Macknade Ashford

Fabulous lunch. The toasted brie sandwich was delicious as was the kimchi and egg. Waffles for dessert equally lovely.

Friendly staff.
Food lovely. Quick service.
Nice to be able to take your dog in with you.

I've visited 4 or 5 times now for breakfast so i feel I can give an objective review. The food had always been nice and the staff are lovely, but the tables are always sticky this is despite watching them being cleaned! There are not enough staff to cover all the tables. The bell for service is constantly ringing and it can see the chefs becoming increasingly frustrated that this is going cold.

I had the yummiest lunch here today. We with a couple of work peeps. We had some wine....naturally, one person ordered the vegetarian breakfast and that looked amazing, halloumi, avocado, the most delicious looking runny fried egg, beans, mushrooms and tomatoes with some toast, the other had Parmigiana which came with some garlic bread. I have a toasted New York Deli Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I'm not sure on the overall costs but my sarnie was £8 and the fries £4 or thereabouts and the wine was £15 something for a 500ml carafe.
The venue was clean and tidy and was busy. I didn't use the toilet facilities so can't comment on those. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Service was prompt and the food was service quickly and it was hot and delicious.

It took ages to get served and the sausage butty with sourdough was very dry and the sausages were grainy and their skin tough. The lemonade was very watery, but the coffee and the restaurant were nice though. Prices were reasonable but if they can't get the basics right I won't be going back. Shame as it looked to have potential.

Great place to do some groceries shopping in Ashford. Great quality and good presentation. You can also grab a bite if you want, including a cafeteria and a proper "bar" where you can have a proper meal if you want to. The space is not as good as the main Macknade in Faversham, but still manages to keep the quality, just a little less variety.

Love the products you can buy in there all feels very artisan and deluxe. Service was poor first visit as I think they were understaffed and the waitress and cook kept arguing but second time round service was great and speedy. Good in there is lovely and look forward to going again. Would recommend the hot chocolate and the rarebit next time!

Our first time at Macknade’s. The food hall is packed with some interesting stuff but tad bit overpriced. It’s a good place for a quick bit or brunch 😁
