    We had the most fabulous meal at The Jetty! Everything was wonderful, from the delicious food to the lovely Kent wine. The sharing board was a real treat, especially the gorgeous butter that came with it – such a lovely touch. To top it all off, they surprised us with the most gorgeous chocolate board wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect way to finish a special meal. Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere and genuinely thoughtful service. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for making our anniversary so special! ❤️

    Easy and simple instructions on how to collect your food. Service was great and we didn't feel rushed nor were we sat with our plates in front of us for ages after we finished. Food was outstanding and truffle fries actually came with their own sauce within the fries which was delicious. Our 1-year-old was happy in her highchair and enjoyed the fries. Very reasonably priced and decent-sized portions. Would highly recommend and will be going back again.
