The Heron in Canterbury

Food very dry, seemed like it was reheated a few times

First visit for a while . People friendly , food looked good . Nice dartboards @ pool table .summer garden .next to train station,worth a visit .

Well shepherd Neame pub. No real ale!! We got spitfire (on gas) I hate gassy beer. Seems popular and cater for parties. Clean inside, tidy outside. Just outside of Herne Bay Staion.

Fabulous Sunday lunch and thank you for fitting in our extra family at the last minute

Visit with 2 friends on the way to the sea front popped in for a pint Atmosphere wasn't great not many people Nice pint

Excellent service. Did\good m and we did not have to wait for long. On arrival, it was not busy, but lots of people arrived soon afterwards and it was nearly full.

Sunday roast was delicious, and huge portions great price

Went to my friends do last night but the staff weren’t unfriendly at all. Felt like a burden whilst waiting to be served at the bar. Maybe because I weren’t a regular. I wouldn’t step one foot back in there. Good service is everything.

Great Little pub excellent food well presented as well.

We had the reception for my Aunt's funeral in this lovely family run establishment. The staff were amazing, friendly and very understanding. The food was really tasty, and a great variety. They catered for vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters. The outside space was lovely and the pub itself was intimate and private. Thank you the staff, I would fully recommend this business.

Good family pub large bar areas with good outside space good food and drink

Rats running loose all around and in the seat area.

No bitters or IPAs on tap. No atmosphere in the bar. No point on coming back.

super food plenty of it and hot

Lovely family run pub. Food is excellent,service I also excellent

Went for Sunday lunch, put on small table for two which could not accommodate the vegetable side dishes and gravy so went on the window sill, roast beef was very chewy and one piece tasted of mould, end meal told waitress about chewy beef and was ignored, we paid bill and left, never go back, pub needs updating

Nice Guinness and the food is superb. Sunday is a busy day for the roasts

Excellent food as always and very reasonable priced

Can recommend their afternoon teas. Scrumptious. The staff are warm and welcoming.

Fabulous Sunday lunch and staff so polite. Quick service will definitely go again.

Had a great steak meal cooked as ordered plus drink

Superb Christmas Meal today for our group . Really good staff and the Christmas Lunch Meal was superb . Thank you

Went for a wake, the place was dead busy... A nice traditional pub though, pool and darts loads of tables pretty clean facilities and a great garden.

A very nice roast, great service

Excellent food and service, dealing with 17 of us. Children's food very good and all food generous proportions. And a very fair price. Great way to celebrate birth of third great grandchild.

Had a really lovely Sunday Roast today. Staff very friendly, well worth the money. Thank you.x 😊

Had a lovely afternoon at the Heron today. I had the homemade lasagne the way my mum used to cook it, heavy on the mince and light on the tomato sauce. Filled me up. We were entertained FM Duo, a great local act. All ages were present today and there was simply a great feel about the place. And there was a meat raffle! This is unashamedly a proper old style British pub! We'll be going again. 😁

Loverly friendly atmosphere. The staff are helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. Will be back for Sunday dinner. :-)

A friendly place for , food , drinks and laughs always have polite staff . The pub is always good vibes when functions are going on or meals. The food is 10/10 with lots of different options and have a variety for everyone. The Sunday roasts are delicious and is always hot. The venue for parties always looks stunning and is always on point.

Friendly landlady friendly staff family atmosphere a great place to eat and drink

Popped in for a drink on our way through to the town, just finished our drinks, glasses whipped away so quickly, it was awkward, felt we had to go quickly.

Friendly staff,good selection of drinks, nice garden and a very friendly atmosphere. Menu looks good will eat next time as I was only passing

Excellent food, lovely friendly staff.

Great pub, good music, friendly and the food looked good.

Private party, as usual, warm welcome and first class buffet.

Lovely little pub, nice pool table, friendly staff

No atmosphere young girl behind behind the the bar miserable and no customer service skills won't be back again

The food is great, they cater really well for food intolerance and allergies, and the staff are helpful and friendly. It's a little weird that the decor hasn't been updated in the last 40 years, but that doesn't stop it from being a comfortable, friendly place to eat good food.

Very friendly people and service

Lovely food and drinks and friendly staff

Very nice sunday roast, lovely staff. Needs some TLC but food was great

Saw rats running outside and do the side of the pub,

Had a fabulous meal with my family. Lovely choice and good prices. Great place to eat.

Nice room provided and a lovely buffet.

Food and service was great and prices reasonable too

We visit the Heron a few times per year to meet up with family members who live in the area. We are always made to feel welcome and all the food preferences in our group are well catered for. Our recent visit was excellent as usual. The Christmas menu was very tasty and served hot and the apple and mincemeat crumble dessert was delicious. We will be back again in a couple of months.

Great atmosphere,a lovely Christmas meal, very enjoyable.

I had the pleasure of being at The Heron Pub in Herne Bay for Christmas Dinner with neighbours/friends from The Oysters. Organised for us all by Mr. Arthur Oliver. A Huge Thank you to Arthur for this. We had a fabulous service from all the staff at the Heron, who were all very efficient working well as a team. Cheerful polite and hard working all friendly people. As fir the food. Everything was of very high standard. Taste, presentation quality of food cooked to perfection. Thank you all so very much. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Without hesitation would recommend The Heron to anyone.. Helen Camilleri.

A fabulous Christmas Dinner. Excellent service in a no rush atmosphere. What more could you want x

A great Sunday lunch. Good value for money. Service friendly and attentive. Recommended starter avocado/prawn salad. Main course- generous portions delicious roast and vegetables. Highly recommended.

Very good food and service would go again....

Lovely pub nice and clean and plenty of seating and the staff were friendly and plenty of selections of drinks and also does food till 3pm and I'm sure on certain days kids eat free till 7pm but double check as I'm sure I saw a sign

This pub has a great reputation but unfortunately the day we visited there was a lack of ale or bottles of. Lager only being served. Also someone needs to inform the staff or management that the flags in the garden are back to front.

Food and Drink very reasonably priced with a great menu that ive tried.Staff are honest and friendly the food especially the meat platter was exceptional would definitely recommendations thank you from all my family xx

The food was good value for money, and was excellent. The staff were friendly, and helpful.

Beer garden very nice and comfortable. Book a afternoon tea there, l think table could have been laid out better than in a straight line.l would have put 3 in a line x 3 which would been a square andthat would have been better 3 each side, say us talking loud to each other. A lady came in and ask bottom end of if all was ok but didn't ask the people at the other end .Sandwiches had finger prints on them where they had been cut.Scones ,jam,and squeeze cream, and 7 or 8 tea bags in a pot was to many. Chocolate cup cakes not everyone likes chocolate cake so we did take them home for the kids.Could have done a lot better.

Fantastic Sunday roast and lovely outside seating area

Lovely Sunday roast. Great service too would recommend

Thank you Kim and all the staff involved in organising my dads wake Kim arranged all the photos and mementos and told me to put photos on a USB to play on the tv and everybody loved this

Nice shepherd neame pub nr herne bay station. beer good not tried food yet

Lovely staff and beautiful food lovely evening out

Nice friendly family atmosphere will be back to definitely try the food looked amazing

just had afternoon tea and the cakes were absolutely amazing.

Enjoyed our meal staff nice and friendly. Will definitely come again recommend to all.

I went to the heron for Mother’s Day lunch with a large party of 13 I must admit the food was very nice but the reason for the 1 start is that the party member that made the booking has assured us that it was communicated the establishment that one of our party had an allergy to dairy and despite this all the vegetables where coated in cheese and the fats has spread across the whole tray of veg meaning the party member with the allergy was given a portion of chicken and a couple of roast potatoes, the fact that allergies are clearly not catered for means I can not use this establishment again. For those who have no allergies this establishment is very good this is just a warning to those with food allergies proceed with caution

Hi had Sunday lunch today at the Heron PH restaurant absolutely fantastic great Roast Beef plenty of vegetables very taste and huge portions excellent value great friendly atmosphere I would definitely recommend the Apple and raspberry crumble

Just had a lovely roast beef dinner at the Heron, brilliant food, and service from friendly caring staff.

The first time in 5 years , I ventured to my "local" , not as welcoming as I remember, not as busy either , good pint of ale saved the day so I will return , sooner this time

What a lovely meal my wife and daughter and grandchildren had for the first time we have been, can't wait to return please keep up the good service

Quite dull. Limited choice of drinks. Spitfire lager isn't nice at all

Food excellent. Great staff. Always welcome Me as if it's my first visit.

It's time going to the heron, went with friends for a birthday meal... food was excellent lovely roast beef, great homemade soup and delicious twix cheesecake.. I will definitely go again

I booked the Heron function room for my husbands wake. Kim was very compassionate and understanding, she took away all the stress of the sad occasion. Kim catered a fabulous freshly cooked buffet. Our memory tree was displayed for us, we were able to use Bluetooth to enable us to play music, the room set up was great, photos were also displayed. The bar staff were fantastic and were kept very very busy all day until late! Thank you so much for all the staffs professionalism, we are really grateful. Jenny, Charlotte, Natalie and Melissa

Always such amazing food, great service and always friendly would def reccomend especially the roasts on a Sunday 😋
