We called in for lunch without a booking and were able to squeeze in, but were advised that there was a bit of a wait. This ended up being minimal and we were comfortable with drinks whilst waiting for our food order to be taken. Hot chocolate was delicious. Would be nice to see some local beers and ciders on offer rather than Moretti and Westons. The menu offers loads of amazing options, my husband ended up going for the Rubens sandwich and I had the SFS (Southern Fried Seitan) fillet burger, both of which came with chips and a side salad. Even the little side salad was excellent, the pickled radishes were incredible. Skin on chips were amaaaazing, super crispy on the outside and so fluffy inside - mega chunky too! Both dishes were sublime. I love a burger and will almost always choose a vegan burger on any menu and this was probably one of the best, if not THE best one I've tried. The seitan was perfectly cooked and the spiced crumb coating was so tasty. We live about 45 mins from Folkestone but will definitely be coming back to check out the new venue when Dr. Legumes move to the town centre.

Read moreAnother delicious meal at Dr Legumes. We do not eat here all that often but have never had a disappointing dining experience.
On this occasion there was a mixture of hail, sleet, driving rain and snow outside but we were cosily ensconced within. Unsurprisingly with the weather there was just one other group of diner's.
Check in advance about opening hours, online they were listed as opening from 11 in the morning. Knocked on the door at 11 and they said that they are open from midday.
Youngest offspring had a seitan burger & we were all (pleasantly) surprised by the texture that Dr Legumes had achieved with the seitan patty. Light and fluffy, not come across this with seitan before. Excellent. My salad was scrummy.
Thank you to the team at Dr Legumes, lovely meal watching the dramatic weather over...
