If you check my reviews, you know I am hard to please. This place cooked great food, plus it was nice and cosy.I highly recommend the roast turkey, it was fantastic. The roast salmon took a bit longer but the staff brought us the turkey first and extra plates for us to get started on the turkey first. The salmon was cooked to perfection as well. Brilliant place to grab food on Dover.

Stop by this great place to grab breakfast in Dover! The food was affordable and tasty. The all-day breakfast selection is varied, with vegetarian options as well as the ability to order a sandwich or a full breakfast. The waitstaff and chef are very friendly and quick to chat if you're in the mood. The restaurant is decorated in lots of Charlie Chaplin paraphernalia and memorabilia, from figurines to pictures to a hate & cane combo. Location-wise, it is walkable to most sights in Dover and the train (10 min. walk).

The food was amazing and absolutely delicious. The prices were very reasonable. The service though was somehow even more impressive than the aforementioned food and prices as Simona provided one of the most delightful service experiences ever. She was super lovely and friendly. Highly recommend coming here.

When me and my partner venture to Dover we always get a breakfast at Chaplin's. The service is always warm and friendly and they always go out of their way to cater to our specific dietary needs which is gluten and dairy free! We had the option to take away and eat in our hotel room. The breakfast as always is always tasty with fresh and well cooked ingredients and affordable. We love Chaplin's!
