The Old Well Restaurant in Canterbury

The Two Sawyers is a great place to meet friends and in the busy run up to Christmas there’s always people who I want to see before family arrangements take over. We booked a table because in December pubs in Canterbury are always busy. My friend was coming after a busy day of meetings so she’d already ordered the sausages and mash before I had arrived. I quickly ordered the chilli con carne while we enjoyed a glass of red wine and both orders arrived together. The food was delicious and generous in size. The service was attentive but not intrusive. If you like a traditional English pub then do explore the back streets of Canterbury, especially Ivy Lane, just 10 minutes away from the Main Street.

I do trust TripAdvisor so I had high expectations of here. On entry the place was busy and the welcome friendly. There were 4 of us and we all love a curry. It turned out to be a 50/50 split night as two of us thought our meals were good,( Chettinad and a Bhuna) while the other two described their meals ( the Shashlik and the Tamasha) as very average. Not fantastic, not bad just somewhere in the middle

Follow up review - this is now my go to cafe in Canterbury, it’s bloody fantastic!!! Popped in for breakfast and a coffee and it was absolutely brilliant- coffee was really tasty and the eggs Benedict was a masterpiece - the bacon was thick and cooked to perfection!

Great place to stay. Friendly, polite staff. Spacious, relaxing bar/restaurant area. Very comfortable quiet bedroom with all the usual facilities. Large car park. A perfect venue for sightseeing or attending local events. Will definitely stay here again.

I was an regular customer. Since a few months the costumers service is gone terrible. Last time I visited was none there and I waited 10 min and none served me ,they were preparing some deliveries and they had no time to even give me attention,of course I left without anything. I will not recommend anyone,the staff is doing everything that you not come back.
