Treated my wife to an Arments pie and mash instead of going to London. The food was great, fresh, and hot. I had the seafood combo, but without the whitebait, a good selection of hot and cold. The specials board had a great selection. Will definitely be back to try out the Sunday Roast. Also it's so close to the beach.

This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint (not that we expected it to). Although crowded, a good sign, the staff team were very proactive and fast in getting our food and drinks order for a light lunch. We had Panini (different fillings) and these came out well presented along with delicious salad and crisps. If you're visiting Reculver make this a place to stop by also.

Wonderful place right next to Reculver towers. Make sure you use the pub carpark not the pay and display if using the Inn. Food excellent good range of drinks, staff are very friendly and most helpful. We'll worth a visit

Stopped by chance without a booking. Staff very welcoming and friendly, £45 for two main meals, beer, Diet Coke and service charge. Great garlic bread. Plenty of prawns in the salad but hard to find the salad, maybe a bowl not the best service choice to see what you were eating.

Very atmospheric seaside location close to the Reculver towers. We only stopped in for a drink, very pleasant pint at an outside picnic table, were very tempted to stay on once other people's food started to arrive! Particularly fancied the seafood combo!

A Thursday lunch, pint and snack. Busy which gave the place a nice buzz. One lass serving so there was a bit of a delay as a large group arrived, but she managed well, apologised for the delay. Food excellent, arrived quite quickly, we were sharing but the waitress/landlady? kindly offered an additional plate and extra salad. Only down side was that the only ale on, Theakstons bitter, was not at its best. It was passable and the barmaid did say after that she would have changed it, but it was too busy at the time hence I didn’t ask. Certainly well worth a visit.

Mark and his staff at the King Ethelbert Inn are 1st class and have always put customer service at the forefront of there pub and as a regular that is very much appreciated.I recently had my Mums wake at the King Ethelbert and Mark and his team really went out of there way to making it a memorable day with there food, drinks, customer service, there was nothing that was too much trouble and it made so much difference for my friends and family to make my Mums day a memorable one. Its a great pub whether your a day visitor, walker, cyclist, or local you always know that you will have a really nice time at the King Ethelbert Inn........Regards Barry Price

A perfect spot for hikers. We visited during a walk from Margate to Herne Bay. The King Ethelbert was 9 miles into our walk, right next door to the Reculver church ruin and Roman fort, so the perfect break for lunch just when we needed it. It's a classic locals' pub, well looked after, with an excellent menu of pub classics, and lots of canine visitors. Service was prompt, and even on a winter Saturday, it was pretty full, both inside and outside. There are a good selection of beer, including some local Kent choices. The whole atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff couldn't have been more kind or welcoming. It wasn't the day for it, but there's also a huge amount of outdoor space and parking.

Went in for Sunday roast on 24th September. Pre ordered over the phone a few days earlier so that we could be sure to get the meats we wanted. Ordered food at the bar and the roast arrived not long after the order. Unfortunately I found part of a plastic bag in my vegetables. Showed this to the young man who served us and he looked very disinterested and just said ' I just serve.. and 'do you want me to take it back'...I asked him to take it back. It seemed a while and my husband asked a female bar staff member if she could find out where the roast was. She came back and stated it was being cooked. The young man returned just as my husband and friends were finishing theirs. Totally disappointed in the whole experience as no apology or anything from any kitchen staff the server or the bar staff. It was as thought they didn't want to acknowledge their mistake and just wanted to sweep it under the carpet. We will never return and I hope people will read the review and take extra care when ordering food at this pub.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chapters Pizzeria in Canterbury, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff at Chapters Pizzeria were nothing short of incredible. Izzy and Kate, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was memorable. They were so lovely, helpful, and wonderful, making sure that every aspect of our meal was perfect. Their genuine smiles and attentive service and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch that is hard to find. The food was simply fantastic! The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a deliciously crispy crust and a perfect balance of toppings. But what truly stood out was the ice cream that Izzy made. It was absolutely divine, and with some added personal flair. Overall, Chapters Pizzeria offers a fantastic dining experience. The quality of the food, combined with the outstanding service from Izzy and Kate, makes it a must-visit spot in Canterbury. If you're looking for a place with great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional staff, look no further than Chapters Pizzeria.

We ordered a takeaway early on Saturday evening. Have been using this restaurant for 15 or so years and have never had such a poor meal, all dishes just tasted of raw chilli no subtlety of flavours whatsoever, such a shame perhaps they should review their spicing and perhaps do a little more tasting. Get back to old fashioned Chinese flavours!
