Asda Canterbury in Canterbury

Ok, so the cafe in Canterbury opens @ 8:30, however drinks only! the food is unavailable until 9 am ! the person behind the counter was dressed as if she had just got of her sofa. No uniform did not want to interact with customers. Asda if this is how you run your stores no wonder you are losing market share. Where is the management?? Store standards !? Shame there isn’t 0 star rating

Thought i would visit the cafe after shopping in asda, when greeted the staff were very polite and happy to assist me with everything i needed, i also needed assistance with my drink which the blonde young staff member was happy to assist with, food was lovely and arrived promptly, i will be coming back again

Lovely staff! place look cleanest it’s ever been!! food was quick and hot good prices and selections would come back easy stop after a long shop.

Just had lunch here, was very disappointed, food was cold and hard, really not a great experience! Shame as normally the food is great and hot, staff don't seem bothered!

I have been visiting for around a year, only ever had drinks and ice creams occasionally. The cafe has a odd smell, and tables and drink areas arent too clean. Has improved in last 6months, as in July 2023 I visited and saw brown "stuff" on a seat, as well as hundreds of flies, alive and dead all in a cobweb in the corner of the seating area. One of the members of staff is very friendly and upbeat, telling me to get the largest drink when i had earned a free one! If you need a simple tea after a week shop, this is a decent place to go, would reccomend you take it away (also why is it all disposable cutlery and tableware)

We visited your in store cafe this morning around 9.30…the member of staff was helpful & pleasant, though her uniform? baggy cardigan (which is a complete no no for food hygiene) was covered in food, but the whole place was filthy, all the tables need to be cleaned, the drinks area was also dirty. The seats were covered in food debris. The breakfasts arrived on the flimsiest paper plates that if the food was actually hot could have burnt or scolded you if you picked them up. Most of the condiment sections were dirty and empty. It’s worrying that if this is the standard of the customer side what are the kitchen standards like. It’s a bleak soulless area.

Good things about breakfast deal for £6 were tasty hash brown and excellent white coffee. Egg, beans and bacon OK. Sausage poor quality - needs upgrading which wouldn't cost much more to the company and this could lift breakfast to a higher level. Thick toast would be nice (or offered as an option). Dispo plates and wood cutlery a good idea for hygiene reasons.

It smells of dirty dishcloths, all seems very dirty, food was of a poor quality . The only positive thing was the staff were friendly,

The cutlery that was meant to be clean was disgustingly filthy one of the forks was covered in bean juice so we had to purchase a coke just so that we were able to wash out cutlery in it before we ate. When we asked for clean cutlery the staff member just grunted at us then brought out more dirty cutlery. The food was horrible and way overpriced we could have eaten at a nice place for the same price. The staff all look and act like they hate their jobs

Visited at 11.40 with 20 mins left of breakfast theyd run out of all breakfast items apart from saussage, which i cannot eat due to allergies, so i asked if i could have something off the dinner menu she told me no because its still breakfast, so i asked if she could make me toast or maybe put on some hash browns and she replied no and just repeted herself that breakfast ends soon so wont cook anything else. Which is fine but the attitude had to of been the worst ive ever come across, maybe customers can and left with nothing after asking for simple breakfast items or asking to pre order dinner items and she would either say . No because breakfast ends soon. Or . No because lunch hasnt started. Visited on 23rd march 2023 larger lady with black top on served me and my mother, then laughed and slagged off the customers that came and left asking for dinner items since she was out of breakfast ones

Terrible food we had the toastie and chips deal chips inedible and the toastie was only toasted on one side definitely awful

Awful serviawful service food was horrible and they ask us to hurry up becuse they was closing but they didn't tell us they was closing staff are rude ordered the chips and sandwiches the chips was burnt and rock and there was a hair in my food make me feel sick but there wasn't any kids hot food it for the £1 deal not happy

Called in here today for quick bite to eat whilst shopping. Waited a while to be served, member of staff walking about speaking on the phone. Noticed me at the counter waiting and ignored me. Then she went back to the back office area and continued the conversation for a short while. Came to serve me, with no apology. Quite an abrupt manner when asking, as if I was delaying her. Ordered a bacon roll and sausages in a roll. No spread was applied, just two pats of butter to do it yourself, after the filling has been put in !! So glad to leave this place. It used to be ok before the change of company. A cold bleak cafe with attitudes to match. AVOID.

We visited here again, granted the staff were a little distracted the day we went but soon apologised and took our orders , we found a seat and as usual the food came out and we had zero complaints at all! Those that are complaining about the paper cups and plates would soon complain more if they had to wait for a plate and that it would be cold. The paper gets recycled and helps the planet out. This place is for a quick fill up before/after your shop if you are looking for a cafe experience then go elsewhere , this is a more of a do it yourself cafe and you need a little patience, not once have we had bad food here. The prices are more than reasonable , what you pay here is barely the cost of a meal at a restaruant and theres more of it too. If you are dining here for the first time keep an open mind and have a little patience , it's value food with a slower service. You go to the cafe for a quick fill up not a sit in restaruant .

Would have preferred to have left no stars - dreadful experience , trollies blocking entrance and exit, servers couldn't even be bothered to make eye contact, dirty cups presented, and returned, will not make a return visit. Disgusted

The first time at Asda cafe at Canterbury i ordered three breakfasts for me & my sons when it arrived on disposable plates it was cold the Sausages & bacon wasn’t cooked the so called toast wasn’t toasted the tea was served in disposable cups we sent it back & I got my money back.

Firstly for all those connoisseurs of food expecting a fancy dining experience you should go else where. This food court is a cheap and no frills deal and in that mind set the quality and service will be as you expect with the prices,it makes a quick fill up as you shop, it isn't designed to be a restaruant and reading some reviews here people seem to lack a little thing called patience.We've eaten here a few times and all the food and service is consistent and we've never had a problem if anything the staff probably have to serve and prepare many orders and also do other tasks behind the scenes they deserve praise for their effort and im sure they would be happy to help if there was a problem ( again we've never had a problem) This place is a good little pit stop to fuel up before/during/after your shop just remember it is what you pay for and keep an open mind.

Had breakfast on Saturday very good value and food. The only thing that was a bit of putting was the polystyrene plate and plastic cutlery.

Nice to visit when shopping. There is a good variety of cooked fast food as well as pizza slices, hot out of the cabinet.

Came here for a quick bite to eat mid afternoon...3.30 pm. Asked for 2 bacon rolls but we're told they are not allowed to cook bacon or sausages after 12..noon!!!! Completely obsurd. Very slow service and little choice unless you are happy with pizza. We ended up with a tea cake. Plastic plates/cutlery etc. The height of laziness in this day and age when we are trying to step away from plastic disposables. Looks like a cheap old diner from years back. Only 1 coffee machine working. Dreadful place to come if you want something half decent. Won't bother coming here again.

Oh cielos, ¿por dónde empiezo? Estaba comprando en Asda y pensé que probaría el desayuno. Ojalá no me hubiera molestado. Fue horrible, tocino seco, salsa ketchup de sabor amargo, el hash browns sabía que estaban cocidos en aceite sucio y La coca cola era un complemento plano en el malhumorado personal malhumorado y fue una experiencia muy desagradable a toda costa.

Me and my partner came here to study in the cafe and got a bit peckish. Ordered pizza, came within a reasonable time and was immense! Tastes just like the ones from dominos, if not better. Thanks girls :)

Mi pareja y yo queríamos probar este nuevo café en Asda Livingston.Se abrió hace un par de semanas, así que pensamos que todos los problemas que vienen con un nuevo lugar se resolverían.Ambos queríamos lo mismo para el desayuno, los dos pedimos huevos escalfados en una tostada, pero nos dijeron que el fabricante de la caza furtiva no estaba funcionando.¿Seguramente una cacerola de agua hirviendo es todo lo que necesitas para escalfar algo? ? ?

There seemed to be one poor lady working so hard completely alone but this has resulted in a hash brown that was so overcooked it actually hurt to bite it, burnt toast and just a miserable looking and tasting plate of food.

Its our local Asda and have to say the food is very good at very cheap prices, clean and well run there

Poor choice ,not very clean, paper plates, plastic cutlery , coffee is brown hot water. Manager has a big dirty beard with no net on it

Mimo, że rzadko jadam w takich barach to jedzenie w tym miejscu nie było takie złe :) musieliśmy szybko coś zjeść przed drogą i padło właśnie na Asde. ceny nie są wygórowane a obsługa bardzo miła i sprawna, szczególnie polecam mini kiełbaski :).

Vine aquí un sábado. Pedí el desayuno con tostadas, mantequilla y té. 4.

Comenzaré con lo bueno, las pizzas son preciosas y muy baratas a las 6 para una gran pizza (aunque limitada en variedad de ingredientes), el personal es agradable y educado, y las bebidas gaseosas son recargables.

Horrible the food is dried up Then it is on plastic plates with plastic cutlery. Very bad for a large supermarket won.t eat there again

what a mistake we made by having some lunch here. Bad service, barely edible food so avoid at all costs.We only noticed a GREGGS across the road and we would have gone there. NEVER AGAIN.

food was ok ish staff are rude ordered the express breakfast eggs came out as scrambled not poached as menu said when asked why not poached and scrambled staff muttered something bout health and safety when said she should inform customers she muttered sorry like it was a huge effort also all food no matter what you order is served on polystyrene plates and as knives and forksare plastic and food took 30 mins to arrive

My husband and I with our toddler come here once a week for pizza as the price is really good always made fresh and constant with quality.

I used to have lunch at this cafe quite often but now not very happy as it only seems to serve pizza. No more fish and chips, or meat pie, or chicken and chips. It wasn't the best place to eat but only pizza is a bit limiting. Wouldn't recommend unless you like pizza, even then it's not very nice. Will only stop for a coffee in future.

Words cannot describe how truest terrible this was, so much so I was so relieved McDonalds was only yards away.

This is without doubt the worst place I have ever gone to eat. To be fair, a huge clue that should have got me walking away was the fact that at lunch time, in a really busy setting there were plenty of empty tables to be had. It laughingly calls itself the 'Express Diner', this would imply a level of high speed and efficiency, this could be nothing further from the truth. After waiting for nearly 15 minutes behind only one customer I was nearly served but the member of staff was then distracted by someone who had gone to the other end of the counter and seemed to be complaining about his food. At this point I turned and walked away, got into my car drove to the other side of the city and was ordering food in another cafe in less time than I'd nearly got served in the Asda Express Diner. Whole place is a shame really, as the prices are cheap, the pizza looked nice, but with slow service, dirty tables, food served on paper plates, I'm not going back. Best advice, if you're really hungry, buy a sandwich in the store and eat it in your car.

This restaurant wasn't too bad with reasonable prices but now it's been altered pits really terrible. Semi cold pizza looks very unapertising and rates worse. Coffee thirst quenching but that's about all. Do not recommend. Tables always need clearing. Uninterested staff. Just there for something to do attitude.

Went to the local Asda in Canterbury today with my boyfriend in hopes that we might be able to get a bite to eat for breakfast. We walked in and the staff were lovely albeit a bit slow. We ordered our food, one vege express breakfast and one normal express breakfast.

Deliciosa pizza fresca y sabrosa, infinidad de café o bebidas frías. Justo lo que necesitábamos y con servicio rápido amable. Increíble relación calidad-precio.

Si quieres un desayuno económico, entonces no busques más. Es lo que es, buena relación calidad-precio, el café es sorprendentemente buena

Fuimos a Asda CANTERBURY con mi hija para conseguir algo de ropa para ella los niños pequeños. Pensamos que habría primer desayuno.

Con la mayoría de cosas de precio de alrededor de £1 no puedo creer el valor! A menudo nos dan una de las gigantes £6. 50 pizzas para llevar a casa y tiene más que suficiente para alimentar a los 4! El personal es amable.

I know and understand the idea is cheap and quick food but really the only good thing here is the staff. There was a late middle aged woman on duty who was friendly and efficient-just isn't given the tools to do better. Apart from her the whole thing is like you see in prison documentaries. You queue up and get served food that has been kept hot under heat lamps. You get served mediocre portions onto plastic plates and given plastic cutlery. Tea is a cup and teabag you have to do the rest yourself. I had a breakfast - a portion of butter for a slice of toast and have you ever tried spreading butter from a fridge with plastic knives? You are sat at plastic tables placed so close to the next one. Then are expected to clear up after yourself-all the plastic stuff in the bin and tray on a shelf. I'm not going to start a riot with inmates from f wing so at least deserve China plates and metal cutlery as a minimum!

I Have Been to the cafe previously and the food had been quite stale and there was nothing much to the menu. Since then the restaurant has undergone a renovation ( pictured above). after shopping at the store i visited the cafe and i was pleasantly surprised at the renovation and the food at the store. i thoroughly enjoyed the food and was pleased with the cleanliness of the cafe. i fed the family lunch at this cafe for £10.00 !! BARGAIN !! On A Budget Dine Here !

Had visit Asdas cafe in Tilbury with my husband. Had a lovely late lunch in there. Very clean place and food was nice and fresh. Very impressive service must say. The laydies were very polite and nice. Especially one of the blond ladies(forgot the name sorry) was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for making our little lunch very enjoyable. We definitely will be returning.

I went shopping here just before Christmas the staff was so helpful thank you asda for sorting out my dinner it was lovely so was your staff very jolly great Christmas dinner well worth the money

canot really sum up the words to describe,the food,the coffee,the service in this place..i have tried it several times,each time hoping for an improvement..SADLY NOTfood is awful,the coffee ?? well..i cannot find 1 good reason to go here again.

Seriously. I have literally never enjoyed a cuppa as much as the cup o'delight which I nobbled at 2am in Asda Cafe. Slurp.

Food can't fault and cheap . But tables not wiped as soon as customer leaves we had to use with marks on table . All ketchup bottles empty had to get up and leave food and ask for sauce . A lot of waiting at counter seems disorganised . But staff appeared friendly room for improvements

I couldn't believe it! The cost of the food. I took my son and we both had pizza and a drink. The pizza was gorgeous and so big. £1.50 a slice. We both had a coke which we could fill up as much as we wanted. £1 each. The total was £5, which was fantastic. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. They had a laugh whilst serving which made a difference. Since the cafe has changed it is bright and colourful. I really like it.

I went into Asda Café for a Chicken Dinner and was told sorry we don't have that any more !!!! You can have Pizza.

What a disappointing revamp. The cafe was always a good stop after shopping for a coffee and snack. Unfortunately the revamp is now like a fast food outlet. Gone are the traditional snacks like sandwiches and toasted sandwiches and traditional main courses. There is now a lot of pizza and bacon or sausage baps.The menu is very limited.Cutlery, cups and plates are all disposable. This seems environmentally bad compared to their previous pottery crockery and metal cutlery.It seems to be appealing to a younger customer and I saw quite a few possible customers walk away upon seeing the menu. I won't return. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Well where do I start? Service was so slow I lost weight only 2 people in front of us,the café was almost empty at 1pm lunchtime now I know why. I ordered an omelette and wife ordered fish coujons. No cutlery to be found so had to ask. When the food came the coujons ended up as fish fingers unlike the picture, my omelette was like a piece of rubber and inedible. Sorry won't be going there again.

Have been here many many times - ALL THE GUYS HAVE BEARDS - ( always makes me laugh ! ) and are sooo friendly - a lovely place - Good choice of homecooked food ( although sometimes either a little stodgy - or cold ) and decent coffee - Good seating and handy after a shop !

My sister and I had beef lasagna, chips and salad, reasonable price and cooked just they way we like it, staff friendly without being too overbearing. The seating area is quite nice and bright (looks better than the cafe in Folkestone).

coffee was good. soup & a sandwich deal, was good value for money. clean tables & quick service. pleasant staff

Very good value for money range of meals here including breakfast, lunch and a selection of cakes and scones.

After trapsing around the city centre we needed some extras from the supermarket on the way home. Then we thought - ah brunch ! - the three of us went in and ordered from 2 friendly staff.Quite happy to make reasonable changes to the set breakfasts - Not everyone eats eggs or mushrooms as in my case. Sat down with a cup of tea/coffee and a decent plate of comfort food. Sometimes a fry up is the only option after a heavy day before. I wouldn't say it was fantastic but sometimes you have to have realistic expectations - these met mine. I would certainly return.

We often have a cuppa & sometimes lunch here before doing some grocery shopping. Staff are pleasant & fairly quick at serving food. Cafe is light & bright. Reasonably priced.

I will never return to this cafe again. The only reason i went here for lunch in the first place was because me and my partner were doing a food shop and both of us were very hungry. I would have rather gone hungry. The service was beyond slow! Two people seemed to be manning the till but serving food, re-filling the hot food on display (which looked like it had been sitting there all day), running off to the back of the kitchen all with customers standing there waiting to be served or waiting for their food! More staff is definitely needed to keep up with the demand! They had put up a new menu but they didnt seem to have any of the items available?! Bit odd seeming as they are in the middle of a supermarket! After asking for 3 different things i ended up just having the soup...which ended up being the smallest bowl of soup i have ever had! Should have just got a tin of heinz soup off the shelf! Saved me my money and would of had more to eat! The seating area is filthy, food all on the floor, mess left on the tables, no clean napkins and didn't see anyone cleaning up! Probably left up to the two poor people that seemed to be doing everything! Just a very unpleasant visit and improvements are in serious need!

This used to be a decent cheap and cheerful breakfast but not any more.Sausages are now a cheap low meat content and full of cereal would be better if they gave 2 instead of 3 and used a better quality has they used to. Bacon was overcooked and dry. Beans were watery. The whole thing looked a mess on the plate just thrown on the plate. You used to get toast . Coffee and juice included not any more. Its cheaper and better to go to the cafe just up the road and far better

Had breakfast twice now in coffee shop very nice girls always very helpful and polite value for money fast service will go again

We shop in ASDA often, recently purchased a meal 4 two which was £4.75---Mousaka & also cauliflower cheese @ £2.50 veg for our evening meal today. We normally got for a quick drink early doors and pick up a Chinese takeaway on the way home only a short walk home from pub. What a disappointment, but lesson learned won't do it ever again. the Mousaka looked very presentable in its container, but when served out of the oven it was a pile of slope, no visible aubergine no substance to the layers similar to lasagne,it was similar to sloppy mashed potato in gravy absolutely awful, the cauliflower cheese veg at £2.50 cooked for thirty minutes as instructed was not al dente whatsoever, it was raw. All in in all what a terrible disappointment from Asda, we won't be doing this again, we will just be boring and get a chinese takeaway from approx three pounds more from our local takeaway which is excellent..

Asda have a large store off the Sturry Road, with a café which made my 70 minute visit less tiring. First in for a decaff coffee cheerfully supplied with iced bun by the welcoming Belinda. She stamped my card for future free 8th coffee, before I added water at the drinks station. Back later for a hot lunch, which consisted of a meat pie, choice of vegetables and new potatoes or chips. .About four hot dishes on offer, and a vegetarian option, plus the expected range of sandwiches and cakes .Could offer more salads, but this is the city's least affluent area so seeing two OAPs sharing a plate of chips is not unknown. I had found a fruit pack in the store which was my desert. A clean café but unsure why the tray stackers had no rungs to place any on. If in the area, Burger Kings is long gone, so Asda it will be at present levels of food and service.

Nice breakfast good veggie options. Had to wait a while for it but very cheap and well worth a visit if you want a cheap breakfast.

It was, what it was, supermarket food, reasonably priced, average taste, poor ambiance. Unhappy staff who could not care whether they served you or not. Coffee machine without instructions.

I would never usually review a supermarket cafe but was so impressed by the food and particularly by the very friendly staff who couldn't do enough to make me feel welcome, they more than deserve a mention on trip advisor so well done asda and keep it up I will definitely return.

One really would not expect to find a restaurant located in a supermarket, but nowadays, almost anything can happen. This restaurant is actually rather good. The breakfast that I ordered was nicely cooked, and of good quality, although there was not that much of it, (more toast helped, in that respect), and the coffee was excellent. the whole place was also very clean. If you are in the area, why not give it a try - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
