The Story of “ Marleys ”
We opened our first little Folkestone restaurant back in December 2018 . Surviving a tough climate , we ’ re incredibly excited to have relocated to this bigger venue whilst celebrating our 5th birthday , at the end of 2023 .
Mark & Charly
Meeting at uni in 2011 and instantly becoming inseperable , we quickly adopted the nickname ‘ Marley ’ by friends . After graduating , and working at some prestigious restaurants both here and abroad over the years , we finally came home and opened our very own little place . A casual and cosy feel , with detail-focused service and high food quality being priority .
We really love Kent , its beauty and the fresh produce that this ‘ Garden Of England ’ by the sea has to offer . That ’ s where we found our passion for reinventing hearty British comfort food , in a relaxed atmosphere .
We Love Local
It ’ s not just a slogan we can ’ t back up , it ’ s a unique way of running a business , and it ’ s been the foundation of Marleys from the start . To be honest – the ‘ Farm To Table ’ concept is hard . But if the reward is finding the best produce that our surroundings offer – then it ’ s totally worth it .
We know most of our suppliers by name and we ’ re proud to say we work with the best local farmers , makers , butchers and bakers in Kent .
