What makes the She Sells Sea Shells so unique?

Well, for starters the restaurant is made of multiple vintage train carriages that have been decorated in a classic style. The renovated Pullman train carriages are located on the Folkestone Harbour Arm and overlook the beautiful Kent seaside.

Each carriage houses a shabby chic table and lots of eclectic pieces of furniture from antique mirrors to flowers, seashore shells and more.

There is also an outdoor area for those who want to enjoy their meal and cocktails overlooking the magnificent stretch of the sea.

What’s on the menu?

Tuck into a small menu of sumptuous dishes from the finest & freshest local moules to steaks, and lobster.

You’ll really get a taste of the coast in so many different ways! She Sells Sea Shells is known for its famous Moules. Keep it classic with the Moules Marinere – it’s steamed with white wine, garlic butter, cream & parsley or sprinkle a fusion of south-east Asia into your dish when you choose the Thai style Moules. You can also choose from Dutch-style, Arabiatta or Roquefort.

Sharpen your steak knives and hush your tummies for the 6oz fillet! This is the only steak on the menu but the finest of them all… Drizzled in Seashells steak sauce with chapel down Bacchus, cream & roasted black garlic, it makes for a lip-smacking treat! You can enjoy this meal with fries & salad.

And last but not least, the lobster! The Lobster is locally sourced from Folkestone trawlers. You’ll get served up 1/2 lobster with garlic butter served with fries & caviar garnished salad. Is your mouth watering yet?

And as for drinks, enjoy everything for draught beer, wine (fizzy and still), and plenty of soft drinks to keep you nice and cool in the sunshine.
