  “Nice little carriage dog friendly. Risotto was good but far too salty. English wine good but expensive. Never like a service charge added but would probably come back”

  “The food was great but we waited 45 minutes for our starters to come out. The staff were obviously embarrassed but at the prices they charge it’s not really acceptable. Waiting staff are lovely though”

  “One of my favourite restaurants in Folkestone! In a unique setting in train carriages with wonderful views of the harbour. I’ve been here 3 times now and never been disappointed, food is always exceptional and staff are always very friendly.”

  “Really really stunning. View exceptional, food exceptional, service beyond. The level of detail to this place on the harbour is incredible. To the fish plates for platters to realizing the flies were bothering us outside and moving us in without us even saying anything to them. Amazing service I can't recommend enough. Thank you for the lovely lunch”

  “We took a train from London to Folkestone and after a nice walk around the artistic streets we came to the beautiful restaurant. Located on the Harbour arm and build as a refurbished train carriage, it offers a wide variety of seafood options. The wait was a bit long as with any busy day. The stuff was great and friendly. The food was top noch quality. I woukd strongly recommend you to go here if you are spending a day in this beautiful.”

  “An Absolute Gem in Folkestone! I visited She Sells Sea Shells yesterday, on 6 August 2026, arriving just half an hour before their closing time. I was fully prepared to be turned away, but I was amazingly surprised by the cheerful and welcoming staff who served me without a moment's hesitation. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I ordered the shrimp cocktail (which you can see in my photo)—it was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. I also had the crispy fried squid bites (please see another pic), which were perfectly cooked, golden, spicy, and completely satisfying alongside the fresh salad. I was genuinely overwhelmed by both the exceptional quality of the seafood and the wonderful, kind attitude of the team. It is rare to find such genuine hospitality at the very end of a long day. Thank you so much to the lovely staff for a fantastic meal. I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Folkestone!”

  “We happened to be there on a weekend. We approached the restaurant. They asked us how many people there were. There were three of us and a dog. We were told that unfortunately there were no seats, although there were a lot of free tables outside, including some that hadn't been cleared. Some had reservation signs, but the rest didn't. We were told that they were all booked and that it wouldn't be possible to eat there today. Obviously, the staff just didn't want to bother. Good restaurants usually offer to seat you at a reserved table before your reservation time. But here, customer focus abandoned this place. Apparently, the teenagers didn't want to bother. If there had been no seats, they wouldn't have asked us how many there were, even though literally all of us were standing in front of them.”
