The Providence Inne

We went here with friends as they live here in Sandgate. Lovely little pub setting greeted by the owner and staff and they made you feel so welcome. Lovely log fire which was greatly appreciated as it was cold today. There were 6 of us and we had a variety of starters. The whitebait was the best I have ever tasted. The scotch and haggis egg was excellent. I had the pulled pork bon bons with stilton cheese crumbled over them and a sauce to die for. My wife then had bangers and mash and she loved it. The rest of us had the roast and hand on heart was the best I have had to date. The deserts were perfection rhubarb crumble, lemon posset, sticking toffee pudding and chocolate brownie. The food was next level, beautifully presented and absolutely faultless. The owner and the staff made the experience and can't thank them enough. This is truly a hidden gem and you won't be disappointed, this is an absolute must.
11/02/2024 went here again with more friends and wow. Amazing staff and service and the food was absolutely incredible. I love this place and can't wait to return.

Another absolutely delicious meal this afternoon at The Providence Inne. We come here often and the food and service is always absolutely spot on. The best roasts in Folkestone without a doubt!

I highly recommend this welcoming pub. Got caught in the unseasonal weather today and hoped to get lunch and dry off having seen good reviews. Ordered a drink and when I asked about food was told they were fully booked. However the barman then said if I was on my own he'd fit me in if I could be patient. I found this a really touching gesture. Food was excellent and I didn't really wait that long! Great quality food and lovely service from the lone bar person who I heard having genuine conversations with all the diners. Thanks, I hope to visit again soon. 😊

Best Food I’ve Eaten in a long time

Went for a meal with my partner, and all I can say is wow . Food was out standing, everything fresh and well presented. All homemade by chef . It's such a lovely cosy atmosphere. Will be back andvyes recommended 100%

Lovely little place, limited out door seating, but on a hot day was lovely and cool to sit in side for a drink and lunch after walking along the beach. Food was fantastic the best burger I've had in a restaurant, and the chunky double fried chip were delicious. The photo of the burger doesn't do it justice I'd unfortunately not waited to take the picture before a bite. The hot dog was also really good. Yummy properly home cooked food, without a long wait. Guy on the bar was friendly, polite and really welcoming. Felt safe and followed covid guildlines without it effecting the atmosphere.

Everything here is done with pride and great care. Great service, fantastic high quality seafood. All dishes perfect. Also good ales on tap. Worth skipping the sea view for a meal here by miles!!

Really great pub in Sandgate. Made to feel very welcome by the owner, Darryl.

Good choice of drinks and extensive food menu. Shared the whitebait starter and had the chef’s special gammon main course - all good quality ingredients, well seasoned and well cooked.

Very friendly locals - a testament to a good pub - would be easy to become a local here.

Hidden gem in sandgate, didn't get to eat but told food is excellent so hoping to try soon. Always very welcoming for couples and families

From the very start the service was unbelievable. Daryll was an amazing host and the food was exquisite. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this pub

Just got home after an absolutely superb meal with my wife, son and our friends. We had Sunday dinner with starters and I can honestly say the beef was so tender and the flavour in the vegetables was superb! As a big fan of Yorkshire pudding it was huge but perfectly shaped too. Fantastic service, can't wait to go back. Highly recommend

Had a lovely meal here last night, the presentation of food is good. Friendly staff and service good. Great choice of fish on the menu.

Nice friendly environment, clean welcoming, didn't try food, but intend to in the near future.
Now had two meals here, food is sublime, excellent service.
Another meal, food just as good as ever, great selection of drinks, highly recommend.
A nice lunchtime stop, legendary scotch egg followed by a fantastic burger.
And while we were in council hygiene inspector arrived, five stars, well deserved.

A new Sunday Roast in town/Sandgate! Such a change to the Providence Inn over the last couple of weeks.

The food is stunning, beautifully done with a great and wide menu including for my veggie friends. Felt like I was in a country pub but can walk home!

Absolutely loved the foods! As a tourist, do recommend it. Great flavour, fresh seafoods! Lovely service too. We had the special menu on the board!

Fantastic pub with delicious food (very well presented too!) and really friendly staff. We had a lovely lunch here today, all the food was tasty and hot. We can’t recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back!

Daryll is brilliant and the food is great. Would strongly advise you book in advance because they are always busy.

My in-laws celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary at The Providence Inn tonight with myself and my wife. The pub/restaurant had bags of character with comfortable chairs and large tables. There was a varied menu with a specials board and the food was first class, partulicularly the mussels in the seafood linguini. The service was friendly and professional and I will be returning soon ..... I just wish I lived more locally. I should also say that two glasses of champagne were presented to mum and dad in celebration of their anniversary from the owners .... a really nice touch which was totally unexpected but says so much about them.

First time customer, was driving through Sandgate looking for a quiet pub for a pint after a very windy walk on the beach.

Nice old fashioned pub, decent selection of beers and a menu full of seafood. Didn't eat as was there in there late but will revisit for a meal there soon.

Great little place. Food and staff were perfect.
