If you’re looking for places to eat in Dover, here’s what you can find at St James.

Nando’s: settle in for lunch or dinner

When you want to sit down and spend some time over a meal, Nando’s at St James Dover is an option for everything from a lunchtime catch-up to dinner with the family.

Flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken is the main attraction, with a choice of spice levels and sides to help you build your meal. If your group includes someone who enjoys a little heat and someone who prefers things mild, everyone can choose their own approach.

Taco Bell: a change from your usual lunch

There are days when you want something quick but fancy a change from your regular sandwich. Taco Bell in Dover offers tacos, burritos and quesadillas, giving you another option for lunch or a casual evening bite.

German Doner Kebab: for a filling food stop

If you’ve worked up an appetite, German Doner Kebab at St James offers kebabs, wraps and bowls, with salad, sauces and sides.

It’s another option for a casual lunch or evening meal, whether you’re meeting someone or stopping for food while you’re already in town.

Burger King: a familiar favourite

Sometimes you know exactly what you’re in the mood for. Burger King brings burgers, fries and drinks to the St James food line-up, offering a familiar option when you want a straightforward meal.

When you’re choosing somewhere to eat with children, familiarity can help make the decision easier. There’s something to be said for keeping lunch simple so you can get on with enjoying the rest of your day.

Costa Coffee: make time for a catch-up

Not every outing needs to revolve around lunch or dinner. A coffee with a friend, a break during a shopping trip or a few minutes to yourself can be reason enough to stop.

Costa Coffee at St James Dover offers coffee, other drinks and something light to eat, making it a useful meeting point when a full meal isn’t on the cards.

Greggs: pick up something on the go

When your day is moving quickly, Greggs offers sandwiches, savoury bakes, sweet treats and hot drinks to take with you.

Kaspa’s: make dessert part of the plan

A meal doesn’t have to end when the plates are cleared. If you fancy something sweet, Kaspa’s in Dover serves waffles, crêpes, sundaes and milkshakes.

You can make it the next stop after dinner or arrange a visit just for dessert. An afternoon treat with the children, a catch-up with friends or a shared love of waffles are all perfectly good reasons to go.
