The Little Old Toll House Cafe, at Allington Lock on the River Medway

About

A glorious little café, right beside Allington Lock. It has comfortable chairs and tables including deckchairs and blankets when the weather allows.

There is NO inside seating but the outside is so lovely you wouldn't want to sit inside - everything is alfresco.

Drinks are available in stylish branded paper cups or you can bring your own crockery!

Hot food including Cornish pasties, Sausage Rolls & Pies with lots of vegan and gluten free options - Seasonal changes include Ice Creams and milkshakes April - October.

 

To find it walk north along the river bank from Kent Life, Malta Inn or the Premier Inn and cross over the weir towards the little island in the middle of the River Medway. This is where the Toll House is located on its own little island.

There is no access to Car Parking.

 

Open Everyday - ALL Weathers

October - April Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm Weekends 8am - 4pm April - October 8am - 7pm EVERYDAY
