get in touch with us by email, please contact us at info@littlerockfolkestone.co.uk or you can contact our Central Reservations Team at reservations@therocksaltgroup.com

- TThomasLondon •1 review4.0Dined on 2 May 2025So good to have a genuine vegan restaurant in the area. Menu is good, not overloaded, with a variety of choices. We went for the "seafood" themed platter. All tasted really nice, although for my taste it relied a little too much on the batter. We will definitely come back for more and try the other dishes. And I certainly recommend this place. They allow dogs, and thestaff is super friendly and attentive.More infoDr LegumesPrice: Expensive• Vegan• Folkestone•4.6
