It is good to see lots of information on where you can eat in Dover on this page...... BUT...... some of the places listed are no longer open, some are not restaurants at all and some have changed hands. Could this list be regularly checked so that it is up to date and maybe carry a link to a restaurant/cafe's website if appropriate? Just a suggestion

Many thanks

This is by way of a test. We have activated this area so that the posts will be spotted more easily. When a post is made this section will pop to the top of the page in the ALL RECENT FEATURES section. Its by way of making it a bit more active if people want to post about their favourite restaurants or their favourite nights out, their posts will be more readily spotted. We have sort of amalgamated our old archives into the more modern setup. Many thanks to Chris Tutthill as ever for the extra work.

If anyone has any queries let me know.

Tez the County Hotel was already there included in our list, but have now added the name Christo's to it ...thanks for that info. County Hotel is under C rather than The. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope they do well over there, they've had a lot of uncertainty to contend with over the DTIZ development.

Thankyou for earlier post God !lol We can always use a bit of help from on high!

How about Christo's at the County Hotel Paul?? Really had an enjoyable experience down there today and its open to non hotel guests, see below:

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post about our experience today at one of Dover's restaurants.

For a change we decided to go out for Mothers Day and booked in for the Mothers Day menu at Christo's Restaurant in the County Hotel. We've never actually been there before as we've never been inspired by the outside of the hotel being that is hidden below Burlington House but once you've stepped inside you have entered a clean, well decorated and welcoming place. All the staff at the restaurant are welcoming and there for your every need. First of all we went in the bar for a drink and were welcomed by the barman who had an asortment of drinks for you to enjoy and then we enjoyed the ambience of the bar which was clean, welcoming and well decorated with pot plants and wood pannelling.
Afterwards we were taken from the bar and into Christo's Restaurant where we were all made welcome. The waitresses were very quick are taking down our orders and also very nice to their customers. The room itself is huge and cleanly decorated with wooden pannelling on the walls, and artistic pieces of work to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The view outside where we were as well was nice even with Townwall Street outside as we could see the seafront.
All the food was freshly prepared with fresh vegetables and an asortment of meat for the carvery - beef, turkey and pork as well as a vegetarian tart option that my mum really enjoyed. The chef was also really helpful in helping us dish up our food and allowing us time to choose what we wanted and try new options.
The whole place is welcoming, friendly and has a warm atmosphere. You do not feel rushed and are allowed to relax and enjoy the food cooked on the premises and just have a nice time in a very nice setting.
Even though the outside is unappealing, the inside is welcoming and friendly, the staff are the same and extremely helpful and the food enjoyable.
I recommend Christo's at the County Hotel to anyone and give it 10/10 as we also very much hope to go down there again. Todays menu of a starter (we had soup), carvery (turkey/beef/pork or vegetarian option) and a desert (strawberry cheesecake/chocolate gateau or lemon merangue) plus tea/coffee with chocolates at the end cost £12 each and I very much recommend you all look for the deals as the place is really nice.

Humble apologies, you have.

You haven`t got the Christian tea room down Paul.

The reason The Arlington wasn't on the list was that they had closed down and the restaurant had been empty for at least six months to my knowledge, I hope the meal in December was as good as previous. Thanks for the info I will contact them for their opening times etc.

Didn't see it mentioned on your list but me and the wife went to The Arlington along Snargate street the other night, had a great meal and great service, although it was a quiet night with only 2 other guests it was a really enjoyable evening.

And before you ask, we have booked a night in December, we are both having the Festive menu
