The Bistro - Lympne

We chose Ruth Denzey 's 'The Bistro ' to cater for our wedding this month as we loved the idea of an afternoon tea and Ruth was the only one of our recommened suppliers that offered it. We loved the idea of afternoon tea as it 's informal, down to earth and relaxed, like us. We wanted our wedding to be 'us '. We also love afternoon tea. The slight challenge was whether Ruth would be able to cater for my fussy vegan needs and two guests who were gluten free. This challenge was accepted and successfully met. Nothing was too much trouble. After meeting Ruth at a tasting session, tasting her food and finding that she was also very down to earth and warm, like us, it was a no brainer, we had to pick Ruth. On the day of the wedding the food looked and tasted amazing! The kids boxes even matched our colour scheme which was a lovely touch. Ruth managed everything seamlessly, efficiently, and effectively, even with a late ceremony.We didn 't have to worry about anything and we didn 't have to do anything, we could just relax and enjoy the meal. This was much appreciated. We had lots of comments about how wonderful the food was. Thanks Ruth for a great afternoon tea wedding experience. I wouldn 't hestiate to recommend The Bistro, Ruth and the afternoon tea. Yum Yum.

What a fantastic little place! Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is delicious myself and my husband will be back. Would recommend this hidden gem.

I attended the French theme evening last night with my parents, the food was delicious (especially the duck which melted in your mouth), the staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Great little find. Loved our food and good wine to boot.

Lovely .. Great spot, beautiful walk with stunning views over the marsh ... Popped in for a spot of lunch after a muddy dog walk ... Super friendly and efficient staff and nice food too, we had a couple of soups and coffees ... Will definitely return ..
