Goudhurst Restaurants

Our Christmas dinner at Essence was perfect in every way. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly served. The staff were very warm and friendly. All the thoughtful little extras were much appreciated. Everything was memorable and special and we may make this a family Christmas tradition!

Overall it was very nice but we didn’t understand why the waiter told us we couldn’t have the champagne that we had selected to have with our afternoon tea and could only have Prosecco. It was an option on the menu however, they were unable to serve it to us. The waiter mumbled something, we thought he said they couldn’t open a whole bottle of champagne for two glasses.

Great birthday lunch, great service and a real desire to give an enjoyable memorable experience! Would recommend and will no doubt return at some point!

Would highly recommend Frankies. Been to eat there a few times now and the food is very enjoyable and the setting is very welcome and the staff very helpful.

A good and welcoming place to eat. Relaxed lunch with good and helpful staff with some very good food. Highly recommended.
