the saffa bru in Shepway

Food was very disappointing. Ordered the meat board to see what else was good to order and ended up not ordering anything else. As a South African it was somewhat embarrassing.

We visited for the very first time on Memorial Sunday. We were greeted with a smile. We ordered the meat platters for 4 people. The portions are generous as we could not eat it all. We took out our left overs and had them for dinner and lunch the next day. The staff even gave us free chicken curry and toasted buns. I must say that the food over exceeded my expectations. I normally would pay £30.00 for steak, chips and salad at other steak restaurants. For £25.00 at Saffa bru; you get more than just a piece of steak. My sister who is visiting from South Africa also commented on how generous the portion sizes were and the value for money. I will definitely be returning today. Thank you for an exceptional service.

Amazing! The people here are so nice. You can taste the love in the food. If you’re South African and looking for a taste of home come here. Very reasonably priced too.

Amazing! We got the platter here from the chips to the meat to the salad everything was superb. A great taste of home 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Excellent. Two burgers in as many days. High quality, hot and tasty. Pricing fair for the standard of food. Also enjoyed playing with the owners new dog, and front of houses infectious (if unusual) laugh. Make sure you're hungry, the portions are generous.

Really nice food, the potato salad was the best I have had in years. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great addition to the Harbour Arm and I would say the best food option.

I think I must have eaten in a different place than all the 5* reviews. The person who took our order was leaning their head on their hand all the way thru taking our order, they must have had a long day... There were three of us, we all ordered different things and all were disappointed. Food is very Instagrammable, but most of it was not good. The steak and lamb were not seasoned at all. The tasting platter did not come with all the items mentioned in the menu. The potato salad and samosas were good. The salad leaves looked like they had had better days. All in all very disappointed.

Had a sharing platter....£25 per head, really not worth the money. Food was nice, but very overpriced.

Delicious food, we ordered ribeye with fries 🤤 . Super tasty. The kimchi and the peppers salad was amazing, sweet and sour combination that melted in your mouth. Great place to eat.

Brilliant food and good size portions. We opted for the Malay chicken curry loaded fries and were not disappointed! Staff were friendly and let us sit inside with our dog.

Took my son for his birthday, first time for both. I'm South African and thought I'd try boerewors 😋 but had vegan taco and my son had rib steak dish. It was awesome. The flavours the presentation all on point. It was delicious. The fries just how I like it crunchy, thin and good portion. It was worth every penny. Even my son said he would have it again. Next time have to sample the boerewors roll, hopefully with lots of chutney 🍒 I recommend this place

Holy damn It's not just food here. It's magic. Had the steak soft shell taco and potato salad. The tacos where just a perfect mix of flavours adding to the amazingly cooked steak. The fries dipped in the sauce and drippings from the tacos just blended into an amalgamation of inspirational flavours. The potato salad was also just perfect. Beautifully cooked potatoes and the dressing was spot on to bring everything together. Would absolutely, 100% without a doubt, visit again and bring the family. Just perfect. Amazingly friendly staff and just such a great vibe. Perfect for the foody on the go.

Finally someone decided to bring us new flavours. So fed up with the usual burgers, pizza and kebabs that have become things I don't even bother looking at when visiting new places or going out as I call them boring food. I mean Saffa Bru has a great working team always with smiles food is colourful, taste amazing with amazing portions and I get explosions of flavours in my mouth every single time. I simply love it!!! Keep up the good work guy's

Incredible food, service & concept. Highly recommended.

Visited in the week before their big opening. Steak and fries with peppercorn sauce and fresh salsa was really tasty, didn't have to wait too long - would visit again!

Great pub, and brilliant food. Prices are reasonable, and the food was cooked fresh, with great balance and evident quality. Ten pounds for two steak tacos and fries was great value, and there was a really good selection behind the bar too. Highly recommended and would come far more often if I lived in Canterbury

Outstanding food will defo order again.
