The Orchards Cafe

There is no getting away from the fact that this is the cafeteria for the Research Institute staff rather than a cafe where you might come for a cup of tea and cake. However the staff are very welcoming and the food of good quality and they are happy to see visitors from outside. Prices are on the lower than normal side.

Very nice cafe great cakes at sensible prices always good service plenty of freshly cooked dishes and salads available at lunchtime.

Excellent, food value for money, very varied choice and very clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.

Good value cakes ,sometimes let down by serving Luke warm coffee depends on who is serving you.

Not widely known that this great cafe is open to the public. Good food friendly staff. So close to Kent's renowned research orchards.

Had a classic Full English breakfast here for a business networking event. Lovely surrounds with heritage apple growing for research. The apple juice was great!

Staff are friendly and efficient, nice range of cakes and pastries, coffee is good too.

Expensive compared to food that is served. Did not enjoy the environment either.
