The Blazing Donkey is set deep in the Kent countryside – a stone’s throw from the ancient port town of Sandwich, a short drive from the channel gateway of Dover and just over an hour from London by road and rail. We are also a great base for golf stays and visiting the Cathedral city of Canterbury or seaside towns of Ramsgate, Deal, Margate or Broadstairs. You might, however, not want to leave! We are great for Staycations in Kent too.
Eating at The Blazing Donkey is popular with local residents as well as guests. Our menu comes with a huge amount of relaxed charm, rather than fuss and formality. Our choices are all delicious without pretension and entirely locally sourced. In the Summer you can enjoy the freshest ingredients in the open air. In the Winter you can find comfort with nourishing hearty dishes by our inviting roaring fires.
Our head chef and the kitchen staff create food experiences guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Our service will keep it there throughout your time with us too. We might not be the best place to count calories, but we do get the best out of Kent ingredients. You won’t forget our delicious British menu or winning wine and drinks list in a hurry.
