The Old Weavers Restaurant in Canterbury

I had a great experience at The Old Weavers Restaurant in Canterbury. The duck and apricot pie I ordered was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was amazing too. Tarnie, our waitress, was so friendly and helpful. She even recommended some great places to visit in town while I was here. Definitely a place I’d visit again!

Early evening meal with friends. The food was really good . Big menu to choose from. We all had something different. The service was prompt and friendly . Didn't have to ask for more drinks. The waitress was always checking if we were ok . Recommend if you got theatre tickets as it's a short walk from the Marlow theatre.

Hina Mustana is very professional, at the same time very friendly and good at her job. Her service is excellent.

Book early, as you won't get in. Queues were out the door. The food is lovely, traditional English food and warming on a winter day. Plenty of choice. Good size portions and great value for money. The atmosphere in an old house converted to a restaurant is charming (an old fashioned word, but exactly right). Looking forward to a return visit. I marked down the service a little as it was so busy they naturally were a little slow at the beginning.

Great food and service from our waitress Tarnie.

Love the banoffee pie and great service by Tarnie

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. The atmosphere is cozy, It is beautifully decorated, and was a great experience. We ordered the steak and mushroom pie and veg soup, and both were amazing. I wish i lived here so i could come all the time and I will be trying to replicate this meal at home!!!

Very classic place, the food is very well served, good size portions, very well prepared, the starters are good, they are served quickly as they should be, the main dishes also came out at a good time, and the waiters are very efficient and fast, but The best thing is that they are very friendly! The place is very old and that is the best, only that there are items that look dirty and neglected, I think they should improve that

Excellent service. Roast turkey was lovely and a generous helping!

Beautiful old building....didn't get put in the ducking stool!Cosy on a very chilly evening!Staff super and very nice!Food for all 4 of us was super!!Very reasonable prices too!Will go again!❤️

Lovely atmosphere and the service was excellent it's a shame the food doesn't match. We were looking forward to eating here as it had a lot of good reviews but we're let down. We had the lamb roast but the meat was really processed and chewy not fresh off the joint and the bannoffe pie not up to par.

We had a table for 7 and everything ran so smoothly. The staff were friendly and professional and the food was absolutely stunning. Huge portion sizes! We will be back I am sure and would highly recommend.

Really delicious sitting down to eat! Nice cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff, if you also spend less than 30 pounds (delicious steak, dessert and a nice drink), I think that's a plus! 5 stars and I don't just give 5 stars!

went here for dinner for my birthday, such amazing food and our server Tarnie was so sweet and amazing! They even got a birthday candle and sang for me! I felt incredibly special! We will definitely be back again! xx

Lovely place to go and eat. Great atmosphere the food was amaizing full of charactor.

It was wonderful and Hina’s service was great, as was the great fish and chips!

Delicious food and fantastic service by Hina!

Food was super tasty, Tarnie served us very well. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely time in the old weavers! Was made even better with our server Tarnie who went above and beyond for us! She is an asset to this resturant!

Very nice dining experience! Thank you Hima for the wonderful service!

Very good food with excellent service from Hina. Luv it!!

The food was very nice! The service was amazing too, Hina made everything great!

The Tower of Canterbury was absolutely massive and amazing! The service was excellent too - our waitress Hina took great care of us! Highly recommend

The Tower of Canterbury was amazing. Although it was big I was very satisfied. Also Hina provided great service!

Excellent food and very quick service even when busy Highly recommend

Great restaurant, good food and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Have been eating in Old Weavers every few weeks for quite a number of years now with my dad and the kids.... Since we first went in we won't go anywhere else!! Firstly the atmosphere and decor are both superb, real old feel and some fantastic and also obscure decor which really add to the relaxed atmosphere!! The staff are always super friendly and make you feel very welcome. The outdoor area is lovely in the summer months too, food is amazing!! All cooked perfectly and very fresh.... The homemade pies are absolutely the best pies I've ever tasted and they have quite a selection of fillings, accompanied by their homemade chips which are delicious!!

Service was a bit sluggish and the food took its time to arrive. Seats are a little close together. Food itself was nice, and generous portions.

My meal was horrible... Starter of brie bites was smothered in sauce so the batter was soggy and it was cold The mains of fish pie,I couldn't eat. The fish still had skin on which was slimy and despite my best efforts It was too fiddly to take each bit of skin off each piece of fish. The server harassed us towards the end of our meal. While drinking coffees and chatting she came over 7 times, each time interrupting our conversation to ask for a single glass or table wear she wanted to take away. Eventually before we'd even finished our drinks we asked for the bill at which point she must have been able to leave because we didn't see her again after that. The setting was nice but not nice enough to ever go back to this place

Booked a table at lunchtime. Really great roast beef. Generous plate of food. Had banofee pie, delicious! Quirky decor inside too. Waiting staff busy but still attentive. Will defo return.

Very nice restaurant. Fast service, impeccable staff. A very friendly atmosphere. I recommend that you take a look.

A very nice restaurant, with fast service, typically English decor, with very good and rich meals at very reasonable prices. I strongly advise you to do so.

Really good and delicious meal for a nice price. Typical cook and mood. I advice you to eat there

Lovely meal at The Old Weavers, food us excellent just be aware the portions are huge and delicious so well worth the price.

Lovely in a great atmosphere with wonderful staff

Omg I loved it it was so slay, the food, the people, the atmosphere and Lizzie was super kind and chatty, I want her as my friend, yippeee yi yay

Food is fantastic service is amazing considering how busy they get lots of wall hangings to gaze at and olde worlde decor all round

Centennial restaurant, very well preserved. A return to time that exceeded expectations. One of the best meats we ate on our 2024 trip.

Apparently, the restaurant is a benchmark due to its location and age. We have eaten a lunch menu at an affordable price, taking into account that it is a very touristy place and you pay in pounds..

Best pies and roasts in Canterbury. Elizabeth was a lovely server.

Such a fun and atmospheric location! We were seated immediately and ordered two pies- the Guinness and beef and the lamb and apricot and my husband and I shared the chips, vegetables, and onion rings. The pies were amazing- piping hot and the pastry was lovely and flakey. Both had a good portion of meat and were very filling. The veg was surprisingly lovely with a bit of cream sauce it was delicious. The onion rings were good, crispy and not oily. The chips were the only thing I thought could have been improved. They were ok but definitely were under a heater for a little bit so went a bit dry and cold- not my fav. We also ordered the banoffee pie and the treacle pudding- both were very nice, particularly the treacle pudding- not too sweet and a perfect portion. The service was quick and attentive. Our server was Hina- she was very helpful! I would definitely come back for pies and dessert again.

The food was nice. Good service from Hina

Great food, stunning interior, child friendly, absolutely delighted to be served by Hina!

Traditional eatery located in the second oldest building in Canterbury with delicious food and a cosy atmosphere. We were looked after by Hina who made us feel very welcome.

Very good food and good service especially from Hina.

Super nice place, Hina wad super lovely

Brilliant service and picturesque river to look over as you eat your delicious meal

Hina was a great server. The food was great and a great atmosphere!

Thank you Tarnie our fab waitress. The home cooked food was delicious and very generous portions horseradish was homemade too! We had set 3 course meal amazing valve for the quality

So pleased we tried here the food was amazing and very filling the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful even though they were very busy but not surprisingly as it's a great place and value to eat Thank you to Tarnie our fab waitress!!

Had a really nice lunch here, food was fantastic. Our waitress was Izzy, she could not have been more helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend.

The food is absolutely amazing. The pie is so good. I don’t like burgers but the burgers are so good. The inside is so nice. Tatarnie is so sweet.

Went in for food last week, had tower of canterbury was the best burger i’ve had in a while, served by Elizabeth who was lovely and smiley and was more than happy to help with out wine queries

We where in canterbury for a day and a night, we had a lovely evening meal at this traditional restaurant, with top service from Hina our waitress for the evening who took great care of our needs.

Perfect place for a nice family meal

Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. My husband had toast lamb dinner which was excellent and I had one of their famous pies delicious. I would recommend the food and the venue first class

Very good food served by lovely staff, especially Hina. So good we returned. The pies are original and very tasty.

It was a good experience good was very good and it was good experience to visit. Service was very good by hina. Highly recommended

This is great restaurant to visit, really good location and over looking the water, its a great punt.... food and service exceptional, ask for Hina, she is a sweat heart.

Very good value for money with the menu offered. Very generous children's menu. Pleasant service.

Awesome food and fantastic vibe. The atmosphere and service were great too, Hina's recommendations and vibe were on point.

The food was very tasty and the service is also very nice by miss hina. The order was ready very quickly, I always visit this restaurant whenever i go to Canterbury.

Very good meal and service was excellent from Izzy

Great food at an interestingly decorated restaurant- I sat underneath a cuckoo clock and next to a suit of armour! I had one of the house specials as a main meal which was The Tower of Canterbury- absolutely delicious and very filling. Izzy, my server, was lovely and very attentive. I’ll definitely go again.

Excellent solution to live a typical English experience. Food above our (Italian) expectations. We had roast turkey, soup, grilled fish and seasonal vegetables. All good. Adequate prices. Friendly and efficient staff. Truly picturesque location.

The Old Weavers is a lovely old pub right on the water canal. It's very narrow and really comfortable. If you go all the way through and back out, you come to a beautiful outdoor terrace right on the water. We had dinner there with 8 people on a Friday. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we got a seat in the full restaurant. In addition to the normal menu, there was a set menu menu with 2 or 3 courses (see photos), which I can only recommend. Because of this map we decided to visit this location again the next day. Unfortunately, the offer was no longer available a day later as it is probably not valid on Saturdays and Sundays. The food is really good and can only be recommended. The service was also very nice. Small note...if you eat there with a group and need different bills, you should mention this to the staff beforehand.

Excellent restaurant in Canterbury to enjoy typical English food. The building is beautiful from the outside and the decoration is traditional. The atmosphere is very calm and the service is great. Good quality-price ratio. To repeat

Hina was supported for us. She was exceptional worker. I ordered “tower of Canterbury “

Amazing experience Hina was such a funny and pleasant waiter the staff are brilliant . So fast and friendly . Thank you for this experience. Great food.

Had lovely service from Hina who was very attentive. Will be coming back again for sure!

Fantastic restaurant - Great food, great atmosphere in a historic setting and great service by our waitress Hina. We definitely recommend this restaurant

Hina is such a great server. We had great time having dinner here thanks to her. We’ll come back for sure!

Hina's service was excellent. The food was delicious. I'll come again.

Hina is such a lovely server! We had great time thanks to her!

A bit of a quirky pub with "medieval armours" , shields, Napoleonic military pictures - all in the middle of the busy Canterbury High Street. Fast service providing good sized portions.

We were in Canterbury for a two days, and usually we never go back to the same restaurant twice, but for this restaurant we did. In the afternoon we had 3 sets of appetizers who were delicious and for supper we had a chicken and cranberry pie, a salmon and cod pie and a Chicken & Bacon with white wine sauce, potatoes and mushrooms (Gluten Free). Our servers Izzy, Lizzie and Mo were really helpful and helped me figure out what I could eat, with the dishes that could be made Gluten Free. They were so nice and so helpful. We (all 3) recommend this restaurant. The garden in the back is super nice, near the river, and the inside has a rustic vibe that we all enjoyed!!

Very tasty and nice service! You should definitely try one of the pies, but the burgers are great too!

Charming British pub with a great atmosphere. Seating inside was cozy and the beer garden outside looked beautiful. Even has a view of the historic witches dunking chair. We were served by Annie. She was lovely to chat with and her service went above and beyond. The food we ordered and wine we drank were beautiful. Great environment and atmosphere to enjoy. Highly recommend.

We recently spent a wonderful evening at the Old Weavers House. The restaurant is very cozy, the design is made in an old style. The menu includes traditional British cuisine and there are many options for a delicious dinner. We were very pleased with our meals (salmon and kings prawns, fish and chips and Tower of Canterbury are very good). We were also pleasantly surprised with a lovely bonus dessert for my birthday. P.S. The backyard is very pretty and has a great view of the river.

Wonderful experience at a historic restaurant with a charming atmosphere! A unique touch, making it feel like you were part of a story. We were celebrating our friend's birthday and the team started singing "happy birthday" they are so sweet and lovely! Great service. After eight years in the UK, I'm glad that I finally found such delicious food and desserts. This place worth visiting again!

Charming location for a pint. Loved this historic and charming pub. Very authentic. Seating inside and outside on a sunny day you can sit on the patio and watch the punters go by. Also great location to take a photo of the famed witches chair. Food was not my favorite. Maybe we ordered the wrong items.

The food was very delicious, but the service was even better, Hina had great customer service and treated us very well. We are very pleased definitely will come again.

No reservations but managed to squeeze us in, we had the steak and kidney pie and venison pie. The steak pie was good but the venison was one of the best that we have had in a while. The waitress who served us was extra smiley and attentive, made the experience all the more better. The vintage decor really adds to the atmosphere and building vibes, would definitely recommend this venue.

“I've been looking forward to trying sea food mix at old weavers for awhile now, and was so glad that I did! The food was so delicious and the service was really great, too! The seafood mix was so yummy and I ate the whole thing, even though it was quite heavy for one person. Thanks Hina for your recommendation.

Had a great night with family. The food was amazing and the service was even more better especially from HINA who made sure we have a quality time and also recommended the best dish in town!

Was served by Hina she was helpful, welcoming and smiling as she explained the menu really well! Great example of customer service . And the food was very delicious and amazing environment. Loved everything specially the girl who served me the food. This 5 star only for her ❤️

Delicious, yummy food and service is awesome by hina, thank you very much!

I had amazing experience at old weavers last night. The food was absolutely delicious especially salmon king prawn and service was top notch by Hina

One of the most delicious food in town just have stake with chips the stake cooked perfectly and really nice Quality high recommend it Will definitely visit again soon Thanks Ali and Ahmed really good service you provide

It was a lovely experience. Food was good and service by HINA was great. Tasty food served by good staff.

Food quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Thank you Hina.

We have good experiance,,,services are good,,especially thanks to Hina

The food is very delicious, tastes great.eating something from the right place. highly recommend service was outstanding by hina

My partner had a severe allergic reaction here due to the waiter/chef's lack of knowledge about allergens. As my partner struggled to breathe and began vomiting, the staff offered us a bottle of wine as "compensation" and accused us of lying to avoid the bill. It's probably fine if you don’t have allergies, but if you do, avoid this place at all costs. The staff showed zero understanding or concern.

Just had a lunch in old Wervers really enjoyed my beef rost with fresh side of vegetables and the staff was really nice and very helpful will definitely come back again high recommend comeing back definitely soon Thanks Wervers staff

The food is really good. Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I really suggest chicken & mushroom pie and steak & kidney pie. Hands down, some of the most delicious food I have eaten. Thank you so much hina for great service with love.

We were randomly passing by and decided to go in for an early dinner. The ambience was nice! Very old bldg. with interesting artifacts adorning the walls. The food however was disappointing. The roast beef was sliced thin and tasted like lunch meat. The vegetables were soggy and certainly not fresh. The fish was overcooked. The chips were okay.

Answer no sense from the supposed manager. We came in for a quick dessert half an hour before closing and he said that we couldn’t come in only for dessert because is a restaurant and customer have to order a full meal to have dessert. This is not hospitality at all

It was very delicious and the Service by Hina is very good.

Best English food I've had in a while, everything was spiced perfectly. Very well worth the price. Definitely coming back.
